It's simple all right.

I can condense nearly every one of Zekes posts on this issue down to eight words.

"You do this to me, you get shot".

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.
