I saw the bodycam video. The cop mentions the vehicle ‘got away from him’ the previous night. He calls for backup. Before the backup gets there, he just opens the door and shouts at the kid to get out. The kid is in the middle of taking a bite of his burger. For some reason, and I don’t remember if the cop announced himself as a police officer, the kid puts the car in reverse and reverses. The cop then opens fire.
Real quick, but to me (not a police officer) it seems like the cop should’ve waited for backup before confronting the guy. Hindsight’s 20/20 though.
The only problem was, that wasn’t the car.
