The caller continues: "It's getting bad. They’re saying for me to move away because people are making him mad. Anybody of authority is making him angry."

Winter Park police say when an officer tried to separate Knight from another guest, he punched the officer and knocked him out.

Investigators say when Knight turned to the second officer, a taser was deployed, but it didn't stop him. That's when officers were forced to open fire, killing Knight.

The family claims the police's version of what happened is wrong.
