The real discussion doesn't really even start until 20 minutes into the video, so some people may want to forward this to that point.

This video above was only released after yesterday's Dayton City Commission meeting and the multiple witnesses who testified.

Have the local news made any changes to this story after the council testimony?

The gentleman at the meeting seemed to have a lot of damning information, such as the man begging for his life and still being shot. IOW, not a heat of the moment, self-defensive manuever.

Just hoping that the whole truth will come out and if these guys did what was alleged in the video, they are charged and the corporation that operated the property is punished for allowing things to get so out of hand.

The woman who lived at the apartment building who spoke after him, indicated there was funny business going with Ranger Security, as well. I listened to part of that and left the video there.

says there is video. Have not seen it yet. The first reports in the local media were essentially, "The Police said", with no witnesses that I know of being interviewed.
