The 19-year-old who was shot dead on a Los Angeles highway was once in the city’s Police Department Explorer Academy, but had been discharged because of disciplinary reasons, it has been revealed.
Though it is unclear why Abdul Arian was removed from the program, police confirmed the program teaches students who are interested in careers in law enforcement.
Arian was killed on live television after a dramatic chase down Highway 101.
Arian’s uncle, Hamed Arian, told the Los Angeles Times that his nephew aspired to be a police officer.
He said: ‘He wanted to be an LAPD cop, and the LAPD killed him.’
The dramatic video shows an LAPD police patrol car smashing into Arian's car as he does a failed U-turn in the road before he flees simulating pointing a weapon at chasing police.
News helicopter footage from CBS Sky 2 shows Arian jumping out of his car, turning and fleeing the scene running backwards.
He then repeatedly spins around in a combat stance just before he was shot on the US 101 Freeway in Woodland Hills, LA.
But a different picture is emerging of the man who was killed after the high-speed car chase.
His Facebook page suggests a different story with Arian posting comments and pictures which shed light on his interests and lifestyle.
In one on April 5, he posted a status update, saying: 'Just came back from the shooting range.'
There is also an enlarged photo of his car posted on the page.

I was reading somewhere else that the cops put 90 holes on his body ....they shot the kid more than a 100 times ....in less than 20 seconds....and that to me is what is truly bizarre ...That is why every time I read the news about a cop getting kill I call it Karma.
