Newly released bodycam video shows the grim moment “Real Housewives of Orange County” alum Lydia McLaughlin’s brother was fatally shot during a traffic stop in California after he allegedly snatched the cop’s taser.Geoffrey Shyam Stirling, 45, had been pulled over for running a red light on his motorcycle in Newport Beach on April 17 when he started to become “uncooperative,” police allege.Bodycam and dashcam footage released late Wednesday captured Stirling — who cops said was on parole and had a lengthy rap sheet — getting into a heated exchange and scuffle with the officer just moments before the gunfire rang out.
