I watched the video. The incident occurred in Akron, Ohio. Police were drawn to the location, by the sound of gunshots.

One or both of the first two police officers to arrive, shot the 15-year old boy, who apparently had - we are told via an after action report - a loaded firearm.

After that shooting by the one-or-two, first cops, none of the video indicates that any of the cops responding, suggested that the boy might not be able to respond to their commands.

... the boy might not be able to respond to their commands.

Fair point. The “civil rights lawyer” narrating is useless. Not knowing the nature of the wounds, he speculates that the kid may have been shot in the back, then runs with that narrative.

We have a Monday-morning quarterback, bemoaning the quality of the video evidence, and second guessing cops that heard shots at night. Without autopsy results, I’d say this is premature debate.
