“So then I guess you missed this part:”
No, I didn’t.
Had the kid began to turn to me w/weapon in hand, I would’ve fired.
Note, the article doesn’t say how FAST he turned. Was he slowly turning, putting his hands up as in “I surrender” or did he spin with weapon forward as in “Your gone sucka”.
Which is why I said:
“Not enough info in the linked story to make a call here, at least for me.”
What would you do?
A bullet that entered Lopez's right buttock, Casillas explained, traveled up into the boy's torso, proving that the shot was fired when Lopez was horizontal.
What does that say to you???
