Parents call for help because the brat is attacking his sister, then when police come he attacks them. He gets his ass shot now everyone's knickers are in a wad.

I really don't know what more the police could have done except hired Robert Muldoon from Jurassic Park and had him use the tazer guns he used on the Raptors "SHOOT HER!!! SHOOT HER!!!"

Who called the cops?

Was it the family?

If so, maybe the family got exactly the result it wanted.

A 15 year old boy with a non firearm. I am sure the cops “feared for their life” and tasing was not an option.

Unfortunately the police are trained to always go for the kill if they are going to shoot. This is one of those cases where they could have shot the kid in the leg and ended the confrontation with little danger to themselves.

Your 15 year old is going around swinging a bladed gardening tool (I guess DM means weeding sickle?) in rage and anger so who do you call?

According to an official report, Gainer charged at the officers with the five-foot-long gardening tool as soon as they arrived.

The particular five foot long gardening tool that Gainer charged at the officers with is known as a scythe.

Google how many officers are wounded by bladed weapons and the term “tueller drill”.

Call the police if you want him shot and killed.

Don't want him shot and killed? Better figure something out.

Yes the family.

I guess they thought the kid would calm down as soon as he saw the police out there but no the kid came charging right at the officer with the garden tool out of the front door of their home. The officer tried to run back but in the end had no choice but to shoot.

If the taser wasn’t already in his hand, it was too late. And if he wasn’t a threat to the family, why did they call the cops?

Not sure what tool he was holding but there are some that could do a lot of damage with one blow.

Naturally BLMers are lying and trying to make a race case out of this.

“Just shoot them in the leg” is the most ill-informed argument that comes up when there is an officer involved shooting. The people making the argument should just state that they haven’t the slightest idea of what they’re talking about and be done with it.

This one was. Good thing the police were called. Better the teen was killed than an innocent family member.

When deadly force is used, the cops have every right to use deadly force back.

“This is one of those cases where they could have shot the kid in the leg…”

Did you forget the sarcasm tag, or do all your life experiences come from watching TV?

“No problem in life is improved upon by calling police.”

Whoa
If you see three thugs walking down your street breaking car windows you don’t want the police to help ?
