1. The DUer who suggested he'd also shoot this child unhesitatingly, must love this....

n/t

2. why would u say something so rude hurtfull and over the top?

[EOTE]

3. The rude and hurtful comments are coming from the numerous people here

who have excused the killing of this child. Those who suggested the kid may have engaged in suicide by cop or the ones who insist that the kid would still be alive today if he were just more compliant even though witness testimony says otherwise.

6. the police walked up to this child and shot him for no reason?

[EOTE]

7. I'm sure he had a reason. Probably didn't think he was getting proper respect or something.

The police ALWAYS have a reason. What they quite often don't have is a good reason. You actually seem to be suggesting that police don't murder people for bad reasons. You must not read the internet... or papers... or watch television or listen to the radio.

i better go read the story

10. perhaps you should

12. They shouted at him to drop the gun. He didn't hear them. They shouted a second time.

He turned halfway around to respond to the police. One of them emptied his clip into him.

This is where you suspend reality and pretend that every person living in the United States is an indoctrinated Marine who has been well drilled to obey orders the second they hear it.

Meanwhile, in the real world where the typical person's response to a shouted order is, "huh, what?" an innocent person is dead for no good reason.

This is one of the reasons the military first tears you down before trying to build you into the person they want you to be. They have to rip out the tendency by most people to respond to an order with a question.

9. It wasn't me saying it -- it was the DUer yesterday who said he'd also shoot this child

Because of how the neighborhood had "changed" or something. Best to be informed of these things.

[Change has come]

16. Here is a link to that thread.

That post was disgusting.

19. You know what? It did not surprise me.

It did not shock me.

I pretty much expect everything here any longer.

4. This is sad, The 2nd amendment is a whites only law, we've got to change that!!!!!

17. Expanding minority gun rights is an excellent idea. nt

[uponit7771]

20. Regulating the distribution of firearms is even better IMHO

[hack89]

21. They are regulated pretty well

all we really need is universal background checks. That and significantly increase the ATF's budget so they can track down on illegal gun trafficking.

[uponit7771]

23. Tracking them better would be a progressive step

[hack89]

24. It would not have stopped this particular tragedy

nor would it stop the majority of gun deaths considering two thirds of them are suicides. Nor would it stop mass shootings - it is never a mystery who the shooter is.

5. Murder. n/t

[Ohio Joe]

11. RIP - nt

[Rex]

13. Why would one cop unload his clip into the child

and the other one did absolutely nothing? One felt scared and the other realized it was a toy gun?

[WillyT]

14. Kick !!!

[Liberal_in_LA]

15. heartbreaking

[nadinbrzezinski]

18. I feel for the photographers as well

[DiverDave]

22. They will let the murderer go.

and his partner? Probably had a BBQ in his honor.
Good cops? None of them are if they stay silent on the abuses
that are happening every day.
