re: Dallas area Police Shoot and Kill 15yr teen

This local case has always disgusted me. I'm Pro-LEO but why this cop was not fired much less charged with murder baffles me.

BRPD pays 495k settlement for shooting in 2011

Leading up to the incident, police were called to the scene related to Domingue driving recklessly in the parking lot.  As events unfolded and he was taken into custody, Magee either told or asked (accounts differ) Harris to move Dominique's car despite witnesses saying Harris told Magee he was drunk.

Harris was shot while moving the car after he smashed into various vehicles in the parking lot, including police cruisers.  Magee said at the time he was worried for his safety, and those around him, so he opened fire.  Harris was shot dead.  Magee also suggested Harris had some sort of weapon.
