Well, where to begin? Kids these days, lots and lots of them, are seriously fucked in the head. So many of them believe video game worlds are "real" and/or they cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is simulacra. Where were his parents? Was he mentally ill or developmentally challenged? Further, why are all police coast to coast militarized, and why in the hell are all militarized police so quick to spray live rounds at Americans of any age? In the end, our system failed this kid, the kid's parents failed him, the cops who killed him failed him and his own monumental stupidity failed him right down into a grave. In short . . . no protests will be launched to burn, pillage and loot in his memory. This kid was a poster child for bad juju and extremely bad karma.

Americans own a lot of guns. That makes us dangerous. That means the police generally speaking are in more danger while they interact with us. They're afraid. They don't get a lot of training and they don't make a lot of money.

He was obviously shot because of racism. Not the fact he was walking around town pointing guns at people, right?
Its just like this case

"King has had 22 interactions with law enforcement — 11 with Tarpon Springs police and 11 with other Pinellas County law enforcement agencies, Young said. Two of those were felony arrests — battery on a school board employee in 2017 and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon in 2018, according to Young."


Could be a "suicide by cop."

Unless he was mentally handicapped or something, everyone knows you don't wave something that looks like a gun around.

I am kind of curious about a couple of things. Not saying they were wrong to shoot, but if all they saw was him point his pellet rifle, but not seeing and not hearing any shots, 1. Did they spotlight and tell him to drop the weapon or just open fire? Knowing that even diagonal distance across and intersection is usually less than 50 meters. Why did it take 7 rounds from a patrol rifle, I am assuming to be an AR/M-16 or equivalent to take the kid down and why did the supporting Officer even make 5 supporting hand gun night shots at around 50 meters? I have never missed a 50 meter rifle shot, day or night and only do 50 meter handgun shots in the daytime to show off for sport. I have never attempted any 50 meter night handgun shots.

Maybe more will be known from autopsy and officer involved shooting investigation.

How many people reported "man with a gun threatening vehicles"?

 

[pknopp]

An airsoft gun is not commonly known as a pellet gun. If they felt they were in the right there is no reason to make crap statements like this.

Nor should they.

Police have no choice but to assume the weapon is a real firearm. The stakes are way too high if they guess wrong.

And, there's more to this story than what we are seeing. This is probably suicide by cop.

In short...dumbasses, thankfully, despite all of the advances of modern medicines to do not make it to a mature breeding age.

Kid fucked up. Just natural selection, IMO.

Good things he was a white boy.
