There is no need for a prolonged Special Investigations Unit probe into the police shooting of a 16-year-old getting out of the back of a car on Easter Sunday.
Leaked body-camera video shows very clearly that upon being asked to leave the car, the teen not only reveals a concealed handgun but fires it at an officer.
“Gun, gun, gun” and “take cover, take cover” can be heard out of the volley of wild-sounding gunshots from two officers in response.
They tried to then save the teen’s life. They pulled him out, pumped his chest, put a tourniquet around his gunshot wounds.
All for a suspect who tried to kill them.
But now that the facts are out and it’s on video that the youth pulled his gun and fired first, there needs to be a full explanation to the public that the police are free and clear of any wrongdoing in this case. It’s the other way around.
