So many questions about Adam Toledo
1. He appeared to have a gun before he turned around...why?
2. Who gave him the gun?
3. Why did the cop shoot so quick when his hands were up WITHOUT A GUN ?
4. Did the cop see the gun before the kid got rid of it?
5. WT f**k is a 13 year old out at 1-2 in the morning?
My opinion...the cop was wrong and should be charged....the kid should have been in bed...and why does a mother let her 13 yo out at that time of nite.
Just terrible.

Three months after the attack on the Capitol, the frantic federal effort to prosecute the members of the mob that stormed the building has started shifting gears.
After a nationwide flurry of arrests, defense lawyers are homing in on what they describe as fundamental weaknesses in the governments case.
Some have challenged the marquee indictments against members of the Oath Keepers militia and the far-right group the Proud Boys, saying that the evidence so far does not support claims that their clients conspired to plan an attack against Congress.
Others have complained about prosecutors use of an unlawful entry statute and a 1960s-era law intended to silence leaders like the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And at least one lawyer has filed a motion to move her clients case out of Washington, saying it will be impossible to get a fair trial in the city where the insurrection occurred.
