The city released video Thursday from one officer’s body-camera in two versions, one of them slowed down to make it easier to follow. The video showed the man attempting to drive away from police before his vehicle was hemmed in, and then showed him looking through his driver’s side window at the officers. Glass then erupts from the driver's window. An officer is heard voicing an expletive, and multiple shots are fired.
