Why is this headline so racial? It's like you are intentionally trying to rile up one race against another. Why does it have to be a white cop? Or a black teen? Wouldn't it have been just as bad of a situation if it was ANY cop, with ANY teen? You guys are trash news for real.

Race baiting today?

You planning on mentioning this poor teen was involved in a drive-by shooting before this stop?

Anytime a police officer shoots an unarmed person it should be criminally negligent homicide at least.

Of course.

'We don't shoot first and ask questions later,' the prosecutor added. Whose side is the prosecutor on?

High stakes makes shooting ok?

The outcome is by design.

Good.

😡😡

No 'surprise' surprise.

More racial divisiveness from our media overlords. We’re more divided by class and wealth than by race yet the lefty media pushes racial divisiveness hard every damn day.

😳😳 Again How many times does a man (black man) have to be shot in the back before police are put on notice that it’s not acceptable? If I make citizens arrest & Blackman runs can I shoot him in back & be acquitted? Think not!

So the black kid murdered himself? Good they convicted him for it then.

Should have never been charged

So sad.

having a gun while running away(in the car in this case,but unknowable)... is different than holding a gun or pointing a gun. the officer was never in danger. fleeing felon rule should change... no probable cause he was shooter or had knowledge... so doesnt really apply.

That is wrong. When are they going to be held accountable

😳

But his career is over ...

We gotta speak up on this stuff ShannonSharpe 💯

I'm not sure I want to live in a country that permits its police officers to shoot someone in the back. If a robber flees my home, can I shoot him in the back?

Ooh Wow, I felt this was a open/shit case...that Cop shot 1st, and asked questions 2nd! Damn..i hate this shit!

I guess you would be happier of the drive by shooters had kiIIed the cop?

Don’t run from the police

'High stakes' ....Didn't want to say 'potentially deadly' huh.

What's a 'high-stakes traffic stop'?

'high stakes' thats a new way to say felony traffic stop, drive by shooting suspects.
