What order was he disobeying? They pepper sprayed him and dragged him to the flor, he didn't have a gun in his hands, no danger at all, so why shoot him? He wasn't grabbing anything, you see his hands are free in the video.

Before they dragged him to the ground, back to the street? Before they hit him in the head? What should have he done to prevent being shot?
