Right now, it looks to me like the cop is going to prison
If these kids wouldn’t be out doing things they shouln’t or going into the bad parts of town or elements late at night this type of stuff would never have happened in the first place.
“Right now, it looks to me like the cop is going to prison”
Not at all. A simple claim of, “I thought he was reaching into his waistband for a gun” will suffice to get him off all charges. Cops are RARELY ever prosecuted for murder, manslaughter, or any other crime. They simply get “Administrative Leave” or terminated to go work for another department.
I saw a story just this AM (unverified) that the sheriff released some info. If this is correct, the dead punk was in the process of assaulting the officer and attempted to disarm him. Apparently the officer has significant and noticeable injuries to his face.
If he was shot in the back then yeah. Probably
