I don't believe anything can be right or based off a technicality. The fact that you qualified your statement with "from what I understand" should tell you that. An unarmed boy was in the head and killed. The shooting is either justified or it is murder.

The boy having a criminal record is completely irrelevant. Did the officer know he had a criminal record when he shot him? Either way you can't shoot unarmed citizens in the head.

They shot him because he didn't follow orders.

The criminal record is revelant because it says he had previous encounters with the police.

Ridiculous
