New body camera footage has been released in the Kohen Wiley case, and in my opinion, this footage raises even more serious questions about Officer Hunter Foster use of force.
This is NOT the same body camera footage released two days ago. This newly released footage is from Officer Hunter Foster himself, and it shows him drawing his weapon while running toward the vehicle occupied by Kohen Wiley as the vehicle is reversing.
Officer Hunter Foster fires three shots. In my opinion, the first and second shots require further independent investigation. However, I believe the third shot, which appears to have been fired from the side of the vehicle, raises particularly serious questions about whether the use of force was legally justified.
Under U.S. Supreme Court precedent, each use of force from an officer must be evaluated based on the circumstances at the moment it occurs. A moving vehicle can present a deadly threat, but that does not automatically justify firing at it, particularly if the immediate threat has passed.
In my opinion, this new footage strengthens the case for criminal charges against Officer Hunter Foster. I believe he should be arrested, formally charged, and required to answer for his actions in court.
There have also been reports suggesting that Officer Hunter Foster has resigned. However, an official resignation letter has not been made public, and we are reserving that announcement until we receive official confirmation.
I also believe that resignation alone is not enough. If Officer Hunter Foster simply resigns, there is a possibility he could seek employment with another law enforcement agency. In my opinion, he should be terminated and held accountable through the criminal justice system.
Weāre going to watch this newly released body camera footage together, examine all three shots, and discuss why I believe this case demands immediate accountability and an independent investigation.
I would also like to remind everyone that earlier this week, Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch officially determined that Officer Hunter Fosterās use of force in the shooting of Kohen Wiley was justified and declined to pursue criminal charges. This decision was announced before the full body camera footage was publicly released, and in my opinion, the newly released evidence raises serious questions about that determination.
