Hawaii police have released body cam footage from the officers who responded to a 911 call that ended in the death of SA rugby player, Lindani Myeni

Officers then ask where he is and order him to get on the ground. A scuffle ensues and a shot is fired, followed by more shouting and three more shots. One of the officers then shouts"police". In footage from another cop's body cam, the officer can be heard shouting for a taser.It is unclear if an actual robbery took place but police have come under fire for their behaviour during the ordeal.

Hawaii News Now reported that in a news conference Friday afternoon, acting deputy Chief Allan Nagata vigorously defended the officers and said they did everything right. "They told him to get on the ground and comply. They were in uniform and gave clear instructions. Although it’s dark, it’s pretty clear. As an officer with 30 years experience ... I’m glad they survived. They did very well and they were very brave," he said.Meanwhile, Myeni's wife has taken to social media to ask questions about her husband's death.

"They shot my kind. I was with him at 7:30p. He went for a drive to clear his mind after a fun family day. His green card interview was next week. I called and he said he was on his way home at 7:52p. By 8:10p cops had shot him four times. How can you justify that?!" she posted. "What happened in 18 MINUTES?? What do I tell my babies when they cry for him???? He has my heart. I will never find a perfect love like him. He was indescribable. He’d grown into a noble man. Righteous but not self-righteous. Loving and wise. He was too good for this broken world. He was born at Queen Nandi hospital and passed at Queen Emma’s hospital. We need justice. They must release the body cams and show us what happened.

I suspect intoxication on the victim's side, as the wife has mentioned they had a family fun day earlier. This could have been avoided. May his soul find peace.

This guy seems out of it, what was he doing there?
