AS the kid is shot, and in the immediate aftermath, his arms do not move. They STAY in the interlaced position.
At 4:34 it looks like the shooter leans down and undoes the cuffs, THEN the arm flops free at 4:36. During the entire shooting and the several seconds after, that kid's hands REMAIN together behind his back.
That kid was cuffed. (but you're right, it doesn't even matter. It's irrelevant- that's a totally bad shooting regardless).

I thought it looked like he took them off as well, so I watched that few seconds several times. If he did take them off, he did it one handed. That would be hard to do. And why, if they had no idea they were being filmed, would he take them off, only to put them back on again? He would have just left them on. No, that guy was not cuffed. It's bad enough as it is; that video (and the others) are extremely damning. The cop murdered the guy.
People do not die instantly when hit by a bullet. Claiming his arms would have relaxed and fallen immediately to his side as he died is the commentator's ploy to stir things up even more so than they already are. He is either an idiot who has no idea what happens when some one gets shot, or he is hoping his audience are idiots. He is running a blog and just trying to add shock value to get more hits. This incident doesn't need that; the truth looks bad enough.
