He tried to bum rush a cop and most certainly got what he deserved. Bet he was used to beating up on people that were smaller than he was.
...Yeah... because being black is against the law. By itself it is worth six shots in the face, at least. It is only that cop's good manners that he didn't use a bazooka.
Listen, in a weird way it is a good thing that it happened the way it happened. Do you know why? Because all of a sudden talking heads on CNN and even FOX news are talking about white privilege. The kid may have not been a good kid, he may have even be a ****, but there is a reason we have some protections built into the system ( and in case you are wondering: yes, those protections include not being shot in the back without a good reason ). Running away is not really a good reason after a random stop.
If you do not understand this, you are more stupid than me and that is kinda scary.
