When they yell police, you stop. This kid got himself killed.
Just another casualty in the "war on drugs".
According to court documents, the teen was unaware of what was happening when an officer not in uniform, not identifying himself, rushed him. The teen proceeded to run, as anyone being chased by an unidentified man might do.
The officers may have a different story, but his reaction seemed appropriate.
All the way to post 6 before we got “blame the victim”.
Not even close to a record.
A stranger walks up to you on the street, common clothes, no identification. You pass them without incident. Moments later, you hear, “Police! Freeze!” You turn quickly to notice that same stranger is running at you. You mean to tell me you wouldn’t run?
I’m sorry, I’m not going to stand around to see if a charging bull is a cop or a thug trying to roll me. I’m going to pull my CCW and fire until it stops.
It’s going to be funny when cops kill someone you care about.
Ja wohl, Herr Obersturmfuhrer!
HOW DARE YOU DEFEND POLICE SHOVING A SHARP OBJECT DOWN A KIDS THROAT. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU.
“When they yell police, you stop.”
What happens when I, the mugger yells “police”? Do you the intended muggie stop? That’s crazy talk...
yeah, that makes any action or behavior by LEO just fine. The cop should’ve just shot him in the back because he ran right?
Story says the cop was plain clothes and did not show a badge.
by shoving a sharp object down his own throat and starving his own brain of oxygen - you effin boot likker
They are alleging that the police killed him by cutting off his oxygen, presumably he had been stopped BEFORE that happened. Duh.
No one not in uniform should be trying to make an arrest. If you don’t even look like a cop, why would i believe you? I’m reminded of the ABC officers who attacked two college girls over water.
Pigs are so freaking stupid. Worse, never accountable.
Another freeper who loves the taste of Kiwi?
You sir are unbelievably callous.
1) It is proper in napscoorditors world to execute a death sentence for running from plainclothes, unidentified police. Yep, gotta die for that.
2) Whether or not the kid had swallowed a bag, I sincerely DOUBT the police are trained for the medically invasive ‘procedure’ that has been described. Are they trained in your area naps? If not, I would definitely do all you can to walk around with your mouth wide open, showing you haven’t swallowed anything. Lest you get yourself killed for the CRIME of being ‘suspected’ of something of this magnitude.
