Pair of Colorado Springs police officers will not face charges in connection with fatal shooting of black man in August.
The decision was announced by Fourth Judicial District Attorney Dan May, who said that body camera footage of the incident provided"the best view of an officer-involved shooting" he had ever seen, Colorado Springs ABC affiliate KRDO reported.
The footage shows Bailey and another man with their hands up, as officers tell them they have a report of people matching their description with a gun. Officers inform the men that they are going to check them for weapons. Bailey then flees and appears to reach for his waistband, before officers fire on him.
Bailey’s death prompted peaceful protests Colorado Springs, and his family called for an independent investigation into his death. "It is certainly not a surprise when a tainted investigation is presented by a biased prosecutor," Bailey family attorney Mari Newman said after the announcement."This is the exact reason why we have called for an independent investigation and an independent prosecution."
