So it looks like the minivan was backing out normally and the officer just yelled stop and fired. Not sure if the driver even had time to comprehend what was happening as you usually are not ordered by a police officer to stop while you are backing out of your garage.

The violent actions of the vehicle after the first few shots was probably because the driver had been shot.

Let's just start by ignoring the fact that the cop shot and killed the kid to prevent him from committing suicide...

Why was his gun drawn in the first place to shoot the kid? Park your f***ing car in the driveway, where's he gonna go then? Or did you just not want to get "your" shiny cruiser scratched? Yeah, better idea to just kill the kid.

Just for fun, at that range, on a vehicle moving slower than my 57 y/o 295 pounds can *crawl*, SHOOT THE f***ING TIRES OUT. Hell, pull your knife out and SLICE them. Nah, just kill the kid, he's gonna (probably not though) gonna commit suicide, so it's basically a freebie.

And since when does an opening garage door automatically mean "f***, I'm gonna get run over in 10-15 seconds, so rather than move off to the side I'll just shoot (mag dump) the slow moving car."

Cop is a homicidal lunatic and deserves rope and a pole. I'm sure @Woodsy will soon be along to explain things though.

ETA: Kid should have used his white privilege.

Will/did this officer obtain PTSD disability stipend as a reward for John's killing similar to Daniel's killing?

Maybe these two and the "Coward of Broward" can get together and form a company called "How to be or ignore a killer".

Thats very sad. Parents must feel terrible. Cop is a coward. Sometimes the best way to clear your head is to go for a drive im sure thats what the kid was doing.. Robjax and Radtekk's take on it is probably exactly how it happened.

It’s almost like the cops logic is that by killing him he successfully prevented a suicide, so he’s doing the right thing.

Id have to see all the body cams and other evidence to determine why they felt justified to shoot. At this point it’s 50/50

What a joke, they’re all just in it to get paid and get out.
