I'm sure these cops would be quick to say "I have to make it home tonight". If the boy wasn't dead, he'd likely say the same thing.

The whole 'continuum of force' concept has been lost.

[Paladin2]

"what they thought to be an "assault rifle.""

Poor thinking.

[rarestia]

Umm... words fail me.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Didn’t it have an orange tip, or something?

[Gasshog]

those targets with cilivans printed on them are working really well.

“several rounds”.

Cops were not in control of themselves, forget the situation.

Come to my neighborhood and they’d drop all three of my young boys running and rolling around, too stupid to pay attention to anything outside their world.

And I wont bring them in.

I’m sure the officers feel just, terrible. I hope they’re on suicide watch. No sense in more tragedy.

[Cicero]

Good work, guys. Your reward is free donuts for a year! What? You say you already get free donuts? Well . . . .

[easternsky]

Rural area? Kid going to neighbors to play??

[G Larry]

Any excuse to shoot.

Doubt they gave the boy ANY warning.

Once they realized it was a toy gun, AND the kid was lying there with multiple gun shot wounds, who was the fricking idiot that determined hand cuffing him was the next appropriate step?

“The boy’s father, Rodrigo Lopez”

Don’t be surprised if this kid did not comply because he could not speak English.

[MaxMax]

Halloween is going to be a Happy Free-Fire Field day for the police!

[Revelation 911]

was the dog unharmed?

[windcliff]

Alfred Hitchcock’s “Shadow Of A Doubt” was filmed there.

So identify the deputies, and let us cuss them by name. One of the problems with destroying our culture, and of turning out half-wits from our schools, is that we get dumber and dumber cops, men who don’t have the sense to control their fears and instincts, and make good judgements on their feet.

[ZX12R]

It isn’t safe to let your kids go outside anymore, with all the incompetent police roaming the streets.

[JLS]

If he spoke perfect English he might well have been complied because he could not. He did not have been a weapon. He had a toy.

[drypowder]

Obviously cops killing kids and innocent citizens is going to happen under the current criminal drug gang culture this government, promoting multiculturalism and political correctness, has allowed and these kinds of events will get much worse as the economy collapses even further.

[MaxMax]

This means War, everyone grab your toy guns and move out.

[JLS]

Not complied. Stupid cell auto correct
