Same incident, different spin: man, 16, found inflicting deadly force a la blunt trauma on homeless man; failing to stop when ordered by police, was shot until he ceased his lethal attack.

I’ve read elsewhere (Yahoo, I think) that the kid was beating someone with that broomstick when the cops arrived.

Is this the “boy” that was beating on a homeless guy with a broomstick?

'part of a broomstick'
umm... unless he was holding the sweeper... that would be a wooden rod.
it is a weapon. depending on the length, it's either a bo staff

or a baton used in stick fighting

or simply a broken broomstick.

the difference ... is training.

How about sawed off shotgun with rock salt???? He would drop the stick and live in pain for a while.

Yeah, this could go either way. If he’s refusing to stop a potentially deadly assault they should shoot him, and some sixteen year old kids are adult size.
It could be he was just holding the stick and they killed him with zero justification.
I know where I’d put my money on the scale of possible scenarios, but until the camera footage is released, the forensics reviewed and the witnesses sorted out by somebody besides the media we are all just guessing.
