TL;DR Summary

Philadelphia's police commissioner intends to fire Officer Mark Dial, who fatally shot 27-year-old Eddie Irizarry during a traffic stop. Video evidence contradicted the initial police account, leading to the decision. Commissioner Danielle Outlaw cited violations of the department's disciplinary code, including insubordination and conduct unbecoming. The police union supports Dial, and the criminal investigation is ongoing. The surveillance video showed Irizarry inside his vehicle when the officer fired six shots, prompting questions about the initial police report. The family has not seen the body-camera footage, and the attorney plans to provide the surveillance video to law enforcement agencies.
