These young black males do not realize behind the wheel of a car COP do an instant license check. Im surprised you made that statement in your first sentence. He was on the road until the officer shot him in the back then the car crashed into someone home. He needed some more time to process his situation to know that he had to give up. The cop that ended up in the backseat was told not go in the car, is what you have to worry about they do not follow instruction: to hot headed. Once he was in the car he was just as panicked as the teen. He was not trained enough or patient enough to tap the kid on the shoulder and say dude calm down what are you going to do kidnap me...the teen needed some help to think he would have stopped once he processed it.

You always get what you ask for...

[@darlasutton6458]

Go figure...here's a novel idea..don't engage in criminal behavior and this type of incident wouldn't happen

[@brandond5963]

or if you do, understand when your're caught and give up, its not worth your life but these people dont value their own lives it seems

[@alexkee9027]

The mom - "he was such a loving boy and wouldn't hurt anyone".

[@FACTORYMAN84]

The mother of this child needs to be held accountable. The police tried to arrest this child without harming him. What would happen if he bailed out and left the officer in the back seat. It's a hard call. But I have no problem with this shooting. The attempted to arrest him and repeatedly asked him to stop.

[@bryceerickson603]

Why didn't they put a car in front of the stolen car. Duh

[@compota8]

Amazing ending

[@ilykere313]

Its insane how many Americans there are in comments justifying this. I am from Finland and here police never use firearms. And we have lower criminal rate. This applies to several other countries too. This police officer could have pulled up handbrake or maybe hold him by neck from behind forcing him to hit breaks. Shooting is not the best option and its insane how much you justify it in America because he is criminal. He is human too and ended up on that path because something happened. Get to people like that mental health help, not bullets.

[@andysemi382]

The population of Finland is also a small fraction compared to the Untied States. Smaller population usually makes it easier to not only control the criminal population but also fund police training, teaching kids properly and having lower poverty levels. All of which I believe Finland is able to do for itself. You are comparing an apple to a water melon. Also don't think that this doesn't make Americans sad, it 100% makes us sad that we can't get along because we are all humans. There is just a lot of hate that is going around and it's the leading problem of all this chaos.

@@andysemi382 I understand more people = more crime but I mean as a percentage. In Europe murder rate per 100 000 capita is 1.71 while in USA its 5.9. And there is about as much people in Europe than USA if we don't include Russia. Thats huge difference and its easy to point fingers at the criminals but problem is typically in other things of society. We as Europeans really wonder when will people in USA understand that police using weapons means criminals have to aswell. If police tried using other methods maybe criminals won't have to rely on carrying a weapon because their life is not threatened. It makes huge difference when you are scared for your life vs scared to go to prison. Being scared for your life makes you do literally anything. Even as stupid as shooting a police.

[@andysemi382]

@@ilykere313 Unfortunately that is how it is here. Even with strict gun laws criminals still get guns. Example would be New York, strict gun laws but still an extremely high crime rate. You are also right on the other factors of society as well. People here should be taught better.

[@ilykere313]

@@andysemi382 Yeah it must more complicated than just ban weapons and no more crime. I know some in Europe think that way but its not that simple. Its a long process but I think change has to come from the law enforcement giving an example instead of fighting fire with fire. Then maybe in tens of years the direction may change slowly so that criminals can do crimes without weapons. Because criminals and crime will always exist. Its matter of how you protect it from civilians that matter the most.

You don't have blacks. Sorry reality of the real world is to tough for you people

[@thergoezthatman7004]

110% justified?

[@FLo-jc7ig]

I just watched this video 2 days ago and nobody's faces were blurred, and it showed the actual shooting of this kid, and the the officer getting out of the back seat, shouting "show me your hands", "don't move". So why this video has these cops blurred and the actual physical shooting of this kid not shown really puzzles me !!! What's going on here???..

[@churchofseabass9227]

this will make an interesting ASP video

Another fine outstanding African American citizen

He didn’t do anything wrong and he was good kid!

[@bobsmurda119]

Ms. Martin... Sorry for your loss but your son was commiting a crime and they used deadly force.... He wasnt murdered... He shoulda known the risks... If anything Ms. Martin... Where were you when he was running around the streets stealing cars?

[@MissEss00]

Martin was a no good criminal who chose to put the officer's life in danger. No loss to society.

[@rossitt08]

If the police had done their job and blocked the car in knowing it was stolen, this wouldn't have happened. And the people saying he deserved to die are nothing but scum

[@annomyous1]

His momma raised needs to accept she raised him wrong.

“If he take out just let him go but don’t get inside the car”

[@Freedomishere-im6ug]

If a cop can take his glove off to shot him that close the officer should be charged with murder

[@BROKEN-PILOT]

Bad planning on the cops - bad decision on the kid = tragic end.
