  1. The kid wasn’t unarmed, he was piloting a 3000lb bullet. If you don’t think a car/truck is a weapon, then you’ve never been run over by one! I have, it hurts. a lot. The kid shouldn’t have run. and once he did run, he shouldn’t have tried to run over the police. multiple times. this is what lead to his death, not the cops! There were so many mistakes here, but the cop defending himself and the other cops, wasn’t one of them!

  2. Most ( if not all ) Police academies today teach officer safety trumps everything. The Police unions own the overseeing politicians.
