…And the teenager tried to take the guys gun from him. No one on this earth can tell what was going through the guys mind to say if he did the right thing or not, or if the situation even warranted deadly force. The police dept did their own investigation and no charges were filed. The media has hyped this so out of proportion using the race card it isn’t even funny. Last week a kid in Schenectady was found innocent of shooting 2 teenagers when there was 15-20 people who witnessed the crime but wouldn’t say shit, didn’t hear shit about that case because all involved was black not saying its right but WTF. Kids are dying, teach your children not to be hood-rats and avoid situations in the first place.
