Watch as Sgt. David Darkow tries to explain how he witnessed John Crawford hold a BB gun with both hands, while his third hand held a cell phone to his ear. Sgt. Darkow's inability to properly assess the situation demonstrates how neither he nor fellow Officer Williams should be allowed to carry a deadly weapon.
Even after viewing the critical moment of the security video more than once, the clueless Sgt. Darkow remains oblivious to the cell phone held in the suspect's left hand.
15:38 "He [suspect] also has it in what I would refer to as a low ready type position where his left hand is on the fore grip of the rifle and his right hand is near the action portion of the rifle. (The security video shows this statement to be incorrect. John Crawford's left hand was holding a phone to his left ear.)
16:08 "...and he was more or less facing us at this point." (Less, really less. The security video shows John Crawford facing the shelving, not the officers.)
27:07 Darkow mentions another medical problem "completely unrelated" to the shooting. (It was very much related to the shooting.)
51:26 Darkow acknowledges that the gunfire may have gone over his verbal command when the suspect started to flee.
51:45 Darkow explains that after the suspect was startled, he began to dart away. This contradicts Officer Williams' statement that the suspect made an "aggressive stance". One or both of these officers are lying.
59:45 "I think he dropped the rifle after he was hit."
1:38:14 Darkow is shown the security video for the first time.
1:44:20 While observing Angela Williams in the video, Darkow observes "she sees something. She took... she had a real hard long look to him."
This is a false observation. Other security video shows she is separated from her children at the time of the gunfire. She gathers them quickly when fleeing. If she had observed a threatening man with a gun in the pet aisle, it is unlikely that she would have separated from her children, or even remained in the area.

Investigator: "The key thing is did anything [you just observed in the security video] trigger something more in your memory that changed anything?
Darkow: "Not necessarily. You know he does a lot of waving of the gun while he is apparently on the phone. The only thing I can tell you is when I came around the corner, I never saw any phone in his hand. He appeared to me to be holding the gun and I thought he had his right hand near the action part of the gun when I saw him."
He did have his right hand near the action part of the gun. The left hand of the suspect that was closest and in plain view of Darkow, held the phone to suspect's left ear. Darkow is incompetent.
1:54:00 The cunning investigator repeats the scenario to clarify Darkow's misunderstanding. The investigator motions that a cell phone held in the right hand could not be observed by the officers. Darkow agrees.
1:54:50 Darkow, again, asserts that he knew the left hand was on the gun. This defies logic. If the suspect had his left hand on the fore grip of the gun, the suspect would need another arm on the gun to support the bulk of it. Darkow's imagination leaves no way for the suspect to be holding a phone. But the video evidence shows Crawford holding the phone with his left hand.
1:55:50
Investigator: "When did you notice the phone?"
Darkow: "Never." Darkow says he does not learn of the phone until the next day.
1:57:00 "I don't know that it helps [to know] what his right hand was doing, you know? I mean I recall his right hand seeming like he was messing with the rifle of some kind. Of course we have reports that he was possibly loading the rifle. Um. It appears as though he had a phone in his right hand based on the video. But I can tell you when I rounded the corner it looked like he was messing with the rifle. It looked like he was doing something with his right hand. But I couldn't see as well as I could his left hand."
The video evidence shows the phone in the suspect's left hand. If Darkow was competent, he would have seen the phone and reported it, instead of making up this BS.
