Phillip was shot and killed March 23 at a Wawa gas station after police said he tried to drive away when an officer was about to search him.

Did they have a warrant or probable cause?
They can’t just shoot you for refusing a search.
His trying to drive away was the reason for the shooting.
A cop can be 30 feet BEHIND a fleeing car. But that still constitutes deadly force resistance.
So the laws allow the cops to open fire.
It's 2018. Cops can shoot you for any reason they like.
“They can’t just shoot you for refusing a search.”
True, but knowing how the media likes to “massage” the details of police shootings lately, I wouldn’t be surprised if “tried to drive away” really means something like “tried to run over a police officer with his vehicle while escaping”.
Are we still sure about this one?
