A car is a weapon in this kid used as it as such. Deadly force was the response to deadly force. I don’t see what he did wrong. And there was some excellent shooting as the passenger was not hit.

Yes, the kid set things in motion by not cooperating with the officer. But the cop crossed the line when he started shooting at the car as it sped away. There could have been children in that car. There could have been innocents standing behind the car, in the line of fire.
The whole idea of opening fire is to either protect the cop’s life, or to protect the lives of innocents. The cop in this instance put more innocent lives in jeopardy. That does not excuse the kid in any way, of course.
Nonsense -- this kid did no such thing. He never drove it at the officer.
His first encounter with this officer is when the officer jerks his door open while he's got a hamburger in his mouth. No lights, no tap on the window, just immediately jerks his door open completely surprising the kid.
You like that Kiwi after taste, I take it.

His chief did!
