Reply to comment by underscore_at in 17-year-old shot and killed by US Park Police after fleeing traffic stop identified - WTOP News by thepulloutmethod

I mean, if you're driving away in a stolen car with one officer inside while dragging another one, maybe that one justifies force that could kill a 17-year-old.

Assuming the article is accurate.

How about force that doesn’t end someone’s life?

Yeah, if you can, but that's not always possible. The whole "shoot them in the arm thing" is a Hollywood fantasy.

Big assumption.

After the news about the Atlanta cops last week I'm not trusting statements put out by the police unless there's a body cam or dashcam video supporting what they say.

Exactly. That's why I included it. I don't necessarily trust what the police say, but hopefully there is bodycam footage or something.
