A LEO have many tools at their disposal. Yet instead of pepper spray, taser or beat stick they insisted on shooting him where he stood for swinging some beers at a cop. Don't get me wrong, if he was being charged or something by all means, but it seems there are some missing facts, I would hope that the LEO at least warned him or he saw the gun and decided not to comply before shooting him. Seems our LEO's today are getting a little too trigger happy, shoot first ask questions later, but that might just be me.
striking an officer in the back of the head, hmmm could initiate a response!

and a large man (remember we're dealing with a football player) starts fighting and hitting my partner in the head with a heavy bag that contains canned goods, I'm shooting.
Just for the sake of accuracy, this former player weighed 212 and was 5'11" when playing. Probably a little heavier now but not one of those "Giants" that seem to be on the field today.
Well, to me 5'11" and 212 is a big guy. LOL

"They asked my dad if he was the person buying alcohol for underage youth," Jerrica Cor-Dova said.
According to Turner's son, his father denied the claims, but deputies continued to question him. Turner then asked officers if he was being arrested. The deputies said no, and Turner grabbed his stuff and began to walk away.
"As he was walking away, the officers came up behind him and hit him in the back of the legs with a club, causing him to fall on his knees," Cor-Dova said.
Turner's son said the bag his father was carrying fell to the ground and the beer in the bag exploded. The next thing he heard was two shots being fired.
"My brother said he yelled my dad's name, and my father was lying there still," Cor-Dova relayed the story.
"I know that there is a video recording, so we are relying heavily on the video recording from Fastrip," Cor-Dova said.
Eyewitness News contacted Fastrip in an effort to obtain the surveillance video, but, due to the ongoing investigation, it cannot release the video.
There is a huge difference between the two stories. They cannot both exist. Somebody is a liar.
