Time travel is clearly possible if the video is an accurate portrayal of the event, and one may...
revisit the same instant many times. Apparently, a small purple/green distortion accompanies this shifting:
These similar frames are @32:43, @33:10, @33:29, @33:55, @34:03 and @34:10 in the original TDoPS video upload.
What kind of 'technical glitch' would cause this along with the other problems?

Is it smart tactically to put oneself facing into the sun if one needs to approach a 'suspect'? Can one determine that it is safe to fire at a target if one is looking at the target and the sun approximately behind the target? How would a person walking in the direction of the sun behave differently than a person walking away from the sun if addressed from behind? Would there be any disorientation? Beyond this, if one were intoxicated, would this possible disorientation be amplified by the intoxicant?
Can this terrible incident be ascribed to potentially negligently faulty tactics employed by the responding officers? Tactics that gave at least one of the officers no way to accurately perceive the level of threat that was being presented?
This sort of thing has to stop.
So, why did Officer Sylleloglu (who had his gun out first) and was flanking Dillon Taylor not fire??
Was he not '...scared...' as Officer Cruz stated himself to be? Or was it that Officer Sylleloglu chose not to follow Dillon Taylor in a manner that required his line of sight to be facing into the sun? (Thus, Officer Sylleloglu could actually see what was taking place in front of him?)
DA says Dillon Taylor officer-involved killing was justified
By Erin Alberty And Marissa Lang The Salt Lake Tribune

...
Taylor's shooting was justified, Gill said, not because he posed an actual threat, but because Cruz reasonably perceived a threat.
"Officer Cruz's belief that Dillon Taylor was armed with a gun and intended to use it against the officers was reinforced by Dillon's actions and the acts of others," Gill wrote in a letter to Salt Lake City Police Chief Chris Burbank. "By the time Dillon drew his hands from his waistband, Officer Cruz's belief that Dillon was presenting a weapon [and ... would use the weapon against officers] was reasonable."
...
When Taylor withdrew his hands from his waistband, Cruz told investigators: "I was scared to death. The last thought I had go through my mind when I pulled the trigger ... was that 'I was too late. I was too late.' And because of that I was gonna get killed."
...
No gun • After the shooting, Cruz rolls Taylor's body over and cuffs his hands as a witness can be heard screaming, "They [expletive] shot him!" Officer Andrew Sylleloglu can be heard telling Cruz he couldn't activate his body camera.

By some arcane mathematical alchemy (likely known only to CNN), four significant figures can become either six or seven significant figures - and sometimes two significant figures can become six significant figures.

Physicist Leon Lederman's Nobel Prize Medal Sells for $765,000
by Alan Boyle
The Nobel Prize gold medal that physicist Leon Lederman won in 1988 was auctioned off on Thursday for a winning bid of $633,335, plus a buyer's premium that brought the final price to $765,002.
...
Lederman used his share of the money from the 1988 Nobel Prize to buy a vacation cabin in Idaho — which he and his wife now use as their principal residence.
Ellen Lederman, who is 67, told AP that she and her husband have been living comfortably in retirement, but that they now face potentially costly medical bills and uncertainty following a diagnosis of dementia for the Nobel-winning physicist.
"It's terrible," she said. "It's really hard. I wish it could be different. But he's happy. He likes where he lives with cats and dogs and horses. He doesn't have any problems with anxiety, and that makes me glad that he's so content."

Guantánamo Bay: How many years will be required to close it? 1...5...10...20?
Published on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 by Common Dreams
Rights Groups to Obama: No More Foot Dragging On Closing Guantánamo
'It is time for President Obama, and Defense Secretary Carter, to take action to transfer the 57 men still held who have already been approved to leave Guantánamo, and to release or charge in federal court those who remain'
by Sarah Lazare, staff writer
Omar Khadr—captured by the U.S. as a child, forced to endure torture, and detained 13 years, most of them at Guantánamo Bay—was recently released on bail to widespread media attention.
But on Tuesday, leading human rights groups released an open letter reminding U.S. President Barack Obama—and the world—that 122 men still languish behind bars at the infamous facility, largely without charge or trial, and the slow trickle of releases is not enough.
Addressing Obama and Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, groups including Amnesty International USA, Veterans for Peace, Reprieve, and Center for Constitutional Rights declared that the U.S. government "must act to close the prison as quickly as possible."
The missive took direct aim at one of the president's many pledges, this one made nearly two years ago, to revamp his efforts to shutter the facility.

Springfield police say they have turned over evidence to prosecutors for them to review in connection with a February shooting in which an unarmed man was shot and killed by a police officer.
Police spokeswoman Lisa Cox said Thursday that police are still waiting on the completed autopsy report and the final testing of physical evidence in the Feb. 17 shooting of Michael Ireland, but she said police presented their investigative reports to the Greene County Prosecutor's Office last week so that prosecutors could begin reviewing the evidence.
Prosecutors will make the determination on whether charges should be filed against the officer who shot Ireland, Andrew Bath.
