Andrew Siff reports. (Published Monday, July 4, 2016)<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" data-pnum=\"5\">Other pedestrians hurry past, apparently frightened, the video shows. Vehicles also drive past. Moments later, Small&#8217;s girlfriend frantically runs toward the scene. That&#8217;s where the footage cuts off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" data-pnum=\"6\">Issacs was placed on administrative leave.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" data-pnum=\"7\">Police said the incident unfolded shortly after Isaacs ended his shift at a Brooklyn precinct and drove away in his civilian clothes. It wasn&#8217;t unusual that he was armed: The NYPD allows off-duty officers to carry weapons and to take police action if they encounter criminal activity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" data-pnum=\"8\">Police say the girlfriend who was riding with Small and their two children, ages 5 months and 14 years, told investigators that he became enraged after he thought the officer cut him off, then followed the officer&#8217;s car to the stoplight despite her pleas to calm down and let it go. They say there was no was back and forth that would have made Isaacs aware that he was being pursued or that Small knew he was an officer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" data-pnum=\"9\">The video obtained by the Post corroborates <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnewyork.com\/news\/local\/NYPD-Off-Duty-Cop-Fatal-Shooting-Driver-Road-Rage-Video-Emerges-385600541.html\" target=\"_blank\">a law enforcement official&#8217;s account of the video<\/a>\u00a0to The Associated Press earlier this week. The official who viewed the video told the AP that it showed Small walking around the front of the officer&#8217;s car and leaning through the driver&#8217;s window.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" data-pnum=\"10\">Small then &#8220;nearly instantaneously&#8221; stumbles back and ends up collapsing behind the officer&#8217;s vehicle as it lurches forward, the official said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" data-pnum=\"11\">The tape contradicts a <a href=\"http:\/\/nypost.com\/2016\/07\/07\/video-shows-motorist-punching-off-duty-cop-before-fatal-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\">prior New York Post report <\/a>quoting a man claiming he saw Isaacs get out of his car and shoot Small. Investigators believe Small had punched Isaacs with the officer still seated behind the wheel before the officer fired three times, leaving behind shell cases found inside the car.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph\" data-pnum=\"12\">The video has emerged as key evidence in a review by the NYPD and the state attorney general&#8217;s office into the shooting.<\/p>\n<div class=\"dateline
