Just like the angelic pics of Trayvon Martin-—NOT the pics showing him flashing gang signs.

What was a 13-year old boy doing out roaming the streets of Chicago at 2:30AM?

How sad for him. I sincerely hope he finds peace in fishing and gardening. Peace for you, also.

Good grief, didn’t mean to offend you by quoting the article. I don’t know if he had an air pistol, but as far as I recall nothing in the Tribune article mentioned one. If he was pointing an air pistol at the cop when he was shot, how did it match the shell cases found at the scene of the initial shooting? You tell me, since you brought up the subject - did he have one or not?

“Good grief, didn’t mean to offend you by quoting the article.”

LOL, calk down I’m not offended. I just didn’t understand what it is you were saying. We probably read two separate articles.

You mention shell casings found at the scene. Were they NOT shell casings from the cops gun? If they were not then it is obvious the boy did not have an air pistol but a real gun.

In any case whether the boy had an air pistol or conventional gun his shooting was justified if he pointed the weapon at the cop.

He was just returning home from choir practice.

“Why wouldn’t they release them at 9 am in the morning rather then late in the afternoon closer to sundown!”

Blacks don’t get out of bed until 11-12:00. Now I’m being slightly sarcastic but it’s also fairly true.

Has anyone in Toledo’s family been asked why their 13 year old boy was hanging out with a 21 year old gang banger at 2:30am?

Because the 13 year old was the brains of the crime duo.

This fraud should release tapes of the 50 who get shot every weekend in her city. Nothing but stone dead dry eyes on that.

Body cam video does not always show clear evidence of what happened, so after viewing it, we'll know a)Toledo was holding a gun; b)Toledo was not holding a gun; or c)it's not clear whether he had a gun or not.

Of course, the answer to this is irrelevant to those who want to protest, riot, and loot.

For good or for bad, that video, and all body cam videos, belong to the taxpayer and the taxpayer has the right to see body cam videos.

“‘There will never be “no cops,””

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

For sure.

Maybe not so much about trying to prosecute blacks for committing murder/rape/assault/etc.

But, if nothing else we will always have conformity policing to make sure whites follow liberal progressive mandates.

“You mention shell casings found at the scene. Were they NOT shell casings from the cops gun?”

I think the article was referring to casings found at the scene of the original shooting and that they matched the gun found near the kid after he was shot - so I don’t believe they were casings from the cop’s gun.

“In any case whether the boy had an air pistol or conventional gun his shooting was justified if he pointed the weapon at the cop.”

Agree 100%.

Black riots preceded the welfare state

However we now have a media and democrat party and democrat government that exploits it and uses it as a tool

That is different ....

Old school Democrat party mayors from segregation and in Chicago and Philly etc fought against black unrest.....and often the media nailed them for it....Daley and Rizzo come to mind

Of course they were racists

Now we have white leftists and black Dems feasting on white guilt of all that racial meaniness

And whites refuse to fight back

That is those who don’t agree with the premise

That said

If this truly is as bad as they warn

“There’s a riot going on” is gonna happen anyhow

The evolution of this is black riots will move to white areas more and more and since young whites are increasingly leftist and will join in its going to just get worse

America should look to South Africa to see where cities head when race politics reaches this point
