Watching the video, he seems to shift between euphoria and concern, like he knows what's going to happen at the end of the chase.
I have a friend (who is black, which, I think is relevant) and she was sad, not understanding why they tazed him and then emptied their magazine(s), didn't try CPR, etc. I challenged her to re-watch the video, looking for clues that there was more to the situation than just some kid killed for running from the cops (what was his mental state, etc.). And, to watch it as if she were an officer, and to understand how officers are trained for these situations (and, better, ask an officer, so she can learn).
Narratives are being written on both sides.
