Shooting someone dead at point blank range, who was being held up against a wall, just because the butt of a gun was spotted, is not justified by a badge (badges in this case).

Use of deadly force by civilians in many states requires an imminent threat of significant bodily harm with no means of retreat. Law enforcement should be held to the same standards as they are professionally trained in this area, armed, usually protected with a vest, and in this case out-numbered the suspect 2-1.

What was the justification for holding him against a wall(fence)in the first place? The other kid was released so what was the stop for?

Who said they backed up and opened fire? The same people who said they were here legally.

I’m betting the kid decided to fight it out. If a cop is searching him and sees a rifle butt, he’s going to yank on it to see what happens. He’s not going to back up and cut loose.
