The autopsy results on Paul O’Neal show that he was shot in the back. And he was completely drug free. And unarmed.
In other parts of the country, a teenager stealing a car is called joyriding since he doesn’t intend to keep it. Sometime it’s even a misdemeanor, that “Boys will be boys” mentality. But whether you choose to call it joyriding or car theft, a misdemeanor or a felony, it shouldn’t be punishable by execution.
In other parts of the world, the punishment for stealing a car is to cut off the hands of the thief. Only in America will you find a massive armed response to an unarmed teenager stealing a car with a shoot out between police officers ending with a teenager shot in the back by a cop with his body cam turned off.
