This reminds me of the times the cops shot and killed other hostages like that delivery driver (UPS or Fedex, can't remember) or that girl who was kidnapped, ordered to run towards the cops, and the cops shot her for running towards them.

How much do you want to bet that the cop would not have taken the shot if the hostage had been a white kid.

Another dead black kid to an American cop is just killing them pre-emptively to save time later.

Fucking cops are scumbags, and body cams don't seem to be making any difference because they just don't care if they get caught; they've got the union protecting them.

Can't hold anyone hostage if there's no hostage. Brilliant police work!
