Somewhat old news, but such a tragic story!
When James Comstock refused to buy his 19-year-old son a pack of cigarettes, the teenager took off with his dad’s truck. In an attempt to teach his son a lesson, Comstock called the police and reported his vehicle stolen.
The attempted lesson ended with police fatally shooting the man’s son, Tyler, on the Iowa State University campus. The father is now outraged and confused as to why police were so quick to use deadly force.
“He took off with my truck. I call the police, and they kill him. It was over a damn pack of cigarettes. I wouldn’t buy him none,” Comstock told The Des Moines Register on Tuesday. “And I lose my son for that.” Police reportedly began pursuing Tyler shortly after Comstock reported the vehicle stolen. The truck belongs to a lawn care company.
As Ames Police Officer Adam McPherson followed Tyler onto the ISU campus, the 19-year-old allegedly rammed McPherson’s car. The truck was eventually stopped, though police say Tyler revved the engine and refused orders to turn off the car. McPherson then fired six shots into the truck, hitting the teen twice and killing him, according to the Iowa state medical examiner’s office.

Trigger happy cops strike Again!? Seriously, his dad should have explained "It was a lesson" Before leading police on the chase.
