The "age" has nothing to do with the story! Why is "anyone" shot by police unless it's absolutely necessary?
1. Clearly, some people do try to elicit an emotional response by referring to s 20-year old as a "boy." Consider this headline or thread title: Boy Shot By Salt Lake City Police. No reasonable person would expect that a 20-year old was the subject of the story.
2. Since you apparently know details that have allowed you to come to the conclusion that this shooting was not "absolutely necessary,' please feel free to share them with the rest of us.

“It would be wholly inappropriate to take the most vital piece of evidence that we have and put it out to the public prior to the officer having some due process”
We dont know, but I would suspect this one does not play out well for the officer at all based on that statement alone.
It brings up an interesting question when it comes to Constitutional Rights however. All citizens, even the Police, have a right to envoke the 5th Amendment and not releasing anything that would incriminate them.
How does that work in a career where everything you do you are video taping yourself? Sure, the camera belongs to the department, and you the employee are charged with using it.
I guess Im just wondering if the video in question is considered akin to saying something that would incriminate you, or is it more like regular evidence, like shell casings or something?
20 yr old boy? Haha - why not say 20 yr old child?
