There was a shooting at an apartment complex. A police officer from the Christian College Campus saw a guy driving erratically and says he had to stop him. He was waiting for assistance (he reported the wrong street to dispatch causing a delay) when the college student started to resist. The officer took out his baton and tried to subdue him. The guy took the baton and hit the officer. The officer took out his gun and Smacked the student with it which caused him to drop the baton. The guy continued to resist and the officer shot and killed him. Several shots were fired. An upstairs guy said he heard the officer say stop resisting and the student being sarcastic when the officer said he would shoot. Al of this is what the cop said happened as his dashboard camera was not in the car because of the weather the glue didn't stick and it fell off.
I have a natural inclination not to trust the police so all of this sounds pretty sketch to me. I mean not only did he report the wrong street, he also had this guy in his apartment complex where there was no one to watch only hear whatever he decided to scream out. And why would you go to such a secluded area without your camera. And then the fact that he didn't like shoot the guy in the leg, he shot him several times killing him. However, at the same time it sounds kind of plausible and maybe the media is just trying to make it sound bad by starting out with, his friends say he was the gentlest guy we know. The fact that he was valedictorian in high school though, and he was a newscaster for the college, along with being on the dean's list. I think he was probably just drunk or he had some mental issues and was intentionally trying to commit suicide by cop.
