Sad that one of such a young age no matter of what colour. has to end it in such a way,
But this "American cop on black shooting" seems to be totally justified.

Some local reaction - not everyone agrees (Baltimore Sun) :-
Many residents in the neighborhood gathered around the scene after the shooting occurred to criticize the police — particularly the plainclothes officers called "knockers" who do street enforcement in the area.
"If their job is to protect and serve, it could have been done a different way," said Travis Raye, 27. "It's like we're all going to end up dead. ... We don't feel safe in our neighborhood."
Tavon Cooper, 34, said the suspect was fleeing and did not pose a threat to the officers, and questioned why they chose to chase him.
Roy Daley, 30, said he witnessed part of the chase, and said the officers were the ones acting erratically — including driving the wrong way on Monroe Street and whipping their marked vehicle through an alley.
Daley said the officer chasing the suspect "didn't say stop, didn't say freeze." Then, he said, he heard several shots.
"I mean, I was in shock, for real. Like, I just stood there. I seen people drop to the ground, but, like, I was just in shock, for real. I couldn't believe that just happened," Daley said. "I hit the corner, and I seen little homie right there in the middle of the street."
