He was Hispanic Racist cop Racist system White supremacy
or
He stole a car Fleeing from police Report of shots fired from car Tried to back over police
You decide.
I just wanna know if hollow point were used and blood and brains splattered all over the inside of the car!??
Well, if the cop killed the second person months earlier, then clearly he killed them out of order.
I had to be the first to say it.
Try to run over a cop and you get shot,
Can the kid’s carcass be sold for maggot food to pay for the bullet he made the policeman use?!?
So if the cop was trigger happy, what was the kid? Vehicular theft and assault happy?
The question I ask myself is: "when is it necessary for police to use deadly force?" Cornell Law School attempts to answer this question.
§ 1047.7 Use of deadly force.
(a) Deadly force means that force which a reasonable person would consider likely to cause death or serious bodily harm. Its use may be justified only under conditions of extreme necessity, when all lesser means have failed or cannot reasonably be employed. A protective force officer is authorized to use deadly force only when one or more of the following circumstances exists:
(1) Self-Defense. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to protect a protective force officer who reasonably believes himself or herself to be in imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm.
(2) Serious offenses against persons. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to prevent the commission of a serious offense against a person(s) in circumstances presenting an imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm (e.g. sabotage of an occupied facility by explosives).
(3) Nuclear weapons or nuclear explosive devices. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to prevent the theft, sabotage, or unauthorized control of a nuclear weapon or nuclear explosive device.
(4) Special nuclear material. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to prevent the theft, sabotage, or unauthorized control of special nuclear material from an area of a fixed site or from a shipment where Category II or greater quantities are known or reasonably believed to be present.
(5) Apprehension. When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to apprehend or prevent the escape of a person reasonably believed to: (i) have committed an offense of the nature specified in paragraphs (a)(1) through (a)(4) 1 of this section; or (ii) be escaping by use of a weapon or explosive or who otherwise indicates that he or she poses a significant threat of death or serious bodily harm to the protective force officer or others unless apprehended without delay.
1 These offenses are considered by the Department of Energy to pose a significant threat of death or serious bodily harm.
(b) Additional Considerations Involving Firearms. If it becomes necessary to use a firearm, the following precautions shall be observed:
(1) A warning, e.g. an order to halt, shall be given, if feasible, before a shot is fired.
(2) Warning shots shall not be fired.
Here is the relevant phrase in the story: “....after he hijacked a car and hit into the officers’ squad vehicle...”
I assume they had no idea of his age at the time he did the hijacking, etc. If you do adult sized crimes, expect an appropriate response by cops prior to their checking your age.
Black on black Hispanic on Hispanic is really whitie
Young boy.
13 is the new 20.
Sounds like some Daily Mail writers need to stay out of Texas. They appear to be out of their crying helpless, criminal-supporting element.
That is one poorly-written article. The title says the kid rammed a police car. But then in the article it seems to imply that the kid actually struck a police officer.
Kinda makes you wonder if the Daily Mail has an agenda here.
He tried to use a stolen vehicle to kill the cop. The cop opens the door to his car, and the kid rams the police car on the side of the door.
I don’t see a debate here. What we have is a failure to educate the population on what happens if you: 1: Resist arrest. 2: Attack a police officer. 3: Attempt to kill a police officer. Virtually every single police ‘tragedy’ is related to these three events. The rest mostly are mistakes or bad decisions. A few are ‘dirty’ cops.
“Shocking”
Yeah, well...we have our own take. Don’t we?
Pretty sure the one a month earlier was the FIRST and this was the second. Just sayin’. Unless they have some sort of time machine. And one round is hardly triggr happy. Empty mag, reload empty second mag, maybe. Simple lesson. Don’t steal cars, don’t get shot. Lastly, were there any signs of CONvid vax?
He drove right into the open door of the police car. That’s assault. Cop did nothing legally wrong.
Using a car as a weapon to run people down justifies use of deadly force.
The cop should have waited until the "boy" killed him before shooting.
A car is a deadly weapon. When you use it to ram the cops, expect them to use deadly force in return.
One thing is for sure: Jack-ass parents and neglectful upbringing are not to be blamed.
