Unless of course you're calling him a "boy" because you're a racist. Is that why you're using the word boy? Shame on you..." 18 year old boy: Really??

I'll meet you half way - I'll try to remember to call him a teenager - that is perhaps better. To me the single question is was the cops life in danger. You seem to be saying the cop was in the right because the teenager was a thug. If I am portraying your thinking wrong - please clarify. But that the teenager was a thug - or big looking - does not grant the cop a license to kill. I just can't twist the facts in any way to justify this shooting. You're right that I'm having a hard time understanding what you are talking about. What happened in the store doesn't play into this since they revealed right after the shooting that the cop did not know of the store incident. That is what makes the release of those videos such an obfuscation. In fact the dearth of information in support of the cop should give us all pause.
