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.

Would’ve won the Nobel Prize and discovered a cure for cancer in his spare time...between selling drugs, killing people, and breaking into houses...

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

It's worse than that now! Blacks have the idea that “in exchange for enduring centuries of white abuse,” now they are allowed to commit all manner of crimes ( including murder) without either apprehension or prosecution. It's a ‘new right” in our Constitution just like abortion and not profiling Muslims at the airports! Now, if only law enforcement (and non-blacks) would “recognize that right,” everything would be fine! I will say that in our home, their new constitutional right has not been ratified, and that “ventilation will occur” from any unauthorized attempts at entry thereon.

One story does actually call him an “aspiring rapper”.

That’s probably the pistol found at the scene, the one blm will say was planted.

Maybe they did. It’s not the easiest thing to deal with an ugly situation and stay beautiful yourself, though it’s extremely commendable if you do.

Anyhow it was tragically wrong of the lad to go playing around with a gun on the street. He happened to meet police, but he could equally well have met another gangster. And then where would the BLM gang be? Crickets?

Who has met and passed such a law? Who even encoded the idea into a constitution? These folks may be wrong about the facts but they do rightly point out that the constitution as amended is in favor of being race blind.

The cops need to learn to use their “inside voice” when they celebrate putting down a criminal.

Another “Child” killed by a gun. Probably already added to the Violence Policy Center/ Brady Child gunshot “Victims” statistics.
What’s more outrageous, a teenage thug pointing a gun at police, or police using deadly force against mindless deadly force, and congratulating each other for surviving the encounter?

The answer isn’t that difficult.

Well one could claim that thug life is about surviving too... the problem with races to the bottom is that one arrives there.

Looks like a good kid. I can’t imagine why a cop would shoot him just for pointing that gun at a cop.

I assume the neck tattoo is evidence that he wanted to join the Rocky Mountain Gardening Club, not a group of Chicago gang-bangers like the Roulette Money Gang. So much potential wasted just because a cop wanted to live long enough to see his family that evening.

If Obama had a son . . .

Notice the photo on the left that ABC News ran. And a more recent photo on the right.

This does not surprise me at all. ABC News has under 8 million viewers per night - less than 14% of the much smaller audience, down from 35% of a large audience in 1970. I doubt that they understand how much their dishonesty has contributed to their decline.
