[Dave's Not Here Man]

Because the officer feared for his life.

Pro Tip: you can run from the police faster if your pants aren't around your knees, and reaching to pull them up doesn't look like your going for your gat.

First rule of policing is Always fear for your life.

I always get that one and "it's us vs them" confused.


Still, if you watched the video, you witnessed a murder. The cops life was clearly not in danger, regardless of his fear.

I dunno John. As usual, there is no body cam footage and this teen was not the one who had an arrest warrant issued. So who knows what this cop told him as he got out of that car.

And the whole 'he was known to carry guns' shit has to end too. Whenever something like this happens, the first go-to for the police is to smear the victim and his (because the majority of shooting victims are male) family so that we all blame the victim and said he had it coming.
