There’s nothing different with kids these days vs 50 yeqrs ago regarding police.
You’ve judged everyone in the story already after reading one version. I’ll wait for more info.
There’s more to the story but unarmed because he didn’t have a gun? What was the officer being threatened with or was he hot after the chase and over did it? His trial might get some answers. Fired, yeah no 💩.
They can’t read. They cannot think for themselves. They’re on illegal or mind altering drugs or legal behaviour altering drugs. They believe life is a tiktok video. Their parents were asleep at the wheel when training them. Low real life experience. No objective reality or morality standards.
If it’s true that the kid fled the scene when the cop pulled him over, then it wasn’t a “routine traffic stop” as advertised in the clickbait title.
we are running really low on critical thinkers
i blame the skrools
what was going on at the park where the 18 yr old left from?
what gave the sheriff’s deputy the inclination to even stop the car?
why would a driver try to flee, instead of stopping?
did they know each other prior?
deputy was fired, not just put on leave?
Even if he was running, they know where he lives. It can be an added charge.
Sheriff is really hanging his guy out to dry, tainting a jury pool as much as possible. I hope the guy did bad and not a sleazy sheriff trying gor political gain.
You just never get the full facts in today’s high information speeds. You get a lot of one angle, none of the whole truth.
In the old days we got rumor and nothing else.
Riots either way.
Maybe he just wanted to save budget since the outcome will be obvious to him. But we know nothing really.
It’s a myth that police can’t shoot an unarmed (discovered later) suspect. All that is needed is probable cause for a serious threat of death or bodily injury. Michael Brown was one example.
Running from police on an extended chase ramps up this probable cause significantly.
It’s almost always an unknown whether a suspect in the commission of a crime is unarmed until the situation is completely under police control.
Routine in the USA, but many other countries are nowhere near as aggressive arresting people's travel. And when they do, the fine amounts are not in the territory of highway robbery. Hopefully, AI tools will eventually change things for the better. There shouldn't be so many psychopaths on the loose, nor government meatheads with guns making so many traffic stops.
razoria County deputy Kevin Tippit
Any relation to Dallas PD officer JD Tippet ?
“the freshman allegedly tried to flee the scene and led the deputy on a mile-long pursuit. “
THat will get you shot in Texas.
So why the stink?
Illustrates why I would never date a cop. Bully with a badge.
That’s your problem with this event? An unarmed 18 year old does something dumb yet non-violent and gets shot to death by a cop and you want to know why the kid did what he did? Good question. Here’s another. How about why did some idiot with a badge murdered somebody? Does that question occur to you?
Outrageous.
Did this kid have prior arrests?
This kid sounds like he did what the police themselves advise, especially for women., to drive slowly to a safe place. If this report is true., does kid drove slowly to his father’s house ONE mile.
Neighbor’s Ring cam shows it was a pretty slow 1 mile pursuit...the kid went directly home and parked in the family garage where the officer shot him. Dispatch radio call came in as “accidental discharge”. Chasing a kid a mile home is hardly a “death penalty” offense. Officer Taser/gun mixup again? Officer had his finger on trigger instead of the trigger guard? The police chief saw the writing on the wall quickly and fired the officer. Wrongful death lawsuit incoming.

Freshman in college gets pulled over and slowly drives a mile to his parents house? What a moron.
“Justice” in the courts never undoes the burden the families carry unto their own deaths. Yes, it IS different than when a loved one dies under normal circumstances. Having a life taken from us, literally stolen from us, is different. Its a double tragedy.
"Police are generally permitted to use lethal force only when they have a reasonable belief that the subject poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person. This standard was further refined in Tennessee v. Garner (1985), which held that deadly force may not be used to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect unless the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical harm to the public or the officer."
It's not clear what prompted the police to shoot the suspect. Fleeing a policeman is not sufficient justification. If the inquiry finds that the sheriff shot an unarmed suspect who posed no threat to himself or others - the sheriff will be likely be convicted of manslaughter or murder.
