if he tossed the gun a second before he was shot then thats the reason he was shot....duh
It’s simply astonishing how much a stickler for accuracy the gaslight media can be when the narrative demands it: he wasn’t holding the gun when he was shot, but was holding it less than a second prior, but has zero concern for accuracy when it doesn’t, e.g. first responder Brian Sicknick was killed by being struck in the head with a fire extinguisher - except that he wasn’t.
A police officer sometimes only has seconds to decide if a suspect is armed and ready too use it. If the kid had just not run away and then drop his weapon at the last second he would probably be alive today.

My brother-in-law spent his entire career in the Chicago juvenile justice system, working mostly with gang members arrested for violent crimes. By the time they were 13 they were already lost. Most of them would kill him just as easily as shake his hand. He didn’t believe in rehabilitation and when he retired he wanted to be as far away from other people as possible. He gardens and goes fishing, the end result of a life spent surrounded by the worst humanity has to offer.
If a social worker had been sent then..........never mind.
The ‘tragic’ lad was carrying the pistol the entire time the officer was chasing him, had been involved in a shooting which is why he was being chased in the first place, tosses the pistol in a way that the officer can’t see less than a second before he was shot and we are told he was ‘unarmed’.
The state’s attorney, the same one who perpetrated the Smollett farce, fires the attorney who ‘implied’ that the little thug Toledo might have been armed when he met his demise. The world has been turned upside down.
Argue it all you want kids, the cop shot an unarmed kid who was surrendering. I don’t get away with doing that kind of thing and neither should a cop.
