How in the world could an innocent person being shot EVER be considered a clean shoot?
That's the terminology used when the suspect's behavior, given the information available, justifies shooting him. (Remember, a "suspect" may be innocent.) Tragic "clean shoots" include:
- kid taking a firing stance and pointing a convincing toy gun (case: kid skulking around school at night with LaserTag gun)
- a guy suddenly ("furtive movement") drawing a black object from his coat after being told to not move (case: the Diallo shooting)
and plenty others.
This case is plainly a "dirty shoot" because the boy was told to get out of the car, and simply was unbuckling his seat belt: he was following directions and made no furtive movement.
This case must not stand.
