The problem with that Spike is that it's essentially a "He said - Dead said" argument.
Unless the 2nd angle video can confirm that Sterling was attempting to reach for a weapon it would be very difficult to deter either side from their pre-determined opinion. The BLM side will undoubtedly cry "bullshit" and the ALM side is going to say "Completely Justified". With no definitive proof, you've got a pointless argument that does nothing but deepen the divide. In fact it merely comes off as the police attorney's attempt to get the police off. If I were their lawyer that's the case I'd make and they'll probably win it too. That will only cause MORE problems.
Sad, but true.
