          I do not know if I want my son to start driving in a few short years. I just had a talk with him about how to behave when pulled over, but...I mean we KNOW that police are not above olanting evidence when it suits them....how should they have behaved?? Maybe stay in the car??

          Just teach your son that he shouldn’t illegally carry a firearm past curfew and shoot a cop, he should be fine

          No one asked you. Also that is not what the witnesses say. But thanks for nothing.

          Well you posted on a public site therefore expect responses that you may not agree with. Just stating the facts, whether you choose to accept them or not is kinda on you.

          True, but your response was combative and useless. So, you could have saved that for someone who actually believes that that boys was on the ground AND shot at a cop. I don’t. Also, I stood MP duty for a while in the Navy, so before you go and start pontificating, check yourself.

          You standing as an MP in the military also has nothing to do with what i said either so I’m not sure what you were hoping to accomplish by that? Thank you for your service but that was irrelevant unless I’m missing your point...

          Also, I do not need your thanks. It was freely given, which IS my point. I served so that my kids could live in a better world than the one I inherited. This is not it. Go read the story. Then read it again. And as for police, they have other methods of subduing. Period.

          Very vague story, judging by the grammar of the witness/younger brother, I’d say the stop went nothing like the way he claims. And i don’t know about you but I’m not going to meet a deadly weapon with non deadly force. It’s called a force multiplier, you should know that though

          I won't argue that point...but the video is pretty clear as far as him shooting...and the demeanor of the officers prior to that point was far from being overtly adversarial. Just my opinion.

          Sad this kid lost his life, but if you don’t fire a gun a police officers you have a better chance of not being killed during a traffic stop because your taillight is out.

          This article does not conclude Charles Mith Jr. shot at police, the witness stated a shot “went off”. Doesn’t say who let the shot off. If three officers had control over the teen, how did the shot go off?

          https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bGejqX2lAOk … he pulled a gun on the officers. Were they just supposed to let him kill them? Quit playing police officers out to be the bad guy here. He was even going to let them get away with having weed on them
