There is outrage after Chicago police shot and killed a 16-year-old boy.

In Homan Square on Monday night, police pulled over a car that was connected to an earlier shooting. Police say Pierre Loury jumped out and an officer chased him.

Police say Loury then pointed a weapon at the officer and that is when he was shot. But a witness claims he saw officers "high five" each other after the teen was gunned down.

And now, protesters are demanding justice. A group held a vigil at the scene of the shooting and then marched onto the Eisenhower.

Even though the facts of this case are still far from clear, there are those on the side of Loury who claim this was not a justified shooting, despite what police say that he pointed a gun at an officer, and that the gun was recovered at the scene.

Police chase and shooting, and there is not a single video of the high five? That does not pass the smell test. I would expect all those nice ObamaPhones to be out before the first gunshot and well before a high five.

The narrative is what matters though. This was an unarmed black youth who dreamed of going to college and/or starting his rap career. The child was just turning his life around, and he looks really cute in his soon-to-be-released elementary school pictures.

If Obama had a son . . .

The BLM group will completely ignore the fact that the dead perp had a gun.

They will, of course, claim it was planted.

“Fourth of all, it’s suspicious for the person who jumps out of the car to point a gun at police.”

It’s not suspicious; it’s suicidal.

*************************************************************

But why didn’t the cop just shoot the gun out of his hand? You know, like they do in the movies?

Of all places to be outraged, the city that sees black males slaughtered every single weekend by their own, and not one peep, not one word, not one second of outrage. When will someone speak up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to mention that this vigil is an effort to get cops out of minority neighborhoods so the killing can escalate

He was a juvenile, so we may not get to see the rap sheet.

A 16 year old can kill as easily as a 21 year old.

It would tend to make me unhappy if that happened.

I am not a police officer but I would do everything reasonable to make the person stop doing that and stop putting my life in danger.

Maybe if they succeeded in killing each other off and it got rid of the biggest part of them, we’d have a more civilized country...

LOL...The only time anyone ever shot a gun out of someone’s hand was because he was a poor shot....

The whole mission of BLM, a terrorist organization, is to make life easier for black criminals so they can murder more law abiding black people. They are, of course, enthusiastically supported by the gun grabbers who want to disarm law abiding people to make life easier for criminals of all colors.

“protesters are demanding justice”

Justice?

JUSTICE?!?!?!

Justice HAS BEEN SERVED.
A piece of vile wretched would-be cop killer was shot by an honest policeman defending himself against a less than worthless member of society.

The “protesters” should be high-fiving the police officer!!!

* The BLM group will completely ignore the fact that the dead perp had a gun. *

I would guess that the extremely ignorant “protesters” are probably anti-gun and should be glad that there is no one less person with a gun...

Cops need to be trained to absorb the first three or four incoming rounds before drawing and shooting to wound the shooter!

Snark:
