Officer In Missouri Shot, Killed Man Who Pulled Gun

[PGreen]

According to a statement from St. Louis County police spokesman Sgt. Brian Schellman, a Berkeley police officer was conducting a routine business check at a gas station around 11:15 p.m. Tuesday when he saw two men and approached them.

One of the men pulled a handgun and pointed it at the officer, Schellman said. The officer fired several shots, striking and fatally wounding the man.

The dead man’s identity was not immediately released, although the St. Louis Post Dispatch reported that a woman at the scene identified him as her son, 18-year-old Antonio Martin.

Another "gentle giant" bites the dust:

Antonio Martin Black Teenager Fatally Shot By Police 2 Miles From Ferguson Report

Note how the incident is reported as "black teen shot by a cop" instead of "gun-toting thug and criminal shot for pulling a gun on a cop."

Pulling a gun on a cop is a very bad idea. I pray common sense is used and that the officers right to self defense will be enough.

According to witnesses the boy was peacefully pointing his gun at the officer, who responded by blowing him away. Doubtless the officer is a member of the Tea Party.

Well, we do know lies are told in these scenarios and cops kind of get skittish at times... We'll see.

I'm sure we'll find out that he was an angelic child and was off to college.

Could be, the one in Cleveland was. He was only 12. The cop was corrupt.

Stay tuned. We'll find out what a wonderful child he was and that the cop was out to kill blacks. It's inevitable.

The cop made damn sure he would be with his. Can't blame him.

Sure, maybe we'll find out the truth but I doubt it. The thin blue line could be successful once again, it's stealthy..

I have a question, don't cops know how to arrest people anymore? Is it a rule now that they shoot them dead instead of taking them in?

Oh I read, question is, do I believe what I've read. I don't have blind faith like some here.
