He allegedly drew a gun with 6 cops already piled on him and one hand already handcuffed

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/08/04/five-cops-held-down-tyjuan-hill-a-sixth-shot-him-in-the-back-of-the-head.html

He was running away when police tried to arrest him for a non-violent crime.

A toxicology report later determined that Hill had no drugs or alcohol in his system. And yet the cops would have you believe Hill had the super human strength to fight off these five cops who sprayed him two or three times with pepper spray.”

Then as Hill lay prone, blinded, face down in the gutter, with five cops on top of him -- two of whom would later admit in depositions could bench press more than 300 pounds – police say they could only get a handcuff on one wrist.

“We’re talking about 1,000 pounds of human weight, trained professional policemen, on top of a 140-pound guy,” Smallman said.

“And then here comes Sgt. Quigley,” said Colihan, pointing to the corner. “He’s a sixth cop who jumps out of the original silver car on W. 9th and Hamilton. He said he runs over and straddles Hill, sitting on his lower back.”

Colihan asks, “And we are supposed to believe, and the city thinks a jury will believe, that somehow this 140 pound guy raises 1200 pounds of policemen, with a dozen trained hands trying to cuff him, and manages to raise himself up to his knees, reach into his waistband, pull out a .9mm Kel Tech pistol, and somehow point it over his left shoulder ay Sgt. Quigley?”


...

Smallman points to the curb where a police forensic photographer would later photograph the .9 mm Kel Tech Hill allegedly carried and attempted to use that night.

“How the gun wound up on the curb if Hill was face down in the gutter no one can answer,” said Smallman. “We will strongly contest that there is any credible evidence that this was even Hill’s gun. Plus there was no bullet racked into the chamber so that even if Hill was aiming the gun he could not have fired a bullet without racking the slide which would have required a second free hand.
