White House press secretary Jen Psaki called the video of 13-year-old Adam Toledo getting shot by a Chicago police office 'chilling' during Friday's press briefing.

Psaki said she hadn't spoken to President Joe Biden before the morning briefing, so didn't know if he'd watched it, but said it served as a 'reminder' that 'too often in this country law enforcement uses unnecessary force, too often resulting in the death of black and brown Americans.'

She said the shooting was unnecessary after Chicago cops released bodycam footage showing the boy had a gun and dropped it just before the officer opened fire.

And she didnt mention he was a gang member with the name “Lil Homicide” makes ya wonder with a name like that, how many people this “Kid” killed

That gave me a chuckle.

And already with the “police acted stupidly”-type comments from the WH. Right or wrong, just shut the hell up you stupid ginger.

It's also a reminder that blacks have a lot of criminals.

Whites do also...but they don't become heroes when they're shot.

I will repeat:

IMO, SHE NEVER GOT PAST 5th GRADE.

And biden won’t comment on it again. He won’t come out and say I didn’t know he had a gun. Won’t admit he was wrong. A 13 year old can shoot you just as fast as a 31 year old. The media pushing the agenda. If the 13 year old was white would we be hearing about this. Or the media would show he had a gun and say he was a supremacist.

[Jane Long]

She'll circle back to that....

Jen graduated from the College of William & Mary with a degree in English and sociology. How can any one question her street cred? She's been conditioned on the tough, mean streets of Stamford Ct. and Williamsburg Va. If any one knows what it takes to be a LOE, it's Jen. UGHHHH...Damn, I made myself barf....

Possessed by ghost of Baghdad Bob....

[digger48]

in the same second it took to drop the gun, he could have drawn and killed the cop

nice of cbs to edit that part out

Is her main job to spew forth liberal pablum, on whatever matter is being discussed?

[RatRipper]

What is it with public figures today??????? It’s like, if you can’t say something stupid, don’t say anything at all.

Don't let the crap about 13 year olds fool you. Chicago isn't Mayberry.

My brother-in-law spent his entire career in the Chicago juvenile justice system, working mostly with gang members. He said most of the “kids” he worked with would kill him just as easily as shake his hand. He said he would look into their eyes and see nothing, and by the time they were 13 most of them were already lost. He didn’t believe in rehabilitation.
