I mean the first time this happened they should have just got body cams so we no longer have to rely on cops words, but we now have 1000 of incidents like this (maybe not always fatal) and police still fighting not to have body cams in a lot of places...

except I don't believe the cop at all, never did, the kid was walking home from the store not interrupted robbing a bank, there are times I buy the police's story, when they are chasing a bank robber etc, the car jacking video we saw before on this thread but I don't see reason a kid walking home from the 7/11, no outstanding arrest warrants or half a pound of blow in his pocket turns into a maniac without being pushed into it by the cop that instigated the contact in the first place, I just never saw how a situation escalates that fast and badly from nothing at all to dead kid.
No one fights with a cop without a reason, the reason maybe mental health, intoxication or outstanding warrants, possession of drugs or fleeing from a crime scene but no one just goes from walking home from the store with his friend to struggling with a cop for their gun for no reason.
