“The video was horrific,” the chief told CNN’s Brianna Keilar. “There is no question in anybody’s mind looking at that video that the shooting is not justified.”released by the San Antonio Police Department shows probationary police officer James Brennand fire multiple rounds into a vehicle where Cantu and his 17-year-old female friend were eating after the officer said he recognized the vehicle as the same one that “fled from [him] the other day.

“We have a policy that prohibits officers from shooting at vehicles, moving vehicles, except if their life is in immediate, their life or someone else’s life is in immediate danger,” McManus said. So far, no charges have been filed against Brennand but McManus expects that to change possibly by the end of the weekIf Cantu succumbs to his injuries, which currently“I don’t know what the exact charge would be, though, at this point,” he said.
