American police officers are cowards and criminals, part 8

This case would be hilarious if it weren't so tragic and infuriating.

The police arrive at a parked car that's reportedly stolen, and there's some teen sleeping in the driver's seat.

They try to silently open the driver's side door, but it's locked. In any normal world they would have knocked on the car window to wake him up and tell him to get out of car. But these are not normal police officers. These are cowards.

So these 50-IQ former school bully cowards retreat and brainstorm among themselves how they could get the guy out of the car without him driving off. Of course the idea of boxing the car in with police cars doesn't occur to them, because why would it. (This even though there's plenty of space in front of the car, and there's another car parked right behind it.)

So this one cop has the brilliant idea of tiptoeing towards the car from behind like a cartoon villain, trying to open the back door of the car to get inside. This would be hilarious if it weren't for the murder that's about to happen.

So one of the cops gets inside, there's some kind of scuffle, the teenager starts the car and starts driving off. (His motivations are not clear from the video, but given that he was suddenly awakened from deep sleep by people being in his car and manhandling him it's very possible he panicked and instinctively tried to drive away in his stupor, confusion and panic. People don't usually think very clearly when they are suddenly startled and awakened from deep sleep. It may take several minutes for them to fully wake up and become fully aware of what's happening.)

Thus, the cop takes out his gun, tells the teenager to stop or he'll shoot, and seconds later just shoots him repeatedly in the back, making the car crash onto a house.

All this because the cops acted like complete cowards and had the IQ of a house plant. And once again cops murder a teenager and get away with it, because they are cops. Any other person would have got life in jail, or worse.

Perhaps quite ironically this is a case where their normal cowardly behavior would have actually been better than what they did. In other words, call the entire police precinct and have 30 cops point their guns and automatic assault rifles at the car and shout aggressively at the driver to get out. Not that either approach is very good or safe, but from the two possible cowardly approaches this one would have had a higher chance of the teenager walking out of it alive rather than be murdered by cops (not a significantly higher chance, but higher still.)
