Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, who pledged the department's "full cooperation" with the investigation, told reporters the shooting troubled him.
"If it's an honest mistake, we'll get them training, coaching, mentoring and get them back out there. But if it was intentional misconduct, then they have to be held accountable for it," he said.
So a cop can kill you by "honest" mistake and all he gets is more training, coaching and mentoring to do the same "honest" mistake all over again.
Honest mistake or not, if you kill someone, you deserve a long prison sentence.
Obviously, that's how law works for civilians but not for cops who are the law.
Where else it's as easy as "oops honest mistake" and get away with murder?
Just so I'm clear on this.... The guy is in a stolen car, tried to elude police in said car, smashed into multiple police cars, almost ran at least one officer over with car, fled on foot after the car was disabled.... and it's the cops fault he's dead?
Gimme a break, your actions have consequences and if you are going to act like that expect a short life span.

Of course one less thug in the street but cops are not judge, jury, executioner.
Their job is to make arrest, not execute.
The concern is, it can happen to anyone, not everyone is a career thug in these incidents due to the trend.

Shocking! Disturbing! Inexcusable! Needless!
But the victim had a hand in it. He ran from police. If he had acted like a law abiding citizen he would still be here today.

Was the guy following the basic rules of not getting your ass kicked and/or shot by the police?
1.) Obey the law
2.) Stop Immediately
3.) Turn that sh-t off
4.) Be polite
5.) Don't run away
6.) Stay in your car with your hands on the wheel
7.) Shut the f--k up
Seems like he broke rules 1, 2. 3, 4, 5 and 6.
All joking aside, if you're acting like this guy then you've opened yourself up to getting shot by the police. The police might feel they are justified in doing so because you are threatening them and innocent citizens near you.
There's a lot of outrage over the police shooting folks lately, but pretty much all of these folks were exhibiting behavior that put them at extremely high risk of getting shot by the cops. It's not like the cops took a guy down, cuffed him and them shot him in the back of the head while he was lying on the ground.

The standards for policing should be a little higher than restraining from taking people down, cuffing them and shooting them in the back of the head. Don't ya think?
