Hahahahaha...Good call, KMA. Shooting your argument in the foot. Is I retarded? No. I have to say that this is hard to call. Of course the kid was driving and was a danger. Of course the cops are responsible for stopping people from endangering others. Of course the kid was doing something stupid.
Of course the police officer fired 10 rounds into a car he wasn't sure was a direct danger (thinkining one is sure is different than actually being sure). Of course a 13 year old doesn't look like an adult, so either the cop didn't see the perp or the cop made a horrible decision. Of course the cop aimed at the driver instead of the tires or some other non fatal target.
The kid didn't need to die and this is a terrible tragety. Either way, a 13 year old boy won't have a chance at life. That's the important part. Everything else is semantics.
