Did they ever picture or ID the female officer who shot this kid to death?

A single shot - “oops, I had my finger on the trigger before I decided that I was pointing my gun at a target I intended to kill or destroy”. IMHO.

Police depts. need to take up the Barney Fife rule: One bullet in the shirt pocket. If you think you need it and you’re still alive after you get it out of your pocket, then you don’t need it.

Was the gun found? And I’m talking about a gun somebody would actually own, not a Rohm .22 that “fell out of the officer’s pocket” at the scene.

Georgia Ping.

Does someone want to post the statistics for shootings per female officer as opposed to male officers?

Another killing by a jumpy woman cop....shoot first and you don’t have to ask questions later.

First of all, I don’t believe the cops. Second, so what if he had a gun. It’s not against the law to stand at the door of your own home holding a gun. On top of that, the cop wouldn’t identify herself. What if it had been a thug?

The officer, who has been placed on administrative leave

Was this government paid leave?

I am trying to imagine shooting some unarmed kid to death while working and getting a leave of absence....Or maybe paid leave of absence...

In the real non-government world of the private sector, the government would ID you, plaster your pic all over the papers, publicly discredit you anyway possible, dig deep in your background, and drag you through 30 years of courts and violent prison...They'd also seize your assets and loot everything you ever had....

“There are days that I wake up and am on the money. I can focus, get done what needs to be done and move onto the next project. Then there [are] days like today, when I am simply going through the motions and my mind is a million miles away, off in a fantasy land or still thinking about the last book that I read or that dream that I had last night. I tend to smile at the wrong things and laugh at odd intervals and while my office mates do put up with this, I believe they think I am more than a little odd. I can try to pep talk myself into believing that I need to focus but the little weirdo that lives inside me, she is off her meds, dancing through the trees and singing off key at the top of her voice… yep going to be a great day, I can feel it!!!"

Jail that b*tch cop and throw away the key. She murdered that boy then LIED about why it happened. She chose the wrong profession and those that gave her a badge did so solely to boost the number of female officers, not based on her abilities or HER JUDGEMENT (OBVIOUSLY).

Cowardly, trigger-happy, untrained, unqualified cops! I hope they sue for tens of millions.

The most important thing is that she got home safely so that she could update her status on Facebook. No dogs were killed, so the police have that going for them. Killing kids is just one of those things that people need to get used to, it’s the price of staying safe.

Oh I can see how a highly trained seasoned police officer could mistake a game controller for an AK-47 machine gun ... got him before he could press the kill button!!!

Multiple procedure violations by the officer. However, the root of the problem is probably an affirmative action hiring followed by lax training to ensure she qualified for the field. Police are in full CYA mode trying to mitigate damages that will come from a settlement or civil trial. Saddest thing is that two lives are ruined forever.

So that’s the kid? He was white? We’ll never hear 2 words about this again from the MSM.

RIP poor fellow, whatever you or your father did your life should not have been ended in such a dreadful manner.

I wonder how far the pigs are going to take this lie.

A Wii remote looks about as much like a gun as a breadstick.
