(i don't get cable news like cnn or msnbc--so i watch the 9 & 10 o'clock local news)

just saw a couple stories on the 13 yr old that was killed

about a thousand people in streets of chgo tonight protesting

and a video from the scene showed that once other cops arrived to try and help the child, the cop who shot him moved away from what was happening, sat down, and began sobbing.

(i'd fucking be sobbing too--)

from my understanding he had never shot anyone while on duty before--first time i heard that.
