Car wasn't stolen, it was his mother's car. The mother on the phone with him said he was told he was pulled over for having air fresheners hanging from the rearview mirror, a favorite excuse of fucking bullshit cops. When they don't smell the weed to force you out of the car, they ask you to get out because they can't force you out. If you don't comply, then they think they have probable cause, even though they had no authority to ask you to leave the car.
But he did leave the car anyways. And they still shot him. They said he had a warrant out for his arrest, and then tried to evade police when they tried to arrest him. We'll see, I guess. If it's a non-violent warrant and he runs, you're supposed to let him go and pick him up later. Instead, this kid got in his car, and started to drive away, and the cop drew down and shot him, WITH A PASSENGER IN THE CAR, IN A NEIGHBORHOOD WITH LOCAL KIDS PLAYING AROUND THEM.
But I'll wait for the resident racists to say "this man should have just followed the [illegitimate, unreasonable] orders of the police officers and then he wouldn't have been shot!" Or, my personal favorite, "He could have been reaching for a gun in his car!" despite there being no evidence of a gun. Apparently having the vapors and a paranoia about black people being violent is justification for murder.
