“They followed directions,” the statement read. “Jabari complied — and within seconds, he was taken to the ground and shot.”

Akin to so many other black men who are murdered by police, like Philando Castile.

I'll wait for release of the footage. That quote is based on what the unnamed witness said and is very different from what police claim. The video, or the failure to release the video, will tell the true story.
