Unless that second video somehow shows that Flores was making a threatening gesture towards officers while standing still with his hands above his head, I'm not sure that's going to help the officer with a "justified shooting" defense.
Anyway, an investigation is underway and the FBI is already involved.
If that second video exonerates the police they would be wise to make it public ASAP. If not the HANDS UP DON'T SHOOT is going to be perpetuated in the publics mind. I'm guessing it raises as many questions about their conduct as it answers.
