This is why they kneel

Shoot first...ask questions later

Video released: https://www.chicagocopa.org/case/2021-1112/

Tough video to watch. 13 years old. Hands were up.

The cops handled this so ****ing bad holy.

Heart-breaking. Even more heart-breaking knowing how ****ing hard it is to gain an inch of progress in this country. The issue of police violence is almost a uniquely American problem and the right would be DAMNED if anyone did anything about it. Dems will say a lot of the right things but aside from a handful, there's no real fight. And that wasn't even always the case...our President is the Crime Bill guy, after all.

:sigh:

This is the world we are living in.

So I guess cops are allowed to murder kids that comply as well?

And that is precisely why every black person is terrified in that type of interaction. It can always result in their death and you think absolutely nothing of it. You are showing your incredible racism once again and frankly, it’s as pathetic as ever.

I’ll mention again, I’ve never believed you to be a real person. No human being can experience life and come to the conclusions you do. Dbroncsimo, brewers, even Sluggo do not fall into the same category as you

I'm actually going to disagree somewhat. I know a lot of smart, thought provoking people who come to similar conclusions he does. Difference is....I'm lucky that my circle of friends that listen. You'd think a simple fix would be to just imagine yourself in same position as a black man/woman, but it's not that simple. People like the dude/dudette you're quoting is never going to understand unless he/she is forced to endure the same **** folks like me and other minorities are forced to endure.

Sad fact is the privileged often dismiss race as ever being a factor in anything because they're fortunate enough to go through life without having their skin color negatively affect their way of life. I envy them, and wouldn't wish what black people go through on anyone......yes even the privileged.

Cop responds to a shots fired call. Kid runs with the gun in his hands and then within a split second he turns around and coo shoots him. That’s going to be a tough case to charge the cop. Gun was seen on the body cam and recovered next to the kid

Gun was like ten feet from the kid. He dropped it when running. Then stops and attempts to comply with the cop before getting murdered. Try again.

What is the point of cops demanding you put your hands in the air if even if you do, you're still such a potential threat the cops are justified in shooting you?

What? Here he is with the gun in his hand right when he was about to turn

He literally stopped with it in his hand tossed it then immediately turned and the officer fired. It was 2:30 in the morning in a dark alley and he was responding to shots fired. I don’t blame the officer for this one at all. The Minnesota one was inexcusable

Don’t have a gun in your hand at 2:30 in the morning shooting it?

Here’s the video. He literally had it in his hand right before he was shot. He stopped tossed it (kind of hard to see the toss if you’re the cop) then turns and got shot

If he had a gun in his hand shooting it when the police shot him you'd have a point.

You’re talking about something that literally happens in a second or two. Watch the video. He had it in his hand like a split second before he got shot

And then it magically disappears from his hand .1 seconds later when he turns and raised his hands? Then the gun shows up, propped up against the fence about ten feet away?
