Suicide by cop or buying time to make a break for it as he had a warrant out for him for armed robbery?
Did they find out if anyone of this crew had a gun as per the original call that brought the police to the store?
Or he might have been wearing headphones, listening to music like his two pals said he was...
Guess those kind of fell out of the narrative, like the non-existent loosies that Eric Garner got killed over.
Now, I watched presumably the same video that you did, the one that's 47 seconds long.
The cop pulls up, starts climbing out of the car at 17 seconds, and the kid is shot 20 seconds later.
@ 17 seconds, he's climbing out of the car, at 24 seconds, he rounds the cars that are masking the kid (whose back is to him), he does the aggressive, gravel-voiced "get yer hands out NOW!" thingee at 29 seconds and continuing, the kid still has his back to the cop at 32 seconds, just starting to turn at 33 seconds, and he's shot 4 seconds later, at 37 seconds.
Reminds me of a "shooter" video game.
No gun, but the dead kid was loaded (0.18). If he was wearing earphones, which by his sauntering away it appears he was, it means the drunk guy had 3-4 seconds to figure out he'd better not do anything stupid.
Whoops! Somebody "feared for his life"! Sorry, kid - them's the breaks - but thanks for playing!
He did not hear the cop. He had ear buds in. He was reachung for his wallet and did not know the cop was there.
