From the YouTube summary:

Images of last week’s fatal police shooting in Miami Beach have been released.

Here you see footage recorded on a cell phone by Narces Benoit.

The police are surrounding a car driven by Raymond Herisse. Then they started firing at the 22-year-old.

Herisse was killed, three officers and four bystanders were injured.

Benoit and his girlfriend, Ericka Davis, are accusing authorities of destroying evidence and intimidation.

They say the only reason this video is still around because they were able to hide a memory card before authorities smashed the phone that captured this incident.

They have hired a lawyer, saying they “want the right thing to be done.”

According to Benoit, the police threatened him and his girlfriend.

The video ends as more officers are heard yelling expletives, telling the couple to turn the video off and get out of the car.

“They put guns to our heads and threw us on the ground,” Davis said.

Benoit said a Miami Beach officer grabbed his cell phone, said “You want to be [expletive] Paparazzi?” and stomped on his phone before placing him in handcuffs and shoving the crunched phone in Benoit’s back pocket. He said the couple joined other witnesses already in cuffs and being watched by officers, who were on the lookout for two passengers who, police believe at the time, had bailed out of Herisse’s car. It is still not known whether any passengers were in the car.

Benoit said the officers eventually uncuffed him after gunshots rang out elsewhere and he discreetly removed the SIM card and placed it in his mouth.

Officers again took his phone, demanding his video. He said they took him to a nearby mobile command center, snapped a picture of him, then took him to police headquarters and conducted a recorded interview while he kept the SIM card in his mouth. He insisted his phone was broken.

The couple and other witnesses claim that the only shots they saw or heard came from police, not Herisse.

Police say at around 4 a.m. on Memorial Day, officers stopped Raymond Herisse in his car, but after an altercation, he sped off. Miami Beach Police Chief Carlos Noriega said that Herisse drove recklessly, striking other cars, “driving on sidewalks, and you name it.” “One of the officers was struck,” he told reporters. Luckily the officer was not seriously injured, he said, but the suspect posed a threat to the officers and the public, “as a situation involving deadly force.”

While Herisse was reckless, it doesn’t warrant deadly force, no matter what the police are trying to tell you.

In the video below, you can see that Herisse’s foot was on the brake (look at the lights on the back of the car) until after the police killed him. From this video it appears that Herisse crashed into a lot of cars, fired out of his car, stopped his car, and then the police killed him. You don’t hear anyone shouting to him to get out of the car.

It doesn’t matter how bad Herisse may be, the police were wrong here. They lined up like a firing squad. They knew exactly what they were doing. I used to think police wearing cameras were a bad idea. The more stories I read about police abuse, the more these cameras might prevent the police from abusing their power. Maybe, if these police had been wearing cameras, Herisse might still be alive.
