CCTV footage obtained by 11Alive captured part of the altercation between Fisher and Steverson at the Marathon Fuel gas station. At 10:43pm, Fisher was seen talking to Steverson, who was in his black truck. The footage cuts to Steverson outside his vehicle and sitting on the hood of Fisher's patrol car. Seconds later, Fisher appeared to push Steverson back down onto the hood during the dispute.

The footage cuts again to another scene, this time of Fisher tackling Steverson to the ground. According to Steverson's family, Fisher allegedly pulled out his Taser and tased Steverson while his back was turned. They claimed Steverson also had his arm raised in surrender at the time the Taser was deployed before he was handcuffed. The footage, however, does not show Fisher's initial approach or an uninterrupted view of the entire confrontation.

The incident, however, seemingly left a mark on Steverson. Five days after their initial encounter, Fisher was reportedly sitting in his patrol car, parked in Meriwether Country Inn's parking lot after an unrelated traffic stop.

Steverson allegedly pulled up next to Fisher's patrol car before firing multiple shots directed at him at around 11:57pm on Sept. 1, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) said. Fisher was declared dead on the scene.

Death is a tradegy, violence a shame on a society. If Steverson wanted to be respected as a human being though, what else could he have done? You can't sue cops. They won't charge them. We've tried protesting to ask politicians to fix things like that. Here it is violence happening again, what is supposed to do otherwise? Is just be abused the answer people really expect people to say?

Maybe if we killed a cop every time they abused their power, they would restrain themselves a little

Cops are lucky that most people they fuck with have too much to lose.

An American hero. Fuck trying to smear this man in the headlines, I see what they are trying to do.

I hope they force the cops to admit they killed him in retaliation gangland-style.

Follow up thought: This is 100% connected to Flock/Axon. Might be interesting to figure out where in a given city you can travel without hitting publicly known cameras.
