New video shows Milwaukee police officer clinging to side of tow truck before fatally shooting driver

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- We have new police body camera video showing a critical incident from March 12, when a Milwaukee Police Department officer clung to a speeding tow truck before shooting the driver in the head, killing him. 

The incident has been divisive from nearly the moment it happened; many people say 35-year-old Jonathan Otto should have obeyed the officer's commands and stopped driving while others believe the officer could have gotten off the truck and deescalated the situation. 

The video starts with the officer walking up to Otto's tow truck to contact him in connection with a parole violation. 

Otto starts the truck and begins to drive away, the officer jumps on the running board and grabs onto Otto's sleeve. 

Otto's girlfriend is in the passenger seat throughout the incident. She can be heard screaming repeatedly for the officer to get off the truck. 

Otto's girlfriend told CBS 58 shortly after the shooting that Otto said nothing throughout. 

She said Otto slowed several times. She believes it was to give the officer a chance to get off the truck. 

The officer can be heard on the video ordering Otto to stop the truck at least 15 times. He told Otto to get out of the truck at least five times, and he warned Otto at least twice he would shoot him. 

The officer involved is a 46-year-old man with over 21 years of service. He was taken to an area hospital for treatment of non-fatal injuries and placed on administrative leave as is routine in police shootings.

Watch the full body camera video below. Note CBS 58 has stopped the video before the officer shoots Otto.
