Supposedly. Are you aware of the allegations of planting evidence thrown at many, many police officers in the good ol’ US of A? It is a known issue and I’ll take a criminals word before a police officers.
It’s America, everyone has a gun. It’s a constitutional right, not an excuse for cops to murder whomever they want to. They usually want to kill people of color and always want to kill poor people.
Carrying a gun while roaming the streets isn’t allowed everywhere, and neither is pointing them at people - especially police officers while they’re trying to detain you for stealing a car.
For clarities sake, there is body cam footage where it alleges he points the gun at the officer while fleeing.
Now I haven’t seen the footage that corroborates this and the footage I did see doesn’t back this statement up (nor does it exclude it, it’s from the POV of another officer)
However the dad apparently left viewing the body cam footage with their lawyer and then went and did this.
I’d expect the body cam footage to show anyone who isn’t a cop that he was running and had a gun in his possession and it likely doesn’t matter from the perspective of the cops if it was actually pointed at him or not.
Basically my bet is the body cam footage corroborates whichever side of the story your want it to.
The outcome of guns is shots fired and folks dead, unfortunately.
Huh? The kid stole a car and was fleeing and armed with a loaded gun.

It’s happened on camera many times with zero charges filed or consequences for the pigs planting their own truffles

Fleeing seems like the operative word in that sentence to me.
Fleeing doesn’t give you a free pass to be armed with a gun and aim said gun at police officers.
“FAFO”
