12. The PD originally put out a false story, that the car was "aggressively" reversing

toward the cop, ignoring repeated verbal commands to stop.

The only reason that lie was retracted is that the body came on the killer and another cop showed clearly that it was not what happened.

BTW, the kid was apparently a good student as well as a promising athlete. The stories emphasize his athletic talent and commitment, but he also had a 3.5 GPA.

AND he his two teenaged brothers who were also in the car will never get over seeing their little brother shot in the head right next to them, for no reason at all (except for the "crime" of existing while black).
