Stupid remark aside, 17 years old isn’t a “kid”. If you can enlist in the military, you aren’t a kid anymore.

How is it the city’s fault? This seems to be the parents’ fault.

It's famously one of the worst movies that all who were involved ever made. There's a podcast and a book about how disastrous the movie was, both called "The Devil's Candy." I recommend the original book, the book about the movie, and the podcast.

It was outside

Fuck shady police idgaf about them but this kid was also obviously a pos

Lol what’s with the “ “? One of those “allegedly” things or are they playing around with us?

If you try to drive off with anyone armed and trapped in your car, expect to be on the receiving those arms. It could be a gun, knife, taser, keys, seatbelt, phone, shoe, or just regular old arms. Don't kidnap someone -- especially if they are armed and inside the vehicle you are operating.

How do you know? And if you're trying to remove someone from the driver's seat, why get in the back?

This is just to say that the cops didn't give a statement about what led up to this. No explanation. You can imagine what you want, but we need the body cam footage.

The kid refused to get out of the car, so the cops tried to remove him. Nothing wrong there.

What does that mean?

"our son was an angel who could do no wrong" or some dumbass boilerplate shit like that.

Yeah. That is extremely confusing. Hopefully their body cams were on.

This is a different story than the one I read in The Washington Post today

It is always moral to kill something that is trying to kill you

“When did you stop beating your wife” vibes

You can't rescind someone else's condolences. That's not how that works.

Conveniently, this article leaves out the information that this 17-year-old was asleep in the car when cops got there. It'll be super interesting to hear how and why they got into the car. And then why they shot someone who was driving.

Reporter who was on the scene provides info here.

Good job telling on yourself.
