Philadelphia officer 'suspended with intent to dismiss', for refusal to cooperate in investigation after execution of man illegally parked
Philadelphia police say that around noon on Monday, August 14 officers initiated a traffic stop on an erratic driver in the area of B and Erie streets.
The driver, later identified as Irizarry, turned the wrong way down Willard Street before coming to a stop.
Video released Tuesday shows the officers pull up alongside Irizarry’s vehicle and quickly exit the vehicle with their guns drawn.
One of the officers makes his way over the driver’s side door, and fires into the vehicle where Irizarry was still seated.
That officer has since been identified as Officer Mark Dial, a five-year veteran of the force.
According to the video released Tuesday, less than 10 seconds transpired between the time the officers stepped out of their vehicle and the fatal shots being fired.

At least we’re calling it the right thing now. An execution.
Since when is someone with five years experience a veteran in civil society?
They aren’t, but some people just love the taste of boots
How does someone with this name end up in law enforcement? That’s just odd.
