Video stirs debate over Dallas police shooting

The Associated Press January 15, 2014 Updated 29 minutes ago

DALLAS — A newly released dash-cam video has stirred debate over whether the December shooting of an unarmed man by a Dallas police officer was justified.

Senior Cpl. Amy Wilburn was fired after wounding a 19-year-old carjacking suspect on Dec. 9. Wilburn's attorney has said the ex-officer feared for her life when she shot Kelvion Walker, wounding him. But a witness told investigators the suspect had his hands raised at the time.

Wilburn was the second Dallas officer dismissed since October in shootings superiors have deemed unjustified.

The video was posted Tuesday on the Dallas Police Department's official YouTube page, http://bit.ly/1gMaLx3 . In it, a carjacking suspect is seen running out of the stolen car after it pulled into an apartment complex. Wilburn runs up to the vehicle as it continues to roll forward. As she opens the driver-side door, she quickly pulls out her gun and fires once. Wilburn then holsters her gun and leans into the car.

Walker cannot be seen, but police say Wilburn shot him. Police also say Wilburn subsequently dropped her gun in the car.

1. Yeah....The Cop Will Get In Trouble....Sure....

Cops will always get the benefit of doubt, just like in Fullerton, CA this week.

It was the same as with Rodney King, nothing has changed. Video can be shown of someone being beaten to death by a gaggle of pigs, and still get away with it 100%.

Pigs are above the law these days.
