The video shows Ferguson attempting to exit the front passenger seat of a wrecked Honda — following a more than 2-mile chase through the streets of Brooklyn — as officers approach the vehicle with their weapons drawn.

As seen in the video, Ferguson — unable to fully open the door, which had become wedged against another vehicle — aims his weapon at police from inside the car, at which point the officers immediately open fire.

The footage, which a police spokesman said would be made available to Ferguson’s family before its planned release to the public, strengthens the NYPD’s position that the fatal shooting was justified as advocates seek to accuse the police of wrongfully killing Ferguson — and while a 3-year-old girl was in the backseat of the car.

“What we’ve seen was an execution by the New York City Police Department,” said Kevin McCall, founder of the Crisis Action Center. “The police are saying they found a gun. Well, release the body-cam footage.”

McCall joined Ferguson’s mother, Yolanda Campbell, and attorney Sanford Rubenstein on Friday at the corner of Utica Ave. and Park Place, where police fired as many as 19 shots after cornering the murder suspect, his girlfriend and her 3-year-old daughter after a car pursuit that stretched from Fort Greene to Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Ferguson’s 21-year-old girlfriend was behind the wheel of a black Honda spotted fleeing the Whitman Houses after reports of gunfire there Thursday afternoon, when she crashed into a black Mercedes double-parked at the intersection, cops said.

Police had ordered Ferguson and his girlfriend to exit the vehicle with their hands up when Ferguson took aim, NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey told reporters on Thursday.

“That gun was definitely pointed at the officer,” Maddrey said.

Ferguson’s girlfriend was also wounded when police opened fire as she attempted to flee the car on foot. Her 3-year-old daughter, who was in the backseat of the vehicle, escaped the incident unscathed.

Ferguson’s mother slammed the NYPD for using excessive force in killing her son and endangering the little girl.
