Eric Harris died last week after Reserve Deputy Robert Bates, 73, mistakenly grabbed his service weapon — believing it was his Taser — and shot him as he attempted to assist with an arrest.
In the video released by police, a body-cam captures an officer in a foot pursuit of Harris who is subsequently tackled in the street. As the officer instructs Harris to roll onto his stomach, a gun shot is heard.
Officer Bates can be heard, saying, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry,” as Harris yells, “He shot me!’ while another officer is heard saying, “You f*cking ran.” Other officers continue the verbal abuse to Harris as he lays on the ground losing his last breaths.
The white blocks have been inserted by police as part of the released video.
