I was walking back to the station after accidentally crashing my car. The crash had been triggered by a gunshot nearby, which startled me. In search of help, I approached three officers to ask for a ride back, but all of them refused. Left with no other option, I had to walk. As I continued, a man approached me and asked about my name tag on my uniform. I answered him, but then he stepped behind me and said, “Wait.” Given how close the gunshot had been, I wasn’t sure if he was armed, so I felt uneasy. After walking away and reassessing the situation, I realized it was just him. I asked him to turn around so I could search him. He complied, and I briefly took out my search tool. When I did, he said, "Wait," so I paused. Suddenly, he struck me, and I reacted by drawing my taser and telling him to put his hands up. For the next 20 seconds, he kept saying, "Wait, wait." Then, without warning, he lunged at me. In a state of fear, I fired my weapon. I immediately ran to him to provide medical assistance. After the incident, staff arrived and asked what had happened. The man I shot gave his version of events, and the staff took his word for it. Despite showing the video clip of the moment I shot him, they still decided to believe his account. I explained that I had pulled out the search tool, which was true, but the staff still chose to take his word without any supporting evidence from a clip. Since there were no witnesses and no clips from others, I believe I should be unbanned. In situations like this, a clip or credible witness is necessary to make a fair judgment, and since neither was provided. The ban should be removed as the staff took the man's word over my video, with no witnesses or extra evidence.
