From all reports, the boy did not aim at the cops or otherwise threaten them. However, he did pull it from his waistband after a verbal command to put his hands up.

...........my policy has always been, in many situations in 5 decades to just don’t F with the cops EVER! They have the gun and the force of LAW, as flawed as it is.

As I told my kids growing up, “just shut up”.

Sad thing is, in the urban black culture, the whole idea of something we used to call "common sense" is never, ever inculcated. It's probably a direct side-effect of the "nothing is ever my fault/everything is whitey's fault" attitude.
