The train arrives during the confrontation and he backs into the car, where the cops tase him, to little effect. A few passengers are seen sitting. Mickles exits the car and is shown running at Mays through the officer’s body-worn camera. He freezes when the guns come out. The officers fired a combined nine shots.
Additionally, he believes the five days between the shooting and the camera footage release was “a mistake,” saying how critical transparency is after such a shooting. “We need to find responses to problems that are essentially social or economic in nature, not by the use of the police department, but by providing sufficient funding and support to programs and services that are going to help people who are living below the poverty line in New York City,” Gangi said.
