One of the other officers, Sgt. Sasha Rosen could be seen in the footage played by prosecutors reaching into the car as someone screamed “hands out of pockets” before a series of gunshots rang out. “I’m shot, I’m shot,” Diller screamed, while a street camera captured him falling near the back of the car. Rivera got out of the car and appeared in a shooting stance before he was taken down by officers as someone could be heard saying “get a cuff on him.” Bodycam video from Diller showed other cops and EMTs attending to the wounded officer and trying to get him into an ambulance as they pleaded with him to hang on. He let out several loud, rasping gasps before the video showed him arriving at the hospital as a flood of medical staff wheeled him through the medical facility.
