Usally when things like this happen, one of two things'll happen:
1. Evidence proves that the cop was in the right(albeit a bit excessive)
2. The cop is fired and/or jailed.
Already heard about this one. Why in the world would you shoot at a car full of kids? Sure they're probably drunk but kids make stupid decisions. At least aim for the tires and not the windows. Seriously this kid wasn't even driving, he was in the passenger seat.
Not defending the cops actions but its pretty damn hard to tell a teenager from a young adult at many times.

Well that I can agree with. Especially when it comes to girls. They don't look so young these days but the post says that "drunk teens" were reported. So we can assume he already knew they were teenagers.
According to the internet, last year in the US, 135 officers were killed in the line of duty, whereas police officers have killed a 1092 people. Which roughly means that in a violent confrontation with an officer of the law, wether you are a criminal, or armed, or not, you are ten times more likely to die than the cop you're facing. Not only this, but police in the US kill more people daily than other countries have in years. Even in countries who have a bigger population, like China for example, where one man was shot in 2016.
Source? Because those numbers aren't including "encounter killing". Encounter killing is justified instances where officers acting in self defense kill another individual. Most commonly it's used in the Indian underground to combat drug traffuckinh and other such things. That being said 500+ individuals have been reported as being killed in this manner with many going underreported/unreported
On 11 January 1982, the gangster Manya Surve was shot dead by police officers Raja Tambat and Isaque Bagwan at the Wadala area. This is often referred to as the city's first recognised encounter killing. From that period until early 2003, the police killed 1200 alleged criminals.
