Cop already had his gun drawn and was just waiting for the kid to make his day.

That’s what I don’t get about watching livePD. All these black people complain about cops killing them then I see every week some hoodrat with threatening body language screaming obscenities at police.
I’m like you’re the one escalating this situation moron.

This is how you handle stupid provocative questions from the media:

When asked if the officer is white, Supt. McDonough said he didn't see what that had to do with the shooting.

Never run from the cops. It's not hard to follow the law, even when stopped.

is there more to the story?
Not that it matters but the background on this might point to why the officer was amped up.
The car was seen fleeing the scene of a shooting a few minutes earlier and had bullet holes in the back window when the officer got it stopped.
As far as that goes though, I have trouble seeing why the officer would approach and start taking the driver into custody by himself. I would think that situation definitely qualifies as a Hold them at Gunpoint until Backup arrives type of scenario.

Nah, they will say they feared for their life, the DA will then toss the case at grand jury level and either present no evidence or only very friendly evidence to the LEO. Then once a no bill comes back the DA seals the transcripts so no one knows what happened.
Meanwhile the cops that pulled the trigger get a 6 month paid vacation, and most likely a police union supported promotion for not breaking the law.
A civil trial then ensues and the city (but not the officers) pays a lot of taxpayer money. 6 months after the civil trial is over the whole ordeal is forgotten.
Statistically speaking this is the outcome for the vast majority of police shootings like this.

you should hear our wonderful mayor and council members talk about the need for police to "de-escalate". That's the epitome of cringe.
they never suggest the thugs do the same tho.

I’m gonna need to see a picture or read his name to see how guilty he was

Yeah context changes things a little bit. If it was a pursuit with gunshots and all that, it was likely a super tense encounter once the cars stopped.

I guess asking police officers not to shoot at unarmed fleeing suspects is too much.

They have killed people who didn't run. Compliance don't always save you

He was running away in a threatening manner. Justified
Posted on 6/20/18 at 1:30 pm to TJGator1215
According to Tennessee vs. Garner, the officer may not use deadly force to prevent escape unless "the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others." Rationale is to prevent further violence perpetrated upon other subjects. If this kid just shot someone, then the officers may have a defense.
