It's not what he may do, it's what he already had done, that includes stealing a car, running from police, backing up onto a police car, and endangering lives by driving the wrong way on a one way street and onto central campus.
I was only one number off.
But, to me at least, what he had done is not relevant when you make the decision to shoot and kill him. You decide to shoot and kill if you are presently in immediate danger. With the car, by news accounts, stuck and surrounded by police, what was the immediate danger? Sure, he did the the other things. Try to bring him in alive and prosecute him on those things. I just can't see why, with the car stuck and pinned against a tree, you have to put 6 bullets in the guy, apparently justified by the fact that he had previously been acting reckless.

First of all, it's absolutely relevant, because it's a clear indication of what he's going to do if he gets away again. Second, the eye witness account account I saw said after the truck hit the tree the suspect was still trying to ram police vehicles in an attempt to free the truck.But, to me at least, what he had done is not relevant when you make the decision to shoot and kill him.

Jager on the dresserHave no idea were this discussion is. Just found out Ty, the boy who was killed has family connections to my wife's hometown. Did a Facebook search on her (the mom) and found this photo.. classy! Also several comments about how stupid the cops are. obviously there are two sides to this story.

Shoot when? When they were chasing the suspect? Maybe just hang out the window and fire a few rounds at a moving vehicle in hopes of hitting something?So why then weren't shots fired during the first aggressive actions? If they were in such grave danger then, why not shoot then? Instead, they wait until the car is damaged and stuck and the police have a better hold on the situation to shoot to kill.
It's pointless to argue about this at this point because the kid is dead and the only side of the story you will hear is that of the police and the increidbly thorough investigation I'm sure they will do into the circumstances surrounding the decision to shoot this kid 6 times.

No, silly....when the helicopter came hovering over and the the police were hanging by their legs...you know, right before the big explosion?
Are you implying that shooting out of the window while driving in GTA isn't realistic?Shoot when? When they were chasing the suspect? Maybe just hang out the window and fire a few rounds at a moving vehicle in hopes of hitting something?

Except it was dad's business truck he stole.If you had an argument with a teenage family member and they stormed away and took one of your vehicles would you call the police. Sounds like the erratic driving didn't start until the police started pursuit. I guess if you involve the police in something like this you have no control on how far it could escalate.
