"I don't think anyone's handled this well," attorney Mike Lieberman told ABC 7 News on Monday. "Where is the justice? When is there going to be justice?"
Fairfax County released more than 11,000 pages of documents on the shooting Friday night under court order 17 months after the shooting. The records revealed John Greer told police he didn't want to die that day after a domestic dispute at his Springfield home.
"I don't want anybody to get shot," Greer told police during the standoff. "And I don't wanna get shot, 'cause I don't want to die today."
According to the records, one officer was talking to Greer, trying to ease him through the standoff when Officer Adam Torres shot and killed Greer from 17 feet away. Torres told investigators he saw Greer move his hands to his waist and thought he might be reaching for a weapon.

Adam Torres[I'm not even going to acknowledge 'Officer'] is clearly 'not qualified for police service'.
"Torres told investigators he...thought he might be reaching for a weapon."
He freely admits that he didn't 'identify a weapon'.., a major error and protocol breech. Clearly the Fairfax county PD and Torres are at fault in this deadly act. And, need to be held accountable.
Justice will come at the end of gun and not until then.
So why aren't the white people out protesting, burning down everything in sight.
11:47 Why hasn't a sniper blown that cops head off to avenge his murderous actions? (as well as the other cop that taught him he is so special)
remember this cop statement ----
"99% of all shootings by police are justified".
They ALWAYS fail to include the whole sentence, which ends in "by the police".
ANY cop who says I had to kill a unarmed civilian because I was afraid should go to jail.
YOU or I don't get to kill people because we were "afraid". With great authority comes great responsibility. A point lost on today's crop of Gestapo sissies.
