“It’s a country boy thing.”On Saturday afternoon, Fresno police responded to a report of a man walking down the street with a rifle. He had a great passion for dirt bikes, and at the protest those who shared that love with him filled a lot across from the Chevron station, revving their engines as if to rouse the world.Farmer added, “The subject made a statement that he hated his life and made affirmative movement to the small of his back at which time he was shot several times by officers at the scene.”Last September, two Fresno officers with body cameras responded to a call of somebody with a gun posing as a federal agent and instead came upon a shirtless mentally ill man named Freddie Centeno. “Although tensions remain high at this point, not only here in Fresno but across this nation, I believe the timing is right to release this video.”Days after the shooting, Dyer said he felt it would be “premature” to release the video before the investigation was concluded.Officers privately showed the video to Noble’s family last Friday but had initially refused to release the video to the public until the investigation was complete.The body-camera footage released Wednesday shows that officers approached Noble with their guns pointed at him and repeatedly shouted: “Let me see your hands” and “Both hands.”The Baton Rouge shooting and the aftermath of the Minnesota shooting were caught on camera in disturbing footage that quickly went viral.According to the Fresno police department’s account of the shooting, officers pulled Noble over while investigating reports of a man carrying a rifle at around 3.20pm.The department has also failed to remedy “systemic violations” and “civil rights abuses” within the police agency, the claim continues, and has shown “deliberate indifference to the use of excessive and often deadly force in encounters with civilians when it is a grossly disproportionate response”.“Do not reach again, please,” an officer said.Roughly 15 seconds after the third shot, with Noble barely moving, another officer shot a fourth.An officer then shouted: “If you reach one more time, you will get shot again. They also claim he said, “I hate my life,” as if that’s supposed to justify them taking his life. “None of us who knew Dylan believe that for a second,” Standifer says.
Two Fresno police officers shot Dylan Noble in June 2016 after he appeared to ignore commands when they pulled him over. The truck was likely the very one that flew the American flag off the back at other times. Decency requires that the body-camera footage be released as soon as possible.“It’s not race,” he says. The object proved to be a black garden hose nozzle.Noble’s friends surmise that he was reaching for his wallet. “I don’t want no riot. “They’re just trigger-happy.”One officer then fired two shots at Noble, who collapsed onto the ground and rolled onto his back. A subsequent text reported that the doctors had been unable to save him.But it is a big American flag that flies off the back of Noble’s jacked up pickup truck in photos he posted on Facebook in the months before his fatal encounter with cops. “He really was.”The big Confederate flag was what caught the attention of the news cameras at the protest following Saturday’s killing of an unarmed white teenager by police in Fresno, California.“The subject was told to show his hands,” Deputy Chief Pat Farmer later told the press. That same cop waited about 30 seconds before walking up to Noble and shooting him again.Today, after viewing body cam footage of the shooting, Noble’s family filed a claim to sue the Fresno Police Department, stating that they had no justifiable reason to shoot the 19-year-old man on June 25.California police were looking for a man in camouflage walking down the street carrying a rifle when they decided to pull over a man in a truck who was not wearing camouflage and not carrying a rifle.The video, however, is obstructed, shot from across the street as police kill Noble on the other side of his truck.Police in Fresno, California, have released bodycam footage which shows the fatal shooting of 19-year-old Dylan Noble at a gas station last monthAnd when he continued clutching his chest, they shot him again.Fresno police claim Dylan Noble reached for his waistband, causing them to fear for their lives, but the body cam footage tells another story.Fresno police claim Noble reached for his waistband, causing them to fear for their lives. They climbed out with guns drawn and ordered him to get down. There was nothing indicating he was the man walking down the street wearing camouflage carrying a rifle.While prosecutors say they won’t release the body cam footage until the investigation is complete, which can take two months, a witness to the shooting posted a video capturing the tail end of the shooting.It appears as if one hand wasn’t visible so they shot him. Police say the officers sought to pull him over, but he drove a half mile before pulling into the Chevron station.
