Comment: "Several officers protected with a riot shield responded to a call..."

Riot shields, Tasers, and nightsticks all provide less than lethal defense.  A riot shield stops a bullet, thus a hammer thrown or swung.  What happened to teamwork?

The shooter was in the rear of their formation and shot five shots into a naked 128 pound kid.  Are cops so afraid that they shoot first and let their partners cover for them?

This is another lesson, NEVER call the cops, they will run your rap sheet before they arrive, shoot first, then blame you.  America is no longer free, unless freedom means safe in a police state where they can shoot you, your loved ones, or your dog with impunity and knee jerk conservatives will defend their "rights".
