Shoplifting a pack of cigarettes and shoving a store clerk doesn't warrant the use of lethal force against a fleeing target. Realize that the people that 'protect you' are nothing more than filthy animals with ever-increasing stockpiles of military-grade hardware and a superiority complex.
I am saying why the kid may have attacked him. He robs a place and 10 minutes later is stopped by a cop? He's connecting the dots. No hard evidence exists that he was fleeing as of yet.
That this kid would be acting normally when accosted by a cop 10 minutes after robbing a place seems unlikely. I think, but don't know, he did attack the cop, so the cop shot him.
From what I know so far, I anticipate this will play out like Trayvon.
