Murder of unarmed man in the USA

County commissioners in the San Antonio area on Tuesday approved funds for additional body cameras for sheriff’s deputies, a move that comes hours after the release of a video showing two deputies appearing to fatally shoot a man who had his hands up in the air.

Bexar County Commissioners also asked the sheriff’s department to review the department’s “use of force” policy following the release of the cell phone video shown on local TV that shows Gilbert Flores, 41, being fatally shot in an incident on Friday with two deputies.

Bexar County deputies had been called to a domestic disturbance in an upscale neighborhood last Friday. They encountered a woman and a three-week-old old baby who had been injured, and also found Flores, 41, who police said in a report was “armed.”

The video recorded by a neighbor about a block away and aired on station KSAT-TV appeared to show Flores raising his arms as if surrendering before being shot.
