he
officer told him in so many words that anything could be considered a
weapon, so Jones admitted calmly, “I do have something on me then.”
Again, without giving Jones the ability to even finish what he was
saying, the officer got aggressive, this time grabbing him and
attempting to subdue him.
Throughout the altercation Jones continued to ask
“What did I do to you?” and “What do you want?” But since the two were
no longer in view of the vehicle’s dashboard camera, it is hard to see
exactly what is happening during that struggle. Next, you can hear the
officer use his taser on Jones, at which point Jones begins to run down
the street.
Next, multiple other police cars arrived on the scene,
which later provided more dash-cam evidence to provide insight into
what actually happened.
By the time other cars arrived on the scene, it seems
as if Jones was laying on the ground with several police officers
standing over him, yelling at him, punching and kicking him, and using
tasers on him multiple times. With Jones on the ground, one of the
officers shouted “drop his f***** ass, drop his ass!!”, and they opened
fire on him, shooting him a total of 23 times.
After the shooting, police can be seen pacing around
the body and tampering with the crime scene. Later, it was revealed that
the police officers there tried to plant multiple knives on his body
and claim that he “had a knife.” However, the officers did such a poor
job at covering their tracks while planting the weapon that they could
not even enter it as evidence in the case.
One of the officers even went so far as to say that he
was stabbed, although it was later found that he was not stabbed, and
no knife belonging to Jones was actually found or entered as evidence.
The cover-up didnt stop there, when the police finally
released the dash-cam footage it was obviously tampered with, large
segments of audio and video were missing from the footage, and the
time-stamps did not even match up. Even with the edits, the dash-cam
footage does provide a number of clues into what actually took place,
including one admission from an officer who said “he wasn’t “f****** doing nothing – so we all shot him”
