Dyer said the decision to release them was based on public concern over how police handled the incident, which has sparked protests. &#8220;I am calling for calm in our community,&#8221; he said. The release of the videos comes as police are under sharp scrutiny across the country over numerous high-profile police killings of unarmed black people, sparking widespread and sometimes destructive protests.<\/p>\n<p>In the video, Noble &#8211; who subsequently was found to have been unarmed &#8211; appears to hide his hands behind his back and walk toward officers, disobeying commands to show his hands, get on the ground and stop advancing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI fucking hate my life,\u201d Noble shouts a split-second before an officer shoots him twice. The video then shows Noble continue to reach toward his waist before he is shot twice more, including one shotgun blast from a second officer. The video does not appear to show Noble pulling his hand out \u201cvery quickly\u201d before the shooting, however, as Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer told reporters last month.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/video\/c\/embed\/d1cc3aec-499f-11e6-8dac-0c6e4accc5b1\" width=\"560\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>* * *<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/morning-mix\/wp\/2016\/07\/14\/trigger-happy-or-well-trained-police-in-fresno-calif-release-video-of-dylan-noble-shooting\/\">WaPo reports<\/a>, the incident began about 3:20 p.m. June 25, when Fresno police responded to a call from a woman who reported a man in a camouflage jacket walking around near the city\u2019s airport while carrying a rifle.<\/p>\n<p>Two officers in the area spotted Noble \u201cpeeling out\u201d in his black pickup truck and pulled him over at a Chevron gas station. A body camera on the officer who drove the police vehicle captures him and his partner drawing their guns as they step from their squad car.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTurn off the truck,\u201d the officer says. \u201cGet your hands out the window. Both hands out the window.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Noble\u2019s truck door appears to swing open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I didn\u2019t tell you to get out,\u201d the officer behind the camera continues. \u201cHey, let me see both your hands. Let me see both your hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Noble appears to hold his left hand up but not his right.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me see your hands. Get both your hands out. Both your hands,\u201d the officer says, calling for backup. \u201cLet me see your hands. Let me see your hands. Let me see your hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth hands. Both hands,\u201d says the partner as a third officer arrives and racks his shotgun. (His body-camera footage was also released Wednesday.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet your hands out where we can see them,\u201d shouts the first officer\u2019s partner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth your hands,\u201d the first officer says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOther hand. Right hand up. Right hand up,\u201d his partner says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we have a dog with us,\u201d the officer with the shotgun says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSubject keeps reaching for his waistband,\u201d the first officer says into his radio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s getting out of the car,\u201d the officer with the shotgun shouts.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple officers frantically shout for Noble to get on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have a dog?\u201d the officer with the shotgun asks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me see your hands,\u201d the first officer tells Noble as he holds his right hand behind his back and walks toward them. \u201cStop, stop reaching. Stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet down on the ground. Get down on the ground now. Get your f\u2014ing ass on the ground,\u201d the officer with the shotgun says. \u201cFresno Police Department.

An object \u2014 later determined to be a 4-by-4-inch piece of clear plastic, according to the Bee \u2014 falls to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShots fired, subject down,\u201d the officer with the shotgun says into his radio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet your hands up\u201d the first officer says.<\/p>\n<p>Noble then rolls onto his back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me see your hands,\u201d the officer with the shotgun says.<\/p>\n<p>Noble then appears to reach with his right hand toward his waistband.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKeep your hands up,\u201d the officer with the shotgun shouts. \u201cI cannot see his hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A third shot rings out, apparently fired by the first officer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDude, keep your hands out,\u201d the officer with the shotgun says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t reach with your hands,\u201d the first officer says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuit reaching for what you\u2019ve got,\u201d the officer with the shotgun says. \u201cKeep your hands out. Dude, if you reach one more time, you will get shot again. Stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Noble\u2019s right hand moves again toward his waistband.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDude,\u201d the officer with the shotgun says, firing once at Noble.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDude, do not reach again, please,\u201d the officer with the shotgun says.<\/p>\n<p>Noble was taken to a local hospital but died during surgery, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.latimes.com\/local\/lanow\/la-me-ln-video-shooting-dylan-noble-20160707-snap-story.html\">the Los Angeles Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>* * *<\/p>\n<p><em>A view from the second body cam:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1ZW_ARzMYX4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Two days later, Dyer, the police chief, told reporters that the shooting was a \u201ctragedy\u201d but that body-camera footage of the incident showed why officers \u201cfelt, at least in their minds,\u201d the need to open fire. He said the footage showed Noble pulling his hand out \u201cvery quickly\u201d before he was shot, adding that, like Noble\u2019s parents, he was baffled by the incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re talking about a 19-year-old young man who doesn\u2019t have any criminal history, and we\u2019re trying to figure out why this occurred,\u201d he said, according to the Bee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Some of this video will answer many of the questions that are out there in this community,&#8221; Dyer said. &#8220;However, I also believe this video is going to raise questions just as those questions exist in my mind as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dyer said questions remain as to whether the last two shots that were fired by police when Noble was lying on the ground were necessary.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWere the last two rounds fired by the officers necessary? Based on a reasonable fear, did the officers have to use deadly force? I do not have the answer to that today,\u201d Dyer said, according to the Guardian. \u201cThat video was extremely disturbing to watch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dyer added that he hoped the video, which Noble\u2019s family had called on him to release, would not unleash more violence. \u201cTensions are high,\u201d he said, according to the Associated Press. \u201cIn some cases, we are one spark away from a forest fire. And I pray this video doesn\u2019t serve as that spark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The object in Noble\u2019s hand is being investigated by the Justice Department, the Bee reported. According to the Times, it contained malleable clay.<\/p>\n<p>A criminal and an internal affairs investigation are ongoing. Noble&#8217;s mother has filed a wrongful-death claim against the department, local media reported.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When one Black Lives Matter supporter tweeted Friday that the movement \u201cstands with Dylan Noble,\u201d she was attacked from all sides. \u201cIt was suicide by cop,\u201d wrote one commenter who criticized the Black Lives Matter movement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy do you believe the movement stands with him?\u201d asked a Black Lives Matter sympathizer. \u201cIt was believed he was flying his confederate flag when shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His friends and family say Noble should be remembered simply as a fun-loving country boy who deserved more than to die in a gas station parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey executed him,\u201d Darren Noble told YourCentralValley.com on Wednesday. \u201cThere was no reason for them to even have guns drawn down on him for a traffic stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Warren Paboojian, the father\u2019s attorney, admitted that Noble did not follow officers\u2019 commands but said police could have used non-lethal means of subduing him, including a K-9 reportedly at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were telling a young boy, who may have been under the influence of some alcohol, to do a bunch of commands for a routine traffic stop,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Paboojian added that the family had at least one thing in common with the officers who killed Noble.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want any more violence or any threats to police officers or anyone else,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2016-07-14\/fresno-police-release-video-deadly-shooting-unarmed-white-man\">http:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/news\/2016-07-14\/fresno-police-release-video-deadly-shooting-unarmed-white-man<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=43279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43279\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=43279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=43279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=43279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
