Watched the video.

Yes. there were other people there. But the caller wasn’t concerned enough to leave until after calling police.

The actions of the “gun” holder are the actions of a child or a mentally disabled person. Yet the passerby person didn’t turn around & leave. They continued on their way, which suggests they recognized a child with a toy.

An immutable fact is that there will always be children playing in public, & their play will at times be irrational & seemingly dangerous; their toys are imitations of real things, be they guns, knives, hammers, screwdrivers.....

Given that in any adult confrontation with a child, it is the adult who must comport themselves properly, because the child, by definition, cannot or will not necessarily do so; the child may not even realize a confrontation exists.

This officer did not comport himself properly & as a result, he murdered an unarmed child.

What if this child was playing with a real gun and only thought it was a toy? What if the cop was told that and thought he’d be shot by a innocent boy? Might the cop still be justified in defending himself from a boy who pointed this gun at strangers? How many children this boy’s age carry weapons and drugs on the street and are as dangerous as any criminal adult thug? It seems so unlikely that cops are willing to ruin their own lives by assassinating people for kicks. It seems more likely that a black boy has been brainwashed to assassinate cops for kicks.

I think this poster explains the senseless escalation of violence and the killing of young black men more than anything. And the way this is all being hyped by the media worldwide is not helping to educate these young men to survive...
