Around 3:55, you can’t hear him, but the man on the ground says, “they’re going to shoot me” and then you can clearly hear someone behind me say, “They ain’t gonna shoot you man, that’s why we have these cameras out here.”

So, the person being detained uttered a comment based on nothing that the cops would do. suggesting that perhaps he wasn’t in his right mind then. or at least was misjudging the situation.

A person in the crowd says “they aint gonna shoot you man”. thats right. They weren’t going to shoot him. its a meme and a hysterical talking point that cops are just shooting people while being black. There is literally no indication that cops were about to shoot him. And yet HE says the cops are going to shoot him. YOU insinuate that, except for you being there, the cops might shoot him. And then a guy in the crowd says “They aint gonna shoot you that’s why we have the cameras out” as if, if his camera wasn’t out the cop was going to shoot him. They WERENT GOING TO SHOOT HIM. It’s irrational therefore for everyone to assume that they were. Maybe, stop being so irrational.

It doesnt serve you as a supposed REPORTER. Learn objectivity.
