A frame-by-frame analysis of police body camera video from the deadly shooting involving Ryan Whittaker was included in hundreds of pages of reports released to ABC15 this week: abc15
PHOENIX — Phoenix police hired an outside forensic video analyst to help review the controversial officer-involved shooting of Ryan Whitaker in May 2020.
At that point, the gun is visible from Officer Cooke's camera vantage point and he begins to draw his gun. The analyst also documents the conversation which lasts just 1.87 seconds from the time Whitaker opens the door until Officer Cooke fires his first shot. Much of what is said is cross-talk:2:58.822 “What?”2:59.724 “Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa.”Officer Cooke fires three times, striking Whitaker in the back twice. The analyst wrote Whitaker still had his gun in his right hand when the first shot is fired. All three shots are fired within half a second.
It's unclear how often the city uses an outside video analyst to help determine whether officers broke policies or the law in shootings or other uses of force. You can read the analyst's full report in the Whitaker case below.
