    Didn’t leave them much choice.

    Wrong. The murderer chose to shoot and kill the kid. That was the choice they made.

    They could have…just run away to a safe distance. But they chose to shoot and murder the kid.

    Could have tried to disarm them. Too risky? Run away.

    Stop making excuses for poorly trained thugs with guns killing unarmed citizens.

        When I am running away from something to escape danger I do not do so facing the danger and aiming a gun.

        I guess you and that cop have a better method of running away from danger that somehow isn’t primarily concerned with increasing safety by maximizing distance from the danger?

          You suggesting running away indicated to me that you didn’t watch the video and thus don’t have a clear view of what actually happened there. If you did, then my bad.

          Knowing american cops, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was physically unable to outrun the guy.
