So I read this article today
Basically a teenager kidnapped his baby from its caretaker, called the baby’s mother and said he was going to harm the baby, amber alert went out cops chased his car, he stabbed the baby and crashed into a building and then took off running leaving the baby behind. While the cops were chasing him they shot him as it looked like he was breaking into a house.
I don’t know law very well but I always thought you had to be a lethal threat to the cops before they shot you. Meaning like you had to approach them with some lethal weapon brandished before they fired. Maybe this isn’t the case, either way I was surprised to learn that he got shot at while running away even though he hadn’t attacked/threatened the cops in any way. As I was wondering about the law, I also thought “maybe the guy was black.” Anyways I googled him and he turned out to be black.
