fusion reaction(Wait. Isn't the sun one big fusion explosion anyway?)
After the shooting on Saturday, Mr. Scott’s older brother, Anthony Scott, 52, went to the crime scene. He stood taking pictures of his brother’s covered body with his phone when police officers and detectives approached. Three of them surrounded him, telling him to turn over his phone, he said.
“So, are you going to kill me, too, now?” Mr. Scott said he asked them.
He eventually handed them his phone. Hours later, Chief Driggers arrived, returned Mr. Scott’s phone and offered his condolences.
“The chief was very kind, very kind,” Mr. Scott said. “He was very gentlemanly, very different from the way everyone else was acting. Everyone else — it was eerie how they were acting. They were cocky.”

Only particularly interesting tidbit:
Taking the phone/pics from the brother is another troubling thing - about the whole department.
Question: doesn't Murder have to be pre-meditated? Or would manslaughter be the more appropriate charge in this situation?
Hate to break it to you, T but cops all over this nation make a habit of seizing phones that people use to document their actions.
Am I the only one that finds it disturbing that the brother is standing there taking pics of his dead brother.
I don't know. Personally, I have a hard time "judging" how someone processes their grief - especially under particularly tragic circumstances. Have experienced enough of it, and among family members and friends, and seen people I know, respect, and love deal with things in ways that I'm not comfortable with, that as long as their not endangering themselves or others, I think its better to just let them sort it out.
The brother seems to have a really good head about things. Perhaps he will try to leverage the tragedy into achieving some greater good, and wanted to do something to absolutely ingrain what happened. He could become an effective advocate for change.
Yeah, but kinda like watching someone run a red light, it surprises me every time. :/

Something that just jumped out at me - is it right that this stop just happened this past Saturday? They went from shooting to murder in... 3 days? That's wild, to me. That suggests they had the video pretty soon after it happened. If they didn't... then there was some other compelling evidence that the investigators found pretty f'n quick!
It also kinda seems like a knee-jerk reaction. Wonder if even his supervisors were pissed about how the whole thing went down.
Sure I do. How many of the federal employees pay any attention or actually learn anything from the (apparently) needless training? We endure more than our fair share of worthless training already. Someone who sees no value in human life should probably be weeded out long before they would be attending training as a police officer.
If they did that you wouldn't have posted it here. So, now we get to go in circles about whose race baiting and who are racists.
