Rolling backwards? the car has a brake pedal and lever to put it in Park, earlier this guy ran away from a different officer; Just like the so-called "missing" hiker in Zion national Park; this story doesn't add up,

One sided so-call news.
Whatever happened to news investigating? Getting real facts . And not taking any sides .

[silentwisdom]

Another case to strengthen the argument for all police to wear cameras during altercations.

WE NEED MORE INFO. YESTERDAY THEY SAID THE COUPLE FLED ONE SCENE AND ENDED AT ANOTHER SCENE? WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON?

[educatededucated]

Let it be investigated before we make a judgment.

My comment about a middle aged white guy shot dead while driving his own Corvette and doing the same thing seems to have been deleted.
He was in forward gear though, so this is definitely racist.

Seattle, 2011 or so

We're going to need some clarification on "the car was rolling toward the officer." So it was a traffic stop but the car somehow managed to "roll" toward the officer? This is why you're called fake news. Give us the full story and video.

The news people could wait till all the facts come out before they report anything, the news loves to start drama

In the HISTORY of Chicago, has there ever been ONE b-lack person that has been able to follow simple instructions from the police???

WE MUST HOLD OUR JUDGMENT UNTIL WE SEE BODYCAM. The reports aren’t clear on whether Marcellis and his gf were officially detained, or if the “rolling car” going towards the officer justifies using a service weapon.

The vehicle was the weapon. Justified officer response.

This story should not have aired this way. If the car was coming towards the officer during a traffic stop. That officer is also responsible for the occupants of the vehicle they stopped. Not enough detail to report on this.

[edking]

The car was going towards the officer meaning the driver was intentionally trying to run over the cop. Hes unarmed but has a vehicle that can do harm to someone.

People haven't even seen the evidence and are already picking sides ...

[shaiyashock]

When the car was being used as a weapon? Let me guess you want to delete this post again?

[DirtyRottenTaylor]

Leave it to the race baiters. No facts, no problem.

[nismofury]

Need more info. The black kid ran into him with a car? Backed into him? What? Like slowly accidentally what? Of course a cop is going to open fire. Tell us exactly what happened.

Oh, so this report tells you NOTHING!

The officer needs to sue for wrongful termination.

Stop saying "Teen" 19 is adulthood across the nation. Its hurting the cause when people feel your being deceptive from the onset of the story, Making people distrust the media at this crucial point in time isnt a good strategy! When they read the headline they're expecting a child not a man.
