Watch the video.

For the life of me I can't think of any reason to tell the kid to stand up other than to shoot him.

I mean what sort of police procedure has you telling a suspect to get up off the ground where he is prone?

IMHO, the cop had severe tunnel vision. he was saying, "get up!"

then, when the kid tried to get up and the deputy shot him, the deputy says, "you don't get up!"

the cop seems to be totally fried and was running on adrenaline. which is understandable after a 100mph chase. why was this kid in the chase in the first place? tough to be on someones side after you have been speeding away from them at 100mph. but he did not deserve to be shot.

Does your title mean that this links to the video mentioned in the story? Because I don't see it anywhere.

... maybe I'll wait for the "America's Most Wanted" re-enactment.

I found the following quote from a related article:

"He was getting out of the car with his hands up and that's when his friend started running. Since my husband was surrendering, they shot him. They shot him on the shoulder, on the chest and the leg," said the victim's wife Mariela Carrion.

So it sounds to me like the officer shot the victim just as the driver was fleeing.
