The Newport Beach Police Department released shocking video of “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum Lydia McLaughlin’s brother’s final moments before an officer shot him dead last month.

In the bodycam footage taken on April 17 and obtained by Page Six on Thursday, Geoffrey Shyam Stirling is seen being pulled over by police while riding on a motorcycle, claiming he is “fully sober.”

“I’m just trying to stay safe,” he tells the officer. “People have almost been hitting me all day.”

When the officer instructs him to sit on the sidewalk, Stirling then becomes increasingly uncooperative.

“I don’t care what you’re telling me to do,” he can be heard saying in the audio before attempting to get back on his bike seemingly to ride off.

«Ok, don't sit down, just come on this side "so you won't get hit by a car".(for your safety) Cop has 0 de-escalation knowledge or training. Could have been avoided. Guy is intoxicated, need to change tactic for your safety and advantage. Simple stuff.»

«When you engage in a fight with an armed person and that person is losing, it's not out of the question that the loser will shoot your ass.

Now one bullet would have probably done the job, but cops with semi-auto weapons tend to pull the trigger multiple times.»

«@W1zard0f0h A "lawful order" is a command issued by a competent authority (like a police officer or military commander) that is not contrary to law, regulations, or a person's rights.»
