They headed east on East 151st Street to find a chase unfolding, one man running down the middle of the street, another following with a handgun. The officers ordered the second figure to drop his gun. Instead, another shot rang out.One of the officers fired a single shot. The bullet struck the gunman in his lower left jaw, killing him.

Nice shot!

“The suspect, Shaaliver Douse, was believed to be part of a youth gang on East 169th Street that called itself the Nine.”

They are apparently now called “the Eight”.

There will be protests or outrage so long as it is a state official and not a free citizen doing the shooting.

Oh, no! Not another innocent child gunned down in cold blood!

As long as the God-like state is doing the shooting, liberals have no problem with it.

Thanks.

The photo, in classic Trayvon Martin fashion, is more than two years old.

Even at 12 years of age, he looks like a rough customer.

Fine—but I still think it’s silly.

I don’t mean to knock the police in any way, but what kind of a Police Department puts two Rookies a month out of school together to walk a beat.

Wouldn’t it make sense to put an older man with them to teach them the ropes?

Good question. When I was 14 I had to be in by 10 pm. That was both a rule in our home and the law. Where was this kid's mother and did she know her son ran the streets at all hours of the night?

Where are his parents?

He lived with his mother and "saw his father often".

I’d be more impressed if it was an aimed shot to the cranium. Then I read that the perp was an alter boi or something. Where is nannie bloomers and the MAIGgots on this one?

From the article:

The officers had been assigned to the Bronx as part of the Police Department’s Operation Impact, which matches rookie officers with more seasoned ones to patrol areas with especially high crime rates. City officials have credited the program with helping to reduce crime.

Yet both were rookies?
