The 911 call that sent Police to that alley, where the gang 'the Latin Kings' were known to hang out, reported 6-7 gun shots. The police showed up expecting an armed confrontation.
The 21yo handed off something to Toledo, & he ran. The officer giving chase ORDERED, not 'suggested, Toledo numerous times to stop, numerous times to 'show me your hands', & numerous times to 'drop it'. Toledo repeatedly refused to comply...until HE chose to. WRONG MOVE WHILE RUNNING AND CARRYING A GUN.
Toledo finally tossed the gun behind the fence and turned to face the officer, who had seen him running with a gun. In 1 SECOND the officer, in fear for his life, shot Toledo...ONCE because he knew at that point the situation was under control. At this point the officer began to try to help Toledo while calling for help.
D-Maxine Waters has since demonized the officer and the police AND, like the VP, has called for foreign-funded Democrat-supported domestic terrorists to remain in the streets to continue to burn / destroy and to continue to engage in violent confrontations with police.
- Billions of dollars of damage has been done to Democrat-run communities all over the US, and the VP and now Waters have openly called for violence to continue.
Waters' violent rhetoric and continued attempts to divide this nation - like when she and Democrats incited an attempted assassination of GOP politicians - are going to get more Americans shot / killed
