Claims by an off-duty cop in his car who shot a black motorist during a road rage confrontation appear to have been undermined by newly emerged fresh video in the case.
Officer Wayne Isaacs claimed that motorist Delrawn Small approached him in his car and punched him at least 3 times, forcing the officer to shoot Mr Small multiple times in self defense.

However, newly-released security video shows Mr Small coming up to the driver's side window but almost immediately recoiling from the effects of gunshots.

The camera angle doesn't permit seeing any punches, but the immediateness of Mr Small's recoiling makes it unlikely that he could have thrown multiple punches, or even a single punch for that matter, IMHO.

Surveillance video shows an angry motorist “punching the s–t” out of an off-duty cop through a car window before the officer fatally shot him, the owner of a nearby building said Wednesday.

The video appears to undermine an earlier police report asserting that the New York City police officer, Wayne Isaacs, was punched in the head through his driver’s-side window by Delrawn Small, leading Isaacs to fire three shots from his service weapon, hitting Small in the head and chest, according to the New York Post.
The graphic video does show Small getting shot as he approaches a 2002 Nissan Altima. The video, though somewhat blurred, does not appear to show Small punching Isaacs.
