Wisconsin police fatally shot an apparently unarmed African-American teenager on Friday, prompting dozens of people to protest at the site of the killing, according to police and videos published on social media

When will the madness with these police officers end?

Police are scared, and kill the innocent and unarmed - especially black males. But should the police be so scared?
What was happened at this time? Waiting for the show...

The teen struggled with an armed police officer. If the teen had been successful with his intentions, we would have a dead cop on our hand, and no media coverage of the cop's murder.

Dead teens are click-bait, dead cops aren't.

When people stop siring bastard babies and then failing to raise them with enough sense not to be thugs that start fights with the police.

It's not the fault of the police.

Idiots need to stop fighting the cops

Anyone who physically attacks a cop deserves to get shot with the same gun he's trying to gain control over. No tears or sympathy from me.

Not enough of this story to go on yet. Why was he struggling with the cop? Another Darwin award winner?

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

The media loves to write it’s own rules when it comes to black adults being shot by police.

Let’s review our AP Style guides shall we?

17 and under is a teen, child

18 and over is an adult

Not to take away from the impact of any death, but your "murder" stats are off as far as cop deaths. In 2013, 33 officers were "murdered" by civilians. The others were killed while on duty. The #1 cause of death was by driving.


2013 was a historic low for officers murdered. So some things are being done right in that area. But the American killings by Police need to be reduced and we need to finally address our justice system.




In this case, I read where the teen was in his home if I'm correct. I wonder under what circumstances things actually happened. Was the officer wearing a body cam?
