Saw the video - I'm split on it.
Officer is literally threatening to shoot the kid while giving him simon says instructions - which probably confused the scared kid.
Right before he shot the kid, the kid's hands were going toward his waistband - trained (trigger happy) cops know what this means.
Noone wins in this case, it all came down to a split second decision.
The kid shouldn't of been messing around with a pellet gun in a window in public view (if true).
The cop should've created a better situation and commanded it better.
