Theetge said that the officer who shot the teen had said Ryan Hinton pointed the gun at him."Let me be very direct: We cannot allow individuals to flee from officers with a loaded firearm aimed at them,"

Look, I know we like to bash cops on here, but if you're in a life-or-death situation can you really rule out the risk of a teenager twisting his whole torso 180 degrees as though he had the spinal articulation of an owl so he can accurately fire his weapon that he definitely has while fleeing in the darkness?

"He was running away! He might have shot me!"
