I don't particularly think this was a good kid. But what is being released from the police department, and how, is entirely bullshit. The videotape of him in the store? It was highly edited - go watch the full version and tell me whether what the PD put out was reflective of the entire situation. The "kid was a suspect in a robbery" info release? That's a pretty blatant attempt to influence the jury pool since the officer did not know this and therefore is inadmissible in court. This pot information? Straight up character assassination. And it doesn't explain why the officer fired at least 6 shots, including (likely) the last two to the head to an unarmed subject who wasn't close enough to get powder burns.
