If somone has me on the ground attacking me and i can get a shot off, you better believe I would. The kid may or may not have been innocent but the media has painted this picture that he was just a little innocent 17 yo kid that just wanted some tea amd skittles. The forst picture of him that came out was him at like 12 not a 6'3" man. What of he was all drugged up or drunk? Would that change your mind? Just because someone is unarmed doesnt mean they cant be deadly. At the same time, just because you look shady doesnt mean that you are up to no good. Imo if he was on a power trip and wanted to shoot a black guy, he wouldn't have called the cops in the first place.
