His mom:
Bonnie Collar said she did not know why her son was acting that way when he was killed. She said he weighed 135 pounds and was 5-foot-7 with a wrestler's build.
"The first thing on my mind is, freshman kids do stupid things, and campus police should be equipped to handle activity like that without having to use lethal force," she said.
I think I agree. It was a college campus, not a low-income housing project. I know college students can be shits, but the campus police should also know that. Dude didn't even have Skittles to protect himself. And he didn't touch the officer (as reported, he might have) and the officer was right outside the station. He could have just locked the door...
