How they died

Deadly force

Dash cam video from a patrol unit shows Officer Matthew Jones trying to arrest Smith. Smith steps out of view. Officer Jones advances and reaches for a stun gun, then suddenly runs to the other side of the patrol unit. Smith walks into view, pointing a toy snub-nosed revolver at Officer Jones and convulsing as Officer Jones shoots him 11 times with a pistol. A grand jury that viewed the video no-billed Officer Jones.
