You are wrong. When you carry a weapon you have an obligation to know what you are getting into before you use it.
This guy was an idiot I wouldn’t want in my neighborhood.
I do not know why these guys pulled that close to the kid. I don’t know the street, where they thought they would run into him, or what opposing traffic was like.
I know this seems nit-picky, but there may be a more simple reason than we are unaware of. Perhaps not too. I just don’t fully know those circumstances.
I think it is reasonable to think the guys got too close. That could have led to the whole incident going South. I agree. Ultimately the kid was deemed to be a threat.
One other person says the kid did not pull something from his waist-band. I had thought he did.
At any rate, I am not as quick to trash these officers as others are.
I don’t like seeing a kid shot like that. The officers obviously keyed off something. I don’t think they just drove up and shot an unknown kid on the street for no reason.
Look if the facts ultimately prove that, then I would have to change my opinion. If the kid made a move that caused them to see him as a threat, I’m taking their side.
