I saw the weapon in his right hand, and even once down, his hands kept moving--even as more rounds were pumped into him. The officers on scene were able to reasonably conclude that he was still a threat to them (or others) while those hands were still moving, and I'm pretty certain that the presentation before the grand jury included testimony to that effect. What might otherwise seem like an excessive number of gunshots was actually several gunshots from a fairly large number of officers on scene and participating in the final takedown.I didn't go back and check, but was it his gun hand that was the last "part" of him to hit the ground, or am I mistaken?
He was laying on his back, but his left hand was still up off the ground till the very end, no?
Same here, that's what it looked to me.I saw the weapon in his right hand, and even once down, his hands kept moving--even as more rounds were pumped into him.

Also I don't recall seeing any blood anywhere, that seemed pretty surprising to me, there certainly were enough holes in him.
Especially since it appears there were many ricochet's/bank shots off the concrete...

I can see what they're getting at. If one of us lowly civies put a couple of full mags into someone we'd be having a fun day in court.
But that dude made his decision and got to ride the lead bullet train. I don't really care how many times they shot him.
