You have to hand it to them. They like to shoot and kill anybody they have a chance to. And of course the kid just happened to be black.
Not really, statistically speaking your about as likely to be struck by lightning as you are to be an innocent person shot and killed by a cop.
There's also this recent very sad story... Panicked rookie NYPD officer fatally shoots unarmed 28-year-old man in Brooklyn's Pink Houses project The uniformed officer fired a single, fatal shot into Akai Gurley's chest moments after he and his girlfriend entered a stairwell in the Pink Houses on Linden Blvd. in East New York on Thursday night, police said. Gurley was not armed, a police source said. 'They just pulled a gun and shot him in the chest,' Gurley's girlfriend said. http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york...28-brooklyn-housing-project-article-1.2018724
The shooting happened at a rec center. Someone reportedly called police saying there was a male on the playground waving a gun and pointing it at people. Police say when they arrived they told the boy to put his hands up, but say he did not obey the order. "The young man had the weapon in his waistband. He pulled the weapon out. One of our officers fired two shots, striking the young man," Deputy Chief Ed Tomba with the Cleveland Police Department told WOIO. And Mom has already hired an attorney ... She shouldn't get a penny .. had he obeyed the cop he'd be alive.
It's tragic that a 12 year old was killed ... but damn, why don't people listen and do as they're instructed?
In their feeble minds, the cop is commanding them to do a thing because he's racist. It has nothing to do with them doing something wrong, it's all about race. Complying with the officer's instructions, to them, would be "submitting to the white man!" Notice that in ALL of these stories that the media has used to support their narrative of cops gunning down innocent black males --- the story always contains a black male who's being confrontational and non-compliant. And to the OP, I hope you don't expect cops to check to see if a perp has a real weapon before deciding to shoot an armed suspect. BB guns look very much like real guns.
911 dispatchers told the cop that the gun most likely wasn't real. They knew it was probably a toy. What 12 year old runs around shooting a real gun? (No one had heard any gun shots at all). Cops just like to kill innocent people. Mom should get at least 2 million for this. Maybe more. They shot him because he was black. It's obvious. It happens all the time. Cops have gone ballistic. Maybe their paranoia is running too deep?
So it's okay if they shoot YOUR son if he is holding a toy gun? And what kind of suspect was the 12 year old BOY? Was he a dangerous criminal? He was just a freakin' kid. Next shooting will be a 6 year old. Just wait and see. The cops have this "shoot first, ask later" mentality even when it comes to little kids. I think they are all fucked up in the head.
