the cops fucked up, plain and simple.
Witness reports said 3 idiots were fighting, and this kid was nearby. All 4 got tossed. He kept arguing he wasn't with them, and that witnesses could verify this. Cops didn't want to hear it. Okay, that can happen to anyone.
Shooting him - big fvckup.
Doing a visual scan of his bleeding body, then immediately grabbing for cell phone cameras? - even bigger fvckup.
Would he have lived, with 3 cops delivering immediate medical attention? Maybe? We don't know, because they didn't bother with that. They sought to cover up the incident instead, then realized it was too big to cover up. Now they're all stalling to egt their stories straight
Those cops are pieces of shit, plain and simple. Anyone can make a mistake like the shooting - bad but it can happen - but LETTING HIM BLEED while searching fro cell phone cameras to grab - that's a far bigger problem. They CHOSE to let a man die while they covered their asses.
