16-year-old with toy gun killed by cop--horrifying story:



Text

for journalistic reasons you can’t call this an execution but read thus and tell me if it does not sound like an execution

Vaxton P. Hartnabrig.
@GeeDee215
A cop fires 10 shots at a 16 y.o.

Waits three seconds. Fires another shot.

Walks 12 feet closer to the teenager, who is presumably incapacitated/bleeding out at this point.

Another minute passes, and the cop shoots him four more times.
