The Valley 10-8 Special: The Diaz Shooting. What the Bodycam Actually Shows

A father tackles a gunman who just fired dozens of rounds into his house. He disarms him. He pins him to the ground. His family calls 911 screaming "we got him." And then a Phoenix police officer shoots him through his own front door.

The bodycam is out. The 911 audio is out. The doorbell footage is out. And the internet has already decided this is simple. It's not.

This episode breaks down the dispatch failure, the split-second decision, why the calls to arrest Officer Valenzuela don't survive contact with actual law, why Arizona is charging the home invader with the murder a cop committed, and what every officer and dispatcher in this state should be asking right now. No cop worship. No cop bashing. Just the part nobody wants to deal with. The middle.
