RG:  "Kerns said at the time that a police vehicle equipped with an in-car video system captured audio of the shooting, and that it was his understanding that police “can be heard shouting professionally” for Rodriguez to drop his weapon before any shots were fired."   -  where's the video.  even dark, it should be there.  i think considering the time of night, lights and sirens would not be used.  i would also think after serving in the military , mr rodriguez would know to not have a weapon on him when the police arrived - cops are trained to go to another level when a weapon is present - as is the military.  but regardless, he sure shouldn't have gotten shot. in no way and am glad he is a young man and healed as well as he has.  i'm sure his mental state is not  healed.  were the cops just shooting into the dark while not being able to see into it?  
    cops sure shoot a lot of innocent people.  they must detest the cameras they wear as everything they do is open to second guessing
