Yesterday, the Alabama University PD admitted that Officer Austin WAS carrying pepper spray and a baton during the confrontation with student Gilbert Collar.
The security video of the incident was shown to the Collar family, their reps and media this week (not for public release). The Collar family and their attorney (former Alabama Lt. Governor Beasley) are claiming that the shooting was unjustified because Collar never made a move for the officer's weapon, never touched the officer, and could have been seeking help from the police. Student protests were held on campus this week.
The toxicology report has not yet been completed.
