Fuck the Getty slide (explained).
What is interesting here is the escalation of the conflict, hat already thrown off, glasses down, so shooter has already been struck.
Looking at hand position, shooter is clearing his shoot preparing to draw weapon.
Looks to be holstered in an APPENDIX CARRY position.
This is just before the racking of slide 1 second prior to the spray then kill shot, which happen within 1 second of the mp4 posted. (at the 42 at 43 second mark).
>shooter is clearing his shoot
clearing his shirt ..
Have listened to the 42 and 43 second mark of the mp4 many times.
>i agree that it's most likely completely real. But this image has yet to be adequately explained.
I believe it's a hollow-point round, falling on it's way downward not upward out of the weapon.
No blur (so traveling fairly slowly relative to the slide speed blur, for example).
Shooter racked the slide less that ONE SECOND prior to firing the shot. The mace/bear spray was fired AFTER the shooter racked the slide, and before the actual 'kill shot' was fired.

>Looks like an ejected unfired round. Leads me to believe this person has little handgun experience. ‘’’He racked the slide prior to shooting after the gun already had one in chamber, causing the unfired round to eject.’’’ Rookie day one move.
Completely agree with this anon's analysis in prior bred. Not sure its rookie, or training to ensure there is a chambered round (perhaps was carrying w/ one in chamber, but often carries with empty chamber and practices to rack).
Not a Glock expert. What is the Single/Double action behavior of the weapon?
Shoot a Sig, and with hammer down, it's Double-Action until either racked or a shot is fired to rack the slide, thus moving to a Single-Action trigger (with what, 4lb of force vs a 12lb force, can't recall from memory rn).
>(perhaps was carrying w/ one in chamber, but often carries with empty chamber and practices to rack).
There is also possibly a sound of racking the slide at the 35 second mark in the mp4 here: >>11022262
That would explain the first object on the ground, that looks like a possible round.
>anons someone needs to post this video here.
see this, posted as an mp4: >>11022262
45 sec long
Was posted prev bred and this anon reposted in this bred for convenience.
I believe in this shot, we can see the empty casing from the actual 'kill shot', and the unspent hollow-point falling downward, in the same frame.
What a fucking image if so!!!
Here are some image crops, all from the Getty sequence here: >>11021525 (PB)
^^these are key images^^ Need to go to Getty and see if EXIF data available, would have shot time, shutter speed, etc.
Read image descriptions.
First is the racked-unspent round falling, which the slide starts to rack, casing not ejected yet (but kill-shot likely already in body). That one image.
Now to the next image, after the slide racks. Look above the fence, and THERE is the spent casing from the kill-shot round .
Third image same, just cropped closer.
Fourth image is spit-balling, but almost appears the unspent hollowpoint round that was falling, is now below the weapon, but could just be a small object lying on grass in background.
>but could just be a small object lying on grass in background.
Looking closer at the first kill-shot frame (pic 1), think that object is there (count 3 diagonal fence links down, using looping thing on concrete as reference point), but obscured by the fencing wire.
In next photo frame (after slide is racked, and casing is shown in frame above fence), can see object in same place, but more clearly as it isn't being obscured by the actual wire of the fence.
So, where is the unspent "racked round"??
Would guess at this point, it has actually fallen behind the shooters hand/weapon thus being obscured and not present in the frame (otherwise would see it falling down lower).
>I got those from here
ty anon, checking out..
>>11022495 super helpful anon!
Let's pull in another getty image in addition to the 5 from PB (picture-id1279577458):
First the original.
Next a crop, showing the empty casing, falling downward, just above shooters right forearm.
Ok, there is an earlier (not sure earlier/later, see below) frame in Getty series:
1279577456
This was 2 frames earlier than the (..7458) frame (actually not sure of that, see below as digging this post).
In this one, the casing is a bit higher up between the forearm and fence.
The frame ID's are critical in all of this. Need to go back to the original sauce - ok, scratch that, the pic ID's are not the frame id's from the original camera, and are OUT OF SEQUENCE. Would have to piece together, get original details.
Regardless, this anon is satisfied that a round was fired, have at least 3 different frames showing the casing flying through the air and dropping back down.

Another video of the agitator there (BGM guy).
Also saw this, so he's a real regular:
> It's more of an academic question of why the first image looks that way.
Agree anon.
I first thought the was unspent round that had been rack (and could be, but the problem with that, is couldn't find it in other image frames, or on the ground later).
So, some sort of visual aberration that made it look like a hollow-point in the air. Dubious on that one now, but is possible, just unlikely.
>Is this from video? Or still camera motor drive? Please share source for maximum credibility.
>Sauce anon, sauce.
We don't know the camera, but yes, likely a high frame-rate pro-level camera. These were sourced from Getty, see anon's post here for the link:
>I got those from here:

anons sauce as well as possible in middle of ongoing dig, including with new info coming in.
Could always wait and "write a detailed report" the next day, but the problem is, then all sorts of wacky "theories" that are spitballed take hold, and that helps no one. So better to let it evolve real time, within a bred such as this.
Sold post anon. About what I actively figured out while posting away.
The 45sec video is key to all this, with timing and movements. The person shot heads straight toward the shooter, starts to back away (seeing the draw likely, it's out of frame in video), spray is deployed and shot fired in less than 1/2 second.
Crazy situation.
Great job bakes, ty.
Back to THIS. The priority, can't let other shit distract from keeping this Harris commie from getting into high office.
Awesome work anon!! tyvm!!
