While the teenager’s death is tragic enough, it is equally tragic how unprincipled people exploited it to further their violent agendas.

I wonder why the kid was shot? Was he engaged in an attack on the police? Was he armed? Why isn't this being talked about?

Oh, FAR be it from me to imply he deserved it, just wondering what are the circumstances?

Some innocent youth, just out walking, no doubt.

Any police officer worth his salt takes no pleasure in killing another human being, even when it is legally justified. Setting passions aside, the circumstances have to be thoroughly investigated lest the anarchists and leftists succeed in making a martyr out of a teenage hoodlum.

The kid was the child of a married well off couple. I believe a professor and civil service worker.

I think he was just rolled up with the left wing student crowd who were rushing the police car. (see wilding)

Most likely the kids were yelling at the cops and things just escalated.

Of course you have to think in terms of that part of the world. The streets in the other parts of the world are not as soft and fluffy as the USA.
