Recklessly backing up or "approaching him like an officer" does not begin to examine the logistics of what I laid out. It does not examine how a man controls a man twice his size while sitting in a car.
And...not that I care to even get into the second paragraph of your post but.....he was just 18...so..criminal record as an adult would not cover much time....I heard something about a juvenile record...and a cop shooting a kid with his hands up while an eye witness stands closely by doesn't make much sense either....so whatever on all that. None of all that either was really means much to me...record or not...we are talking about that day..and that day alone....same with the smokes...non issue.
