Was the kid on drugs or drunk ? Did he have a criminal record, ? In all seriousness though, If I was confronted with an armed policeman, I would do exactly what he said at the time, and if he was unfair, take it up with his boss later or get a lawyer. Why did the kid act like a complete prick,had an attitude problem to the extreme ? The cop to me, certainly at first, was seemed polite and reasonable. And from the looks of it, and what the media is neglecting to comment about right before the kid was shot, the kid jumped up and charged the officer ,I mean what a fukking dumbass.I don't know what has got into many kids these days... there was a time kids did what adults said, let alone armed police officers....
I would say though,Iam not expert in armed law enforcement, but is seven rounds excessive? I mean if he had done that to a british police officer , he would still be alive, The policeofficer may have got hurt more, I dunno, looked like the kid went fukking wild on him, Should anyone be killed for assaulting a police officer while unarmed? probably not, but it's a fukking stupid thuggish thing to do.
I understand the parents anger and saddness but that video really doesn't show their son in a good light either. I would be ashamed if I was his father.Cop gave him multiple chances to walk away. Some others would not have, especially if he was black.
