An attorney for the family of John Crawford III, the man fatally shot by police in an Ohio Walmart store, says surveillance video contradicts the police department's version of events. Officers say Crawford refused to drop the pellet gun he was holding, but the video allegedly shows themgunning him down "on sight."

Crawford, 22, was shopping at the Beavercreek, Ohio store on Aug. 5 when police responded to another customer's report that Crawford was carrying an AR-15 rifle. He was actually holding a pellet air rifle he had just picked up from a shelf in the store's toy department.

Attorney Michael Wright says he viewed surveillance video that shows Crawford was facing away from the cops and talking to his girlfriend on the phone when police spotted him, and didn't have the toy gun raised. He told WDTN Crawford probably didn't see or hear the officers before he was shot.


"John was doing nothing wrong in Walmart, nothing more, nothing less than shopping," Wright said, according to Reuters.

Police audio and dashcam video, which show how the police responded, but don't provide a visual of the actual shooting, have been released. Police also made availableaudio of a 911 call from a witness, ex-Marine Ronald Ritchie, who said he saw a man "walking around with a gun in the store" and pointing it at two children.

Ritchie claimed the gun was a black rifle, and said "he's loading it right now." Later in the call, he wasn't so sure, saying, "He looked like he was trying to load it, I don't know."

Ohio attorney general Mike DeWine says the video of Crawford's death, viewed by attorneys and his family, won't be made public.

Hamilton County prosecutors willtake Crawford's case to a grand jurySept. 22. One of the Beavercreek police officers who shot him is on administrative leave; the other has been allowed to return to duty.

COME ON LETS THIS THIS MAN JUSTICE. IM FREAKING FIRED UP OVER THIS!

A liar can use race as a demonic prank to get someone killed. The 911 caller needs to be subpoenaed and put up on charges as well and the police need to be charged for not following basic procedure.

If im a lawyer im asking the cop *so do you think that anytime you get dispatched to a call you should take the word of the caller as to the threat the suspect poses and shoot first then ask questions*

This is so satanic and sickening but it really shows how racism sadly has penetrated each level of society. The caller and the cops are in on it.
