Body camera footage showing a sheriff's deputy shooting Isaiah Brown 10 times was viewed by his family yesterday.
At the time he was shot, Isaiah was on the phone to 911, and police claim that the sheriff's deputy mistook the phone for a gun.

Even if one puts aside how one can mistake a phone for a gun - the excuse we hear time and time again in police shooting cases (Stephon Clark et al) - Isaiah was literally on the phone to 911.
How is the sheriff's deputy not in communication with dispatchers?

And, if you read the transcript of the audio from the bodycam footage (the footage itself has not been made public) it sounds as tho *maybe* the deputy thought Isaiah was going to kill himself (that he had a gun to his head).
So you shoot someone to stop them killing themselves?

Make that make sense.
