Re: “You sound like an idiot.”
Actually, I sound like a guy who just paraphrased direct quotes from the linked article.
I’m sorry you don’t like the facts as reported.
Paraphrasing? You gave an opinion based on fragments of the story.
Here are three fragments from the article, not paraphrased, but verbatim and certainly not sympathetic to the message you’re conveying:
“police took no more than 10 seconds to open fire on Lopez after seeing him with a toy pellet gun.”
“According to police, two Sonoma County deputies were on patrol at 3 p.m. when they observed the boy walking with what they believed to be a rifle”
“They claim Lopez was about 20 to 30 feet from them”
