The mistake he made was picking up the perp's gun. He should have set his own gun on the ground and put his hands in the air till the cops figured out what was happening. Shouldn't happen, but you can see how and why it did.

YEP, Why in the hell did he pick the gun up?? Pretty stupid, cops naturally thought HE was the BG. CHARLIE.

They didn't release footage of that, only spoke about it.  The video is part of an investigation and probably won't be released until it's done and the guy's family agrees to it.
