I don't think the chief's identification of the "gun" in the freeze frame is really beyond a reasonable doubt. I'd be fine with it if we could see the bodycam after the shooting, showing the cop going up to the kid and the gun next to him. Since if he was holding it while running, where else would it be other than roughly in the same place as that random patch of pixels?
