Looks like he points the gun at the cop. Lucky he's still alive.

Should the people inside the door stay inside, or come outside? They were ordered to do both by two different voices within a few second time span.

I think the actor with the gun is easier to see in the film version than the body cam version. Clearly pointed towards the approaching officers.

During the scene, a masked robber was suppose to flee the place after being intimidated by the patrons inside. Once outside,

from what witnesses could hear and see, the actor complied with the police, removed his mask, and a gunshot was fired."

I didn't watch any of the videos, but I'm guessing based on what yall are saying, this re-quoted quote is a bit of...shall we say, bullshit?

I think one of the voices was the actor outside.

He sure as heck did!!! He didn't just turn with it...he has the damn thing extended and pointed at the cop.

The actor is lucky the cop didn't do a mag dump on him.
