re: Cop shoots teen during Michigan traffic stop, lawsuit filed (possibly NSFW)

Still think they need to fire 3/4 of the cops serving and then take the money saved and double the pay for all good cops. Hopefully would attract better human beings to the profession and not cops who feel the need to whip out their dick because someone tries to let them know that they had their bright lights on.

Kid was still in the wrong and should have obeyed the officer's commands. They did seem like lawful commands under the circumstances. Problems arise when cops start giving unlawful orders and shoot you for rightfully refusing. Didn't seem to be the case here.

I didn't see the attack on the officer so I'll assume it actually happened and the cop was justified at that point. But at some point one of 2 things will happen. We will figure out that the death penalty isn't warranted on such meaningless crimes or citizens will begin shooting cops in self defense at a higher rate figuring it's better to be alive and fight it out in court as to whether it was self defense or not instead of being dead.
