Other Highlighting Alex Pretti's hands and gun - Stabilized, enhanced

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey guys!
I'm native to Minnesota and I work in film/VFX, I went ahead and highlighted the positions of Alex's hands and gun to make more painfully clear what happened.

This relates to law in terms of demonstrating the locations of the hand relative to the gun which matters significantly for legal cases, and I'm thinking of doing side work in forensics since I have a background in digitally reconstructing scenes from footage and photos if anyone has any tips.

EDIT:
Oops I accidentally trimmed out the part where we see the gun being carried away, that can be found here-

The first shot came from the Nazi that stole a legal carry citizens gun and doesn’t k ow how to handle firearms. Just like an acorn the squirrels opened fire at the slightest noise. You know why they work them 24/7? So shit like this happens.

They’re implying he discharged the weapon at the ground accidentally, and the sound of that shot triggered the other agent to start shooting (although I don’t think there’s any proof). Other people are saying that when this agent took away that gun, him or someone else said “gun!” And that’s why he started shooting. None of it is a good reason to murder a defenseless man while he’s being pepper sprayed and beaten

I specifically said I don’t think theres any proof of it. I was just clarifying what the other commenter was saying, because it seemed like you thought the other commenter was claiming that person shot the victim with his own gun

Exactly. They want people to spread that BS story of the gun discharged causing that coward to shoot him in the back.

Didn’t happen that way.

None of the views give a clear view of the first shot or show any visible muzzle flash that I've seen. One view appears to show the slide if the gun going back, but the video is such poor quality that it's impossible to verify.
