Police claim Smith had a knife and posed a danger to officers.
In the video, Smith is seen walking out of the house with his hands up. The video clearly shows his hands empty as he holds them in the air. A few seconds pass, Smith continues holding his hands in the air and bean bag shots are fired. Smith can then be seen rolling around in pain as the officers then come over and stomp on him.
The crowd responds by saying, “that’s bullshit.”
Police say he attempted to stab an officer in the head with a knife and that a second knife was later found in Smith’s pocket.
But no knife can be seen in the video and it’s likely Smith never actually stabbed an officer being that no officer’s head was near Smith while he squirmed in agony from the bean bag shots. It’s also likely he didn’t know he had been shot by bean bags, and instead thought he was shot by bullets.
They also claim that Smith had a warrant and just didn’t want to be arrested. Smith is now charged with attempted capitol murder for attacking an officer with a knife despite the video showing he did no such thing.
