video of Okla. cop killing suspect outside a church.

The quality of the video is not very good.  From the video, it is not clear if what the suspect dropped while running was a handgun or not.  However, the officer had a better view.  Critics will complain that the man appears to be turning away from the officer when he is shot.  The officer may have concluded that the suspect had a handgun from the results of the ongoing frisk from which the suspect fled. There was also a report that the suspect had threatened a woman with a handgun. Although the video itself is not conclusive, it shows the value of body cameras in helping draw conclusions.  Kudos to the agency for releasing the video relatively quickly.  This helps prevent conspiracy theories and people drawing wild conclusions.
