Another prosecutor in the State's Attorney's office said there was an internal perception that Murphy was being “thrown under the bus"

A Chicago-based prosecutor was placed on paid leave Friday for failing to mention in a statement that Adam Toledo, 13, had dropped the handgun he was holding before he was shot by a Chicago police officer, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office announced.

"In court last week, an attorney in our office failed to fully present the facts surrounding the death of a 13-year-old boy," State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s spokeswoman Sarah Sinovic said Saturday. She was referring to an April 10 hearing, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

The perp didn’t drop the weapon. He tried to hide it by throwing it behind a fence.

If he’d dropped it, he’d be alive today.

Kamala Harris is Kim Foxx’s chinaman (can I even say that anymore?). Foxx is golden protected.

Kim Foxx is part of the Obama Cabal (for lack of a better term) that has seized power by fraud and force and is instituting totalitarianism.

LOL, no I don’t think we can say “Chinaman” anymore.

I always get confused about what is allowable. Why is it, we are allowed to say “people of color”, but not “colored people”?

We don’t say Negro anymore.

We aren’t supposed to say Indian anymore, in reference to Indian tribes. We are supposed to say Native American. But all of us born here in America are native Americans, so doesn’t such terminology just confuse people more?

“The perp didn’t drop the weapon. He tried to hide it by throwing it behind a fence.”
*****************************************************
And his “tossing” of the weapon happened in the split second his right hand holding the weapon was blocked from the field of vision of the cop as the perp simultaneously rotated his body to face the cop and raised his right hand.

For Monday morning quarterbacks who fault the cop for this justified shooting, I have a good idea of where you’d fall in the street’s “the quick and the dead” continuum.

Good luck trying to keep up with PC terms. It changes daily. So might as well use what you want because someone will try to cancel you no matter what.

Just don’t ever talk any race stuff with your real info online. I’d say never do it in general, but you really can’t on race or sex now.

Andy Ngo: Journalist/activist claims that Adam Toledo (aka Lil’ Homicide) was unarmed is untrue. Police responded to the scene because of more than 8 rounds fired at a moving car. Those shell casings match Toledo’s gun. He also just got a Latin King gang tattoo & was in gang territory.

Its funny how the commie media doesn’t mention Lil Homicide’s mother, who let him walk the streets for DAYS without even reporting him missing(He had disappeared twice before this was the 2nd time two days gone) he was a member of a gang had a gang tattoo, its a shame that this kid had no one in his life who gave a rats behind about him but now pretend like they care so they can get a payday

Yes Toledo pulled the weapon out with his right hand and the officer saw the it - and 2 seconds later shot the kid.

2 seconds - just about the right amount of time it might take a police officer in a foot pursuit to pull his weapon and fire.

Kid was a gang banger...just initiated into the Latin Kings.

I have zero sympathy for this punk or his family.

True, when the round hit him he was not armed. A second earlier he was armed when he made a motion like he was going to shoot to try to throw the gun, which promoted the officer to shoot.

failed to fully present the facts surrounding the death of a 13-year-old boy

When has the left EVER been concerned with ALL the facts in these type cases?

And also the gun was in the slide locked out position - indicating that the magazine was emptied before hand - ie. the 8 shots fired at the car.

I refer to blacks as royalty since throughout history royalty has always been above the law and given special privileges.

I say Chinaman, colored people, Negro, Indian... I say whatever I want, and no one hassles me. I wear a Kimber 1911 .45cal ACP on my hip, so they keep quiet, and it does :print”, even with an untucked dress or sports shirt.

You know the truth. I know the truth. Even the lying liberal media knows the truth.

But they are more than anxious to twist this into another “hands up, don’t shoot” lie which was repeated over and over again in the Michael Brown shooting.

My liberal friends always say the child didn’t have a chance or we need to protect the children. So this kid was 13. I grew up in Chicago and in 7th grade I was not too far from this incident.

The first gang fight I remember was between 6th and 7th graders over a pushing incident that happened in a park after school. The “children” got chains, bats and sticks and were going to fight it out in an alley - the time and date mutually agreed on. The fight started and a resident call the police and within minutes the police came and the kids ran and I think nobody was caught. This is the city of Chicago not Mayberry and gangs have been around since forever - even in Rome there were street gangs. Gangs are nasty and dangerous but that is the attraction.
