6 California police officers responding to a call about a man slumped unresponsive in his car fired-off 55 shots at the man in 3.5 seconds, according to an independent use-of-force report that found the tactics 'reasonable.'
Employees at the Taco Bell called police for a welfare check after they found McCoy unresponsive in his silver Mercedes in the drive-thru.
McCoy then jerked up and appeared to reach down. Officers shouted,"Show me your hands!" and fired at him within a few seconds.In his 51-page report, Blake noted that he was provided with police reports, interviews given by the officers and the bodycam footage. The officers in their interviews said they were"scared" and fearful that McCoy was going to shoot at them.
City Attorney Claudia Quintana said the report is separate from an investigation by the Solano County District Attorney's Office into the shooting. But Melissa Nold, an attorney for McCoy's family, said Thursday that the report"continues the flawed belief that officers should be able to act on their irrational fear and unlawfully kill people."
