By this time, the other NYPD Defendants were on the scene, most taking cover behind nearby cars. All of the officers were shouting at Mr. Graves to alternatively \"drop the gun... put your hands behind your back... show us your hands... stop moving...\" etc. Mr. Graves did not move, but he also did not drop his gun.
