"Belmar said one of the men pushed the officer back into his squad car and the struggle began (emphasis added). Belmar said at least one shot was fired inside the police car."

Leaving out any racial or age-related undertones, if you do this to me?

You get shot.

Until you are no longer a threat.

If this winds up back out in the street because I am winning? That's on you. There is absolutely no justification -- even if I am harassing or threatening you -- for following me into a car where I can no longer do either. We can kick this around all week but there is no escaping that the kid assaulted law enforcement, who either retreated or was made to retreat, who then used deadly force to secure his own safety.

What, if anything, that happened before this (even if dastardly law enforcement behavior) eradicates not that there was no struggle until IN THE CAR. At face value, which is not always accurate, I do not see a problem with shooting this kid: beyond the shittiness that it actually occurred.
