Another fatal shooting by a cop even as the victim held his hands up is being investigated. The incident took place on Dec. 30, 2014 in South New Jersey. A dashcam video of that night was released by the Bridgeton Police Department in New Jersey, which many say is evidence of the shooting officers' abuse of power and excessive use of force.

The video shows two police officers, Braheme Days and Roger Worley, pulling over a blue Jaguar for running a stop sign. The situation quickly turned tense, however, when one of the officers said he saw a gun in the glove compartment. Jerame Reid, the passenger, was killed when he exited the vehicle with his hands up after the officers told him to remain inside.

Leroy Tutt, the driver of the vehicle, was not injured in the shootout. Reports indicate that he was brought in for questioning about the incident, but was released without any charges.

Both officers involved are currently on paid leave while the investigation of what happened that night is underway.

Because it comes on the heels of the Ferguson and Staten Island police shootings, some would like to play up the race issue in this incident (Days is black; Worley is white; both the driver and passenger of the Jaguar are black). However, it appears that race is not an element in the case or a factor in the community's anger at the incident.

Although there are many questions that still need to be resolved, many who watched the dashcam video say that it is clear that the officers used excessive force when they shot the victim.

Nine rounds were fired during the shootout. One of them came from the fire arm of Worley.

The video shows that the officers drew their weapons when they saw a silver gun in the glove compartment of the car. They repeatedly told the occupants of the vehicle not to reach for the gun and to keep their hands in sight.

According to the audio transcript of the video, it seems that the driver put his hands up immediately while Reid hesitated. The victim could also be heard saying over and over again that he was not reaching for any weapon and that he was going to get out of the car and get on the ground.

The officers told him to remain in the vehicle, but Reid still got out, keeping his hands on his chest, and was fired at.

"The video speaks for itself that at no point was Jerame Reid a threat and he possessed no weapon on his person. He complied with the officer and the officer shot him," Walter Hudson, chairman and founder of the National Awareness Alliance, a civil rights group, said.

Investigators have since learned that Days knew Reid. In the video, he even called Reid by his first name because he was one of the arresting officers in August, at the same intersection, when Reid was charged with possession, obstruction and resisting arrest.

In the past, Days had also faced complaints of abuse of power. All cases against him were dismissed.
