If they had to shoot, couldn't trained officers shoot him in the leg to stop him ? Does it have to be a kill shot ?

None kill shots seem to happen only in the movies.

It always amazes me that they don't try and imobilise first. I fully appreciate there isn't always time but on this occasion they say they tried a stun gun first so that would imply they had time to think. This boy clearly had mental health issues.

Yeah, It's just the same old I feared for my life reasoning. Like they need to have a gun/shotgun with beanbag/rubber bullets to use, you know unless it's some crazy psychopathic murderer

So sad, his mother must be experiencing all kinds of emotions. Who knows how he would have turned out with the right kind of help ?

i'm straight, don't really like gay culture ...but that young man was just too beautiful to die so young. How sad for all the young ladys of this world

I am sure your heart was in the right place, but you attenuate the death of „ugly“ teenagers as an implied consequence. Suicide (by cop) is horrific, for everybody involved.

Suicide is unforgivable anyway. Why end suffering on earth simply to suffer for eternity?
