What about a host of firearm and attempted murder charges. This guy should never be a police officer or be permitted to own guns.

To clarify, he got the wrong car, just starting shooting for absolutely no reason. Life in a gun culture.

3. Delayed road rage? He said the car fled from him the other day

But crazy. Why not wait for backup? Why just open the door? Why initiate violence instead of explaining the reason for the demand to get out of the car? Why shoot?

Just crazy.

The cities have trigger happy cops, the countryside is full of trigger happy rednecks......

I have no place to go......

There is no refuge save for the desert.... maybe.

The walking time bomb in this video should never have been allowed a gun or a badge. And should be jail right now.

14. Evading arrest and assault on a police officer. Supposedly he hit the cop with his car door.

As he was fleeing from the barrage of bullets.

Also, this kid was not the person the cop had chased on a previous occasion. Mistaken identity.

Luckily, the kid's girlfriend who was in the car with him was not shot. Wouldn't be surprised if she was charged as an accessory, but as far as i know that hasn't happened. Yet.

17. I've got no idea how to police, but even I can see a series of boneheaded mistakes here.

I'm sure any jury will easily see the same.

Plus, he looks like a white kid. Bonus points from our legal system. And if he has a squeaky clean record...

It will be young Tommy taking his best gal Suzy out for a burger and soda when some crazy cop pulls a Son of Sam on them. Bret Kavanaugh could win this case.

But whatever it is, it's not enough. If he's got four bullets in him, his life has completely changed from this.
