FROM THE ARTICLE: A struggle ensued when one of the men pushed the officer into his patrol car and one shot was fired. The officer then got out of the vehicle and shot at ‘a subject’ multiple times

It is a shame that a young person is dead but the story is still not clear. After the officer was pushed into his patrol car, who fired the one shot? The officer? The dead kid’s friend? Nothing good can result when you push a police officer into his patrol car. But if the kid’s hands were in the air, he certainly should not have been shot.
“It is a shame that a young person is dead but the story is still not clear.”
— exactly.
Tossing all racial issues aside for a second. Should the police department really be investigating themselves? There’s gotta be a better way than that — including IA investigations.
One of the “witnesses” also says the police were trying to run them over with their car. That is a new one to me.
