The Long Beach Police Department released new body camera footage Saturday of a police shooting outside of a church that left a man dead.
Boyd eventually showed his hands, according to the bodycam video, but when asked if he had a gun, he repeatedly refused to answer, police said."You guys are only doing your job ... I'm not messing with none of ya'll," he added."Whatever you're thinking about doing, it's not worth it okay?" the officer said, "It's not worth it."
"Based on the fact that Boyd was believed to be armed with a handgun in public and not cooperating with officers on scene, SWAT resources were activated and responded to the scene," said police. Boyd's family, alongside the Black Lives Matter group of Long Beach, held a press conference, demanding accountability,
"After they gunned Brandon down in front of me, the police turned their violence on me, my sister and my niece. We were begging them to stop, but instead of showing us a shred of humanity, they brutalized us," the sister said.
