    The last two shots are disturbing, but it looks like suicide by cop…

    If you watch the video, (painful to see) you would think with that many guns pointed at you..
    I counted 2 handguns and a shotgun…
    The thing to do is what ever they demand, unless you are too high to comply…
    The reaching his right hand behind his back was not the thing to do and is what got him shot the first time…
    The last two shots seemed unnecessary to me…
    Seems there are a lot of different ways they could have approached the driver and the situation.

        Any other non deadly options would have been a better option…
        Even the guy with the shot gun had bean bags in the chamber…
        They were close enough to use a Taser…
        If the police are in so fear of their lives that they feel compelled to shot and kill non armed citizens, even when no weapon is displayed or pointed towards them….
        maybe they need to find a less stressful job…

      This kid didn’t have to die. Once he was shot twice and down, he was no longer a threat.
