TOLEDO, OH (WTVG)—A never-before-seen police dash cam video was shown in court today in the trial of an Ottawa Hills police officer accused of shooting and paralyzing a man during a traffic stop.

  

The video shows Officer Thomas White following Michael McCloskey and his friends on their Harley-Davidson Motorcycles. At one point, McCloskey takes off at a high rate of speed. Officer White hits his siren and McCloskey stops his bike.

  

Officer White ends up shooting McCloskey. Attorneys for White say he believed McCloskey had a gun. However, McCloskey was unarmed and appears docile in the video.

  

The jury will have to determine if the shooting was justified. White is charged with felonious assault and faces up to 11 years in prison.
