According to a news report surveillance camera

11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Said it was off

but it's weird If you run a business

surveillance camera shooting I usually do it at night

isn't it?

So go to Subway

I took pictures around it

outside the subway building I had a camera

i will come back later

I wonder what happened

very important

but i work in the store a person contacted me

I got a call from the police department

Come to the lobby of the police department building

He took the video so i went

Alderman at the store I was about to leave

and straight away he got shot

He was startled and speechless.

I was crouched under the door

almost like kneeling

But you're shooting

He didn't get any help.

through broken glass

on the concrete floor in front of the store I lay down

like it's trash

i've never seen the video

I only saw clips on the news

my son as if he had to

showed me

I can't see that video

the surveillance camera footage Do you remember securing

revealed there

what the police said Jason's weapon

It was a 'tire jack'.

Jason didn't have a gun

He was a black BMW tire jack

Because cops were like guns

He thought he had a weapon

in his hand he saw something

When he saw me in the distance I didn't know what it was at the time

"Former San Bernardino Police Chief Jarod Burguan"

before the opponent shoots

how fast does he shoot this is the problem

at the time he Did you think you were holding a gun?

Yes, that's right

Frankly, many cops

I would have seen it as a weapon

but if he was behind he can buy some time

buy some time

You can use a good strategy

But the problem is

He can't back down already

what decision to make

If time and space are not enough

come to mind

the first risk have to deal with

in my opinion the weapon is facing the door

Take it and go out the door It was concluded that

When you hear gunshots

i think it's ridiculous Because it's true

As you can see by watching the whole video

tire jack never turned upwards

I'm still right next to Jason.

he's just holding

It's not like pointing a gun.

He's not facing anyone

"The Guardian investigative reporter Oliver Lapland"

this is the same pattern

shoot first I'll ask you later

have a different perspective

if you don't see the case It's the same until then

I've always heard news like this

The de la rose case

I checked everything

and bad cops I thought there was

How many bad cops

But the piled up things peel off each

As I put the puzzle pieces together

some bad cops I saw more

received by the police officers

Even if you ask about punishment

I can't give you an answer

If it is judged that it was a rightful act

Police officers return to work

even if someone is punished

what kind of punishment was It's hard to know

'Cause it's all done in secret

even in three cases

bad luck you might think

But again like this can think

Lack of training persists there is no punishment

I'd say it was the right thing to do...

After exchanging phone numbers

With the Ramirez case not related

wasn't there 'Cause I've never met

about anyone other than me

for years

I had a job dealing with informants.

sometimes they was also arrested

instead of being prosecuted

I want to be forgiven for my sins I did my duty

I honestly believe

son in the situation I was trying to get away

'Leave me alone! I'm going to live my life!' like this

"Police Officer Larry Esparsa testimony transcript"

he was reluctant to sign

his fingerprints he didn't want to leave

Larry Esparza

as an informant I saw Jorge's potential

With a rising star detective at the time

I made a secret lunch appointment

the detective It was Patrick Lamar.

my former partner Patrick Maraga

meet Ramirez I know you know

patrick to me he said he knew him

Patrick was a tough guy

he had no fear

He was a bold friend

Detective Mara with Ramirez I have handled several cases related to

All cases are reported by informants said it was processed

and always an informant the fact that it exists

I tried to understand

No information leaking out

to Ramirez I tried to give you trust

at the end of the encounter Ramirez admitted

Detective Mara I feel comfortable

"Corona Beer"

Detective Patrick Mara set up a strategy

Jorge's appearance in court delay one

the value of his information give you a chance to prove

to Ramirez I had a scheduled court appearance

That was the lever used

the information they want to get

Patrick Lamar is In the plans related to Jorge

nothing came out claim

But after meeting him

Jorge at the time person of interest

was the most wanted

Justin Hager's whereabouts I thought I could provide

If so, chief How did Ramirez die?

As far as we know He wasn't even armed

Was he accidentally shot?

I think in this case What matters is

Ramirez in the position that there was

we have a gun fired Responded to light and sound

At the same time, a counterattack began

so at that time

That Ramirez was shot I mean it was possible

That night as a secret informant he was not registered

He acted like a secret informant

He has provided information to the same police

that he would be killed he wouldn't have thought

"Bakersfield Police Monument"

Sources like you and me is only human

we have to protect them

This lack of checks and balances I can go back

"Bakersfield Police Department Headquarters"

by the decision they made

failed miserably

what we want It's justice

i want the truth

The police revealed the truth of that night

I'm waiting for you to talk

There are so many distorted things

what is the real truth where did it start

I never know
