Bellaire Cop to Explain Why He Shot a Young, Black, Unarmed Male

Bellaire, Texas


The Bellaire Police sergeant Jeff Cotton offers testimony concerning an incident on Dec. 31, 2008 that led to the shooting of Bellaire resident Robbie Tolan, a young black resident, and the subsequent felony trial.

“I felt like at this point he’s drawing a weapon and I’m behind the curve,” Cotton told the jury. “It was fast. Very fast.”
