Here's that bodycam footage. It certainly seems to align with witness statements that the cops did not give enough time for the man to comply, they did not deescalate at all nor did they use a less than lethal approach. Instead they shot Samuael Sharpe dead within seconds.
Given the sheer number of cops who were milling around looking for a riot to start it's hard to imagine why de-escalation was not attempted.
