Young kids do stupid things all the time. So, yes, kids are that stupid. What do you mean no kid is that stupid?
No were not that stupid, if anything why would he point and not shoot at the cops? Makes no sense. The more you look into this story the more you see the holes in it.
Rallying around thugs, an African Anerican pastime.
He had prior convictions for rioting and burglary among other crimes and pointed a gun at cops. He had it coming.
He's not African American. He is Jamaican and Guyanese. According to you, Caribbean Americans had a superior culture to African Americans, and to African immigrants, which you are allegedly descended from.
if he pointed a gun at them then what exactly was your recommendation?
u say witnesses, his friends did not see a gun, they did not say he didnt point a gun at the cops they just said they did not see it.
so u r saying teenagers "a child" dont carry and use firearms in the hood?
please. you r saying pointing a gun at cops in front of your friends is not a giant ego boost to any hood rat?
please
You know, if you hate red, white and blue so much, feel free to pack your things and leave. And take your friends with you.
Actually, what "red, white and blue" needs to do is live up to its principles. Then you wouldn't have anyone being killed by police unnecessarily, and you wouldn't have people protesting against said police.

Just because the cops conspire to make this a good shooting, doesn't make it so. I won't believe it was unless there are witnesses that back up the cops story, or a video. Until then, I assume they were trigger happy, made a mistake, and now are covering for the force. Happens all the time.
The cops presumed he was reaching for the gun and lied to the media and said he pointed at them, according to witnesses. But tell me how witnesses are less factual than officers? Your showing no empathy for the mother or family of this young man.
They just had their child taken from them by the same people who are suppose to protect and serve but its obvious that is not the case and did not include Afrikan-born Amerikkkans.
How are you so sure that the cops are lying ? If and that is a big if, he did not have a gun I feel for his family even though he was well on his way to the "thug" life. The police should be held accountable if it was a mistake.
If he did have a gun, well then that's one less thug of the street. I'm sure his family is sad for the loss but that is about it. Where is your empathy for the police ? They have to deal with this $hit on a daily basis. Really we can't even debate this until the facts come out.
Eh being a child is no excuse, I'd like to know whether or not he pointed a gun at police officers.
If no gun was found, then I think a full impartial investigation is warranted against the police.
of course a gun was found, but cops carry 'throw downs'. So that doesn't prove anything.
