Wait, so the kid resists arrest, takes the cops baton, beats the cop in the neck, so the cop draws his weapon and fires multiple times. Seems like the definition of self defense.
Is that the officer's version or a witness's version?

I believe there were witnesses. They said the cop looked distraught after the scuffle.
Haha, read the end of the article. Looks like no other cops liked him.
Manney also has applied for duty disability, saying the Red Arrow Park shooting and its aftermath resulted in severe post-traumatic stress disorder. He joins a growing number of officers suspected of misconduct who have applied for duty disability claiming debilitating stress, sometimes even citing the department's investigation or media coverage as the cause of that stress.
If approved, Manney's retirement — which would include about 75% of his salary, tax-free — will take precedence over his dismissal because he applied two days before he was fired.
A baton to the neck/head is considered lethal force. Police are trained to not intentionally strike that area unless you also have the authority to kill them.
My favorite part of this story is how after killing a homeless guy cops already verified was no problem. He goes and claims disability 2 days before being fired. 75% of his salary tax free for life.
Hard to imagine why citizens are getting fed up with their police departments when story after story comes out like this.
No matter who saw what or how it turns out African Americans distrust our criminal justice system. Period! I know it's hard for white people to understand. It just doesn't matter anymore. It doesn't matter if this cop was protecting himself. He killed a black young man.
Yeah... that's just the cherry on top. What a pile of horseshit. He'll win it too I bet -- power of the union.
