Nothing happy about this.
It seems that the kid was attacking somebody with a bat and the police shot him. The woman who was killed may have been a bystander or a family member of the person he was attacking.
Nothing happy at all, and I hate it when people make ugly jokes about things like this. And having known cops who’ve had to shot the mentally ill or psychotropically disturbed - not to mention having known what happens to them in the press and the courts afterwards - I’d say this is a seriously unhappy event.
“I hate it when people make ugly jokes about things like this”
Ya know what I hate even more than “jokes about things like this”? I hate the evil leadership in our society who ENGINEERS these events, scripts the responses, plans and funds the riots, and writes the “press” coverage in order to to quicker achieve their goals to burning this whole civilization into the ground. That’s what I “hate”. People on this forum who make “jokes” are merely expressing their outrage regarding the above.
It seems every year more and more people engage in anti-social behavior, for whatever reason and the cops are called upon to resolve the situation. They respond knowing they may be called upon to make a split second decision(s) with life ending results. They are laying their life on the line, their careers, their future, their family's future on the line 'to serve'. When they take action, it is final, no do-overs.
Who in his right mind is so driven 'to serve' as to open themselves and their families to such risk?
