The distinction between malum prohibitum (illegal because it's word, like drug use laws, which aren't inherently evil) and malum in se (an evil act itself) would need to be adhered to there.
Criminal scum being people that do evil acts. Lighting up a joint isn't evil (nor is growing, or even dealing), whereas stealing a car and knowingly putting lives at risk due to dangerous driving is evil. Whether that requires a death penalty is up for people to decide, but I wouldn't lose sleep over that person dying in the act.
It is still unclear if the car was actually stolen or if it was a case of one of the passengers or driver taking out their parents car while not allowed to or something like that and unclear if dangerous driving even took place, and from the way this article says the story doesn't add up seems like the cops where more liable to put people at risk by opening fire at a far distance from the vehicle(which the autopsy implies) what if someone got up early to walk their dog or take their trash out and had gotten hit by a stray bullet?
Also from various witness accounts and such it sounds like the car was parked at the time of the shooting...no one reports revving engines or a car speeding towards anything before shots where fired. I mean hell if someone steals a car or is driving a car that looks enough like a stolen one to raise police suspicion I certainly would not want them to abide by the shoot from very far away, think later policy around here. They could kill peoples pets or anyone who steps out for a smoke especially if its dark out that way...sounds at the very least they where very careless, not sure that is a job where people can afford to be careless about how they operate.
