The teenager should not have been shot at all, indeed. Fascist police killed a person for shits and giggles.
@Raphael @electriccars Do we know of a reason why the police shot him, other than "he was disobeying an order to stop the vehicle"? I'd be lying if I said I knew much about the case, all I know is the cop shot the teen as he started to drive away.
I don't know and I don't care, unless the kid was an armed thug trying to commit crimes. Whatever they may have said, however they may have acted, it's not excuse for killing a person.
The police is supposed to protect the people, not kill them.
