The family of activist Manuel “Tortuguita” Teran says newly released body camera videos f“raise more questions than they answer” about last month’s deadly shooting near the property where the city’s police foundation plans to build a training center.
body camera videos from Atlanta Police Department officers “raise more questions than they answer” about last month’s deadly shooting near the property where the city’s police foundation plans to build a $90-million training center.
The body camera footage shows the officers’ actions after hearing a barrage of gunfire in another part of the woods. Neither statement specifically mentioned the portion of video that set certain corners of social media ablaze with cries of “friendly fire” Wednesday night. In its own statement, APD said the following: “Several responding officers are heard commenting about the shooting as they approached the site. We have found no evidence to suggest these officers had any information on the events surrounding the shooting prior to their comments.”It was unclear how many videos would ultimately be released, and Atlanta police did not immediately respond to requests for clarification.
The group of APD officers takes cover behind nearby trees before advancing in the direction of the commotion. They eventually surround a green tent .“To me it sounded like fireworks. It was rapping,” someone else replies. The statement released by the agency on Thursday asked for patience, and said videos from any other law enforcement officers in the forest that day would be provided once the investigation is complete.
