Jeez, just looked up the video; they gave him so many chances. They let him chase one officer all the way down a hallway, outside, and almost around a corner, guns pointed at him the whole time. He had every chance to just stop.

Also, is this another of the classics, where they use a picture from when he was younger? Hard to tell in the grainy footage, but he certainly looks a bit bulkier then the picture they're using. He was only 15, but was he like 13 in the picture or something?

Anyway, it's still sad a kid died. And it's sad he made cops shoot him. Shitty situation all around, and very avoidable if he hadn't charged the police.
