It's like when black guys are shot in the US when "reaching for a gun", and the CCTV footage "seems to imply" they did nothing of the sort.
In defense of the cops: cops, possibly already a bit nervous, because, you know ... multicultural neighborhood and availability of guns and all that ... have about half a second to decide whether "reaching for a gun" is taking place.
Here one has a few minutes to decide whether "no vacant seats" is taking place.
