The kid deserved to die for trying to pull a gun on a cop, not because he stole a car

I don't understand your point. The post you originally quoted indicated the kid was shot for the same reasoning you are using here.

It's pretty simple. Roger said the kid should not have been shot just for stealing a car... which he wasn't. He was shot for reaching for a gun while being detained for stealing a car. And, Roger, along with anyone with a level head, agrees that this is justified.

As a basic discussion no a person doesn't deserve to die for stealing a car. However just like with Michael Brown if they hadn't broken the law by stealing they would've never been in the situation to begin with. Hell I'm white and do what I can to limit my interactions with the police.

Remember at Michael Browns funeral when they said he was out spreading the word of Jesus when he was killed?

They don't care

I'm black as well and if you: 1) Are driving a stolen vehicle 2) Lie to the cop multiple times 3) Reach for a gun in front of a cop after being warned not too. You deserve whatever happens to you. Moving on.

I know the answer, just surprised it doesn't happen more often.
