FULL TITLE: Shocking moment 18-year-old serial offender is shot dead a fraction of a second after pointing his gun at a cop
This is the shocking moment a Baltimore teenager fleeing a police officer spins and points his gun at the cop - only to be shot dead.
The bodycam footage, released by Baltimore Police Department, came at the end of a chase between Detective David Kincaid Jr and Curtis Deal, 18, in West Baltimore on Tuesday.
Police say Deal, who was out on $250,000 bond, jumped out of a car Kincaid was following on Tuesday and ran. Kincaid cut the youth off as he exited an alley, resulting in the violent scene.

Brit newspaper perspective. Shocked that police would shoot.
No, no, no. He was going into the Army to learn engineering.
Taxpayer relief.
I am shocked. Usualy the story is a half dozen cops empty their guns and hit the perp once or twice if they are lucky. This cop was either very proficient with his weapon or very lucky.

$250,000 “unsecured” bond is really ROR!
Where, at 18, did the judge think he got the $100K for the first bond?
A lesson here; It was the one in the abdomen that put him down, preventing him from shooting the LEO
NVA pointed one at me once......
I feel bad for the officers forced into this. They rarely use their firearm. Suddenly they have to make a quick choice and somebody’s dead. The perp brought it on himself, but the officer still has to live with killing someone.
His name is now Curtis Dealt, 18
The purpose of bail is to have the defendant provide some type of collateral to ensure his appearance. If bail is set at $1,000 cash, then the defendant must put up $1,000 cash in order to be released from jail. If the bail is $1,000 cash/corporate, then the defendant can choose to put up $1,000 in cash, or he can procure the services of a bondsman, who typically charges 10 percent of the bail, in this case $100. If the judge sets bail at $1,000 unsecured bond, the defendant is essentially signing a promissory note stating he will appear in court as scheduled. If he fails to appear, he owes the court $1,000. But in this case, the defendant doesn't have to come up with any money, unless he fails to appear.
Yeah, whether against a cop or CCW holder, bad posture to take.
I can’t believe they shot this poor youth, who dindu nuffin! He always have a smile on his face, and made everybody laugh! He was an expiring rapper! They dint have to shoot him! It’s Black History Month, no less!
(No. I just can’t seem to work up any sympathy for him. You are all witnesses that I really tried.)
No.
Just wait until all the young ladies with flower tattoos find that they eventually turn into hanging baskets.
Ha, ha, ha... love that one!
You mean black leftists murder.
I take it he won’t do that again.

Fair enough.
I think most of the ‘general public,’ though, if there is such a thing anymore, don’t want to see a tatted up cop. It goes to character and judgement and begs my original question: can’t PD’s find normal people anymore?
Like society, PD requirements have gone in the crapper (drugs, tats, etc). Tats are now fine. Another question that is begged: When is too far too far? Neck tattoo? Manson swastika over the third eye? Skulls? What about other ‘body modifications’ Plugs? Piercings? Slippery slope and all that.
I live on a big city MLK blvd. Tats immediately scream gang, prison, bad judgement, extreme lower sociological class. If I have to call a cop, the last thing I want to see is one respond who is a fellow traveler.
In the military, former military? Got a discrete tat under the uniform? Fine.
I never want to see tats on my doctor, airline pilots, daughter, mother, wife, rabbi, etc.
Jimmy Johns or Subway (IIRC) won’t hire a $10 an hour sandwich maker if they have ANY visible tats.
We now live in a society where a sub shop has higher character requirements than the cops. And it is a character issue, not the tattoo per se.
Your fellow senior officers are very correct; that’s the America I remember, the America that was.
I think he knew the gig was up by looking at his eyes.
I don’t disagree with you. It’s just a decision administrators have made that overlook the tattoos. Piercings and body modification wouldn’t be tolerated. It comes down to the fact that I as a officer have no control over what is and isn’t tolerated in personal tattoos among the rank and file. So I don’t sweat it. That’s all.

Glad you did not write "he knew the jig was up"
That would have been racissssss.....
