A teenager in New York City was shot and killed by undercover police last night after they say he pointed a gun at them. Kimani Gray, 16, was shot in the leg and stomach when he pulled out a .357 revolver in East Flatbush, Brooklyn
Police say they came across a group of young men on Saturday evening when Gray began walking away from his friends as he saw police arrive. Officers say the 16-year old began to adjust his waistband and started to act suspiciously. Gray then turned around and pointed a .357 caliber gun at them. When the two plainclothes officers saw the weapon they responded by opening fire and shot him.

Nope, I'm stumped.
The "safety curve" of NY just clicked over one notch with this thug-in-training removed from society.
Question: How was the kid to know they were undercover cops when they weren’t in uniform and driving an unmarked car? He could have thought they were drug guys or other gang members. Just saying.
Yes but did he have a 17 oz coke in his pocket?
Thanks for posting that as my HTML skills are not quite as good as my squirrel dressing skills.
(and thats just fine with me...)
My guess is anybody new in that neighborhood is probably an undercover cop or buying drugs.
What’s interesting is that when this kind of stuff happens liberals again focus on something that has absolutely nothing to do with it. They’ll blame “police brutality” or “guns” but not the fact that a kid is out during a school night with a freakin’ gun. Umm, where’s the parents? (or probably parent in this case). That get’s completely and utterly ignored just like they ignore the fact that the majority of mass shootings are done by the mentally ill. These are the kind of people who blame bars or booze when someone drives drunk and kills somebody. And they wonder why the lawsuits are out of control in New York. Nobody has any responsibility, it’s all the fault of objects and evil corporations.
No they couldn’t. Thats Trayvon Martin.
I could say something like “well they all look alike”, but I won’t.
They have experience.
play stupid games
win stupid prizes.
I thought guns were pretty much effectively banned in NYC. Did Bloomberg not get the word out to those in Brooklyn??
They were probably the only males for blocks with their pants above their crotch.
That was my first though when I read that the car was unmarked.
It would be one thing if the cops turned on the car's lights and siren as they pulled up.
But if the undercover car just screeched to a stop, then a couple of burly men in civilian clothes jumped out and began running towards the gunman, well then, that would be something else.
The real winners are the future victims of this social parasite. Of course, judging by his actions, with his mentality, it was just a matter of time anyway.
If he was 45 or white no one would care. But because he was 16 it is now a tradgedy that liberals must cry about. Conservatives have been telling them the answer for years but they won’t listen. So I don’t care anymore.
The kid was on his way to turn that gun in, I am sure. Because it would be illegal for him to have it, dontcha know. And he surely wouldn’t want to break the law.
