As O'Neal is bleeding in a yard, one officer who opened fire laments he'll now be forced on desk duty, required under the Chicago Police policy after police-involved shooting. "[I'll be] on the desk for 30 goddamn days now," the officer says on the body cam video.
The videos show two of the officers that fired shots had very different reactions in the aftermath of the shooting. In one video (Bodycam Video #1), the officer who complains about desk duty tells other officers, "I shot at the car after it almost hit you." He later tells another officer, "he almost hit my partner, I f---ing shot at him."
The other officer who fired shots (which were not captured live on a body cam), is heard panicking following the shooting. Other officers ask how many shots he fired ("about five") and tell him to relax.
"Man this is so f----d up," he said. "I don't want nothing to happen to that f-----g guy, dude. The way shit's going, I'm going to be f-----g crucified. ... I pray to God nothing happens to him."
Oppenheimer said the conversations following the shooting were telling: "One officer says, 'Why'd you shoot?' He never shot, he never had a gun, there was no reason to believe that he was shooting."
