Birmingham police are reviewing an incident in which an officer shot a suspect on a street in East Lake after dash cam video released this week shows the situation isn’t exactly as police reported.  The two officers involved say the man pointed a gun at them prompting one to shoot.  That officer, Daniel Aguirre, received a departmental award for his actions.  The man, Aubrey Williams, survived but faces attempted murder charges.  His attorney says the video shows he did not point a gun at the officers.  We talk about the situation with Alabama Media Group columnist John Archibald.  He also talks about a second mistrial in the case of a Madison police officer accused of using excessive force against an Indian man.
