When corruption (cameras turned off) and legal murder are committed by cops, some citizens out there get fatigued. This may be why there is some blow back and then LEO supporters get all upset. We have seen it again and again. So instead of cops just shooting and then enjoying a paid vacation, they should actually do the job they were hired to do. If they can't handled the job, they should find other employment.
Love how people are painting this kid as a Saint.. He was a punk, and now he is dead due to his actions..
Nobody's making him out to be anything. Yes, he broke the law and should've served time for breaking the law. He was killed in cold blood instead. The cops involved should and must be fired.

The world is a little better place today. Thanks to the cops.
Seems like you love when Black people are gunned down, regardless whether they're an upstanding citizen or criminal, eh?

Define being killed in cold blood. And then explain how this situation fits that.
Whats the point of; courts, judges, lawyers, jails and prison ? If Police catch you while committing a crime while being black they have society's tacit approval to kill you. Even if you are unarmed, running away and are no longer a threat to the police they will shoot you in the back and that's okay if you are black. No one is willing to go as far as to admit that police work attracts too many of the wrong white men to police black youths, like many of the posters in these threads where another UBM got shot. He deserved it.
Someone is not getting the memo. Police should be telling young African Americans, if you are a criminal we can kill you if we want to and there will be no court date, or African American parents and community leaders should be telling young African American males you will be killed if you are caught committing a crime and society approves of this policy with regard to blacks. Courts , judges, jails are for violent white criminals who are deemed less violent than violent black criminals. Black criminals have been deluded to believe if they are not a threat the police won't shoot
Policing is clearly an area that the US is way behind the rest of the western world. Even South Africa has cleaned up its act. When I visited S.A. there was a ruckus on the street one night with young men carousing. A white cop showed up and told them to move along and it was resolved peacefully. The black family who I was staying with, told me that before Apartheid was lifted they would have been summarily shot for this behavior.... like in America?

The kid was not killed in cold blood. Why dont you understand what he was doing was potentially putting other lives at risk. Honestly think about it. Think of some kid recklessly driving down a street running people over, wouldnt a shot to the head to stop him be a good idea? Think NICE.

Someone always has to inject BLACK. Who gives a crap what color he is. It made no difference. Stop trying to insist this only is a black problem. Poor little black kid. Its as if he deserves a special pedestal when committing a crime.. He was in a position where he was putting many peoples live at risk. Get over your racist attitude. Damn Joke.

Frankly, if one is concerned about putting many lives at risk, especially when it comes to the relations between police officers & community members, it might be useful to take a look at who is paying attention to this type of SovCit fear mongering:
Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, who pledged the department's "full cooperation" with the investigation, told reporters the shooting troubled him.
"If it's an honest mistake, we'll get them training, coaching, mentoring and get them back out there. But if it was intentional misconduct, then they have to be held accountable for it," he said.
So a cop can kill you by "honest" mistake and all he gets is more training, coaching and mentoring to do the same "honest" mistake all over again.
Honest mistake or not, if you kill someone, you deserve a long prison sentence.
Obviously, that's how law works for civilians but not for cops who are the law.
Where else it's as easy as "oops honest mistake" and get away with murder?
Well, I am GLAD to hear you NEVER made an "honest" mistake in your life.

NO- you get back up and arrest him- there is no option to shoot UNLESS you feel your life or another life is threatened -- remember that? imminent danger-- trigger happy people in here are -
Looked like the new wild west on the video. He sure pissed a lot of people off in a short time. Whether the shooting was justified or it was not, its just not a good idea to do what he did. The fingers start pointing....where's Al?
