Police say that Kimani Gray pointed a gun at them at which they proceeded to fire at him, witnesses say they did not see a gun and said they heard Gray say "Please, don't let me die" they responded "Stay down or we'll shoot you again."
Just put yourself is this young man shoes and see how it may feel to hear that as one of the last things said to you. I'm sick and tired of these cops getting off with killing our youth and not having any severe consequences for their actions, except a slap on the wrist.
Obviously we don't know all the details of this, but I hope it gets investigated, and I would hope that if the officers were in the wrong that they be held accountable, but Kelly is known for shielding his officers.
I think it's high time most of the police here had their guns taken away like in the UK. In the UK, beat cops are not allowed to carry firearms, only specially trained cops that are not routinely on patrol can carry them.

We don't know enough details for any investigation in Amerikkka, the fact is that they killed a chiled who wasn't convicted of any crime, pertaining to that incident. Sadly this is becoming more and more prevalent.
As officers got out of the car to question him, Mr. Gray turned and pointed a .38-caliber Rohm revolver at them, the police said; two officers fired, hitting the teenager. He was pronounced dead a short time later at Kings County Hospital Center.
Mr. Gray did not fire the handgun, which was recovered at the scene. Paul J. Browne, the chief spokesman for the Police Department, said the six-shot revolver was loaded with four live rounds.
“After the anti-crime sergeant and police officer told the suspect to show his hands, which was heard by witnesses, Gray produced a revolver and pointed it at the officers, who fired a total of 11 rounds, striking Gray several times,” Mr. Browne said.
Don't want to get shot? Don't point a gun at the cops! Seems like a simple concept. It seems like the cops shooting is getting better, they hit "several times" out of 11 fired.
