Still does not sound like the cop was wrong to shoot. I haven't seen the video, but it sounds like the cop did things right. Kid is naked middle of the night and beating on t he door, obviously something is wrong with him. Cop comes outside, weapon in hand, I would too and have many times while investigating noises outside. You never know, could be an ambush out there. Once he is outside, gun in hand, the kid has no weapon, but a crazy motherfucker can be dangerous just the same. Kid comes at the cop instead of doing what he was told, comes at the cop, cop has no taser because he isn't trained to use it, doesn't sound like he has time to change weapons to baton or spray. Think of this, the cop has his weapon pointed right at the kid, the kid knows this and still moves in on the cop.
