That primary twitter video. The timeline is roughly as follows:
Crowd walks past car.
Car honks.
Crowd turns back onto the car.
5 Large caliber rapports are heard.
The camera person runs for cover.
3 (maybe 4) Smaller caliber rapports are heard.
The replies to that video are some examples of real and serious ignorance and stupidity. You can HEAR the difference in the first set of shots and the second set, but the narrative is "This is Trump's America. The man just innocently approached a vehicle and was shot 3 times."
Even if you know nothing about firearms, you can fucking count. 8 =/= 3
Reason I ask is because I can find no video of muzzle flash and Austin PD, who have since released the driver said he shot first per the drivers account and that the second shots were another protestor.
You have the police statement? Last I saw was that local news said the police said that, however that's arguably less credible than our speculation here.
A cropped picture is linked below, couldn't find the source I saw this morning. Lot going on with the light so it's possible it wasn't him but the first shots in the audio going around were from a rifle and I believe the police did state that the driver only had a handgun.
yes
Source? Trying to wade through all the “he was pushing his disabled wife!!!!1!” Articles...

I don't have it on my clipboard for you but there's a pic of the muzzle flash if the clear audio and witnesses aren't enough.
