PHOENIX — What does the firing officer's body camera actually record? This edit preserves the original-speed excerpt and excludes the agency's later slow-motion replay. Phoenix Police says the wanted man pointed a gun at an officer twice and officers fired when he raised it the second time. After the shots, the recording captures: "Shots fired. He is down." Voss finding: bodycam is not eye-tracking. A serious review must align officer position, line of sight, weapon orientation, cover and each shot against the moment-specific federal standards in Graham v. Connor and Tennessee v. Garner. The investigation is ongoing; no legal or policy conclusion has been made. Source captions checked against the published video.
