They say a picture is worth a thousand words. What of a video? One might watch the CCTV video footage of the fatal police shooting of Latoya Bulgin and be tempted to question the motive of the officer who pulled the trigger.

For context, Ms. Bulgin was a 45-year-old woman who was shot on Sunday by a police officer in Granville, St. James, near a planned protest in relation to the recent police shooting of a young man from the area. The CCTV video footage around the time of the incident shows Ms. Bulgin getting out of her minivan to speak face-to-face with the officer, before getting back in. The officer remains standing a few feet in front of Ms. Bulgin’s minivan, facing the vehicle. After a few moments, Ms. Bulgin’s minivan is seen moving off but only travels a distance of about two feet before the officer pulls out his weapon, points it at Ms. Bulgin and pulls the trigger.

Ms. Bulgin is now dead.
