Thanks -the point is the same -if his father is correct it was self defense because he has been bullied and has learning disabilities.
Bet the same fugging cop looked on as they tormented the boy.

so he is guilty of having that knife.I don't know what they did him. I don't know if he was defending himself with a banned knife.

If as much emphasis were placed on bullying, we might not have these horrendous events

The possible claim of self defense. Such a defense would superceed the the ban on the weapon.

More to the point, you say their was no reason for police to shoot. The video shows many students relatively nearby. Show the police have risked the injury or death of those students by first using lesser force?
