The cop's body cam video is at one of the links.
Basically, cop gets a call about a suspicious vehicle in an alley. Cop approaches the vehicle and the kid inside bolts. Cop shoots the kid.
Damn.
Once again, deadly force is something you use when there are no other options. It's a matter of IMMINENT threat of death or great bodily harm. A kid running away from you DOES NOT constitute such a threat unless he turns to shoot or was just involved in a dangerous crime that you witnessed.
Just...yeah, the kid was, apparently, breaking into cars. Yeah, it seems the kid had an Airsoft pistol on him. Still, THERE WAS NO THREAT that warranted deadly force.

Another case of a cowardly cop blasting away and killing people... I bet it was within department policy and the cop will be back at work soon, ready to blow away another child.

It's highly unlikely that the cop will get a pass on this shooting. There was just SO much wrong with that shoot I can't imagine that the cops won't end up in striped pajamas.
The Tempe Officers Association, the police union, said on Friday they are going to wait before doing any interviews.

Cops view their guns as a substitute for their lack of physical fitness.
Saw this last night. The kid was carrying an air pistol that if I recall he stole out of the truck with other items. The officer said he fired because the kid turned towards him, however the body camera footage doesn't show that. And the fatal bullet hit him in the shoulder blade.
Doubtless the cop will claim he thought his life was in danger by the fleeing suspect.
I hope the family sues for millions and the cop does down for murder 1.
Cops will continue to kill people until the see that there are consequences.
