Phenix City, AL – The entire dash cam footage was just released showing officer Allan Brown firing eleven shots into a vehicle — pausing only to reload — and fire another ten shots into the vehicle as the teens can be heard begging for their lives. While a snippet of the video was released in May, the entire video, obtained by the Ledger-Enquirer, is disturbing, to say the least. Christian Redwine, 17, was killed in the shooting and passengers Hunter Tillis and Hanna Wuenschel, two other teens, suffered non-fatal gunshot wounds. It was the first volley, of the 21 total bullets, that struck Redwine in the head and heart that ended his young life, according to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences. Brown claimed that Redwine tried to use the car to run him over, which caused him fear for his life, and prompted the fatal shots. An attorney representing Wuenschel said Redwine was trying only to back out of a hole. The attorney said Redwine was shot seven times, Wuenschel two or three times, and Tillis at least twice, according to the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer. Despite the clearly desperate pleas of mercy from the teens, as Brown unloaded two magazines into their vehicle, a Russell County grand jury found that Brown committed no criminal wrongdoing in the November 6 incident. Brown can be seen on dash cam video trailing two other police cars also in pursuit of Christian Redwine after reports of a stolen vehicle in Columbus. Brown can be heard telling the other officers to “let me come around you.” He then narrates that speeds are approaching 100 miles per hour. “Dispatch speeds are 98 mph.” Only two minutes later, Brown again can be heard narrating the speed to dispatch as the Pontiac G-6 he is pursuing appears headed for the highway. “Advise, speed 107 miles an hour.” As the teens attempt to take an exit at high speeds, Redwine loses control of the vehicle. “We’re gonna be on Riverchase Road dispatch. He has wrecked out. Wrecked out. He is spinning. Start uh rescue,” Brown reports to dispatch. With the wheels of the vehicle now spinning in reverse, Brown, who is now on foot, fires his weapon 11 times. The passengers can be heard pleading for the officer to stop firing. Brown, instead, paused only to reload his weapon and fire 10 more times. After shooting all three individuals, we can here Brown yelling at the unarmed teens to “get down on the fucking ground or I will fucking shoot you.” Wuenschel’s cries continue, repeating “Oh my God!” and “Oh my God, sir, please call me an ambulance! Please!” For several moments after the shooting, the teens are heard crying and begging for help. By the time Brown had unloaded two magazines, Christian Redwine, 17, was dead, and the two others had both suffered gunshot wounds. In fact, a later investigation would reveal that all three teens had been shot in the initial barrage of gunfire. According to the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, the incident began when: Columbus police said Redwine aroused suspicion when officers saw the Pontiac cruising around closed businesses around 4:30 a.m. near Columbus State University’s main campus on University Avenue. Checking the tag, they learned the car had been reported stolen by Fred Levins, a friend of Redwine’s grandmother who considered himself to be like a grandfather to the teen. Around 3:30 a.m. on Nov. 6, Levins noticed it was missing along with his car keys. When police tried to stop the car, Redwine sped away, initiating a chase that continued into downtown Columbus and crossed the 13th Street bridge into Alabama, where Phenix City police joined the pursuit. A WLTZ First News investigation revealed Brown was fresh off a suspension for violating pursuit policy last year when this deadly incident took place. The Russell County Grand Jury cleared Brown of any criminal wrongdoing in May, and days later he submitted his resignation effective immediately. According to the Ledger-Enquirer: Russell County District Attorney Ken Davis said Brown waived his rights and volunteered to testify before the 18-member grand jury, which spent two days reviewing the evidence. Prosecutors did not recommend charges, but asked the grand jurors to determine whether the shooting was justified, Davis said. Among other witnesses testifying were two more Columbus officers experienced in the department’s training and procedures, and an Alabama Bureau of Investigation agent who probed the shooting, Davis said. In other words, they brought in a bunch of police apologist “experts” to justify and propagandize the jury into believing that unloading an entire magazine into a car full of teens, then pausing to reload and drop another ten shots as they beg for their lives, was justified. Perhaps had this officer taken the same training as the Salt Lake City Police Department, which emphasizes de-escalation, and has resulted in them not killing anyone since 2015, these type of incidents would not be accepted and protected as “just doing my job.” Poster Comment: Watch the video - the cop was in no danger whatsoever. He was off to the side of the vehicle, not behind it when he fires on the kids. A WLTZ First News investigation revealed Brown was fresh off a suspension for violating pursuit policy last year when this deadly incident took place. What a surprise! The entire dash cam was just released showing a cop kill one unarmed teen and wound two others. They begged for their lives as he reloaded and fired again.
“No, stop! Please! I got shot!
Please! Please! ”
“Oh my God I‘m shot! My God. Please no. Please! Please!”

Another wannabee gangsta put down. The moral of the story is don't steal and when caught don't run! Once the cop is pissed off he probably gun'na kill you!
