The kid complied and was killed, if the cop didn't want him to comply he shouldn't have given the order. The kid was no threat when shot.His life was threatened by the gun the teen was holding. And by the quick "turn to shoot" that the teen did.
Yes, we can sit down in comfy chairs and pick it apart frame by frame. And realize the teen had tossed the gun. That his hands were empty as he turned. He was already dead by then. The gun and the movement is all it was. The decision to shoot is in the moment, and how a person is expected to react given the information they have at the time. You are misusing the information available after the fact. Rather than placing yourself in their shoes.
