He's not doing himself any favors by making that super creepy face for his mugshot...

  He didn’t. Like many teenagers do, especially in this kind of situation, he was looking down, not making eye contact. The police then order him to look at the camera to get their mugshot. We can probably assume they didn’t ask nicely. It’s to the advantage of police that they take (and release) the very worst possible mug shot of their perp when they can get reactions like yours.

    lol it's not a beauty contest. if you line up for a picture, expect a picture to be taken. you don't get to pick the best shot out of ten.

  I am going to guess that the police or media outlets chose the most nefarious looking photo they could find. They have that type of power to drive a narrative. It's the same type of bias as when the mugshots of criminal police officers are taken, they are allowed to clean themselves up and put on a suite. It shouldn't be like this, but it is. I kind of like how some European countries don't allow the photos or names of suspects to be released before the verdict. I also understand that it limits transparency and don't know how to deal with that.
