ANTIOCH, Calif. (KRON) -- A man shot multiple times by Antioch police officers earlier this month during a foot chase disputes police accounts that he pointed a gun at them. Newly surfaced video that may strengthen the defendant's claim.A bystander who filmed the cellphone video recently shared it with 30-year-old Daniel Mackin's family. Mackin's civil rights attorney Melissa Nold says the person passed it along to help with his defense after reading the Antioch Police Department's reasoning for the shooting on Oct. 1."I think the concern is always going to be the transparency and accountability. If the police are saying that they shot somebody almost 10 times because of something they did, they need to be able to show that that actually happened. It appears that they're, at least, at minimum, misleading the public as the full details of what happens here," said Nold. Who is pilot Joseph Emerson?
