New video footage released Wednesday shows the final moments of a deadly confrontation between police and a 19-year-old, unarmed Fresno man on June 25.
Police Chief Jerry Dyer said officers believed Dylan Noble was about to shoot them during the encounter, learning only after the fatal shots were fired that Noble was not armed, The Fresno Bee reported.
The 26 seconds of footage began with an officer commanding Noble, who already was on the ground beside his truck and injured by two previous gunshots, to Get your hands up! Its unclear how Noble reacted, but police fired a third shot at him soon after making the demand. Officers continued giving orders for several more seconds before firing a fourth and final shot at Noble. Throughout the encounter, the trio of officers stood just a few feet from Noble.

Perhaps not so odd. Hard to know.

It doesn't fit the narrative so it is ignored. That's the way it goes here.

Another possibility.... They realized they goofed up after the first shot and decided they didn't want a sympathetic survivor to contradict their story.

to imply he was such a criminal he deserved to be murdered?

I do not understand how several armed officers are surrounding one unarmed man and this is the outcome.
