^^ Actually the city is claiming they are legally prohibited from releasing the body cam footage without the family's consent because the subject is a minor. Makes sense to me but I don't have time to dig up the statute at the moment to evaluate that claim.
And, I think businesses were already planning to board up pending the Chauvin trial verdict.
I don't know WHY,...but i studied the police blotter in my area, and ALL THE HISPANICS were labeled as White???
Because "Hispanic" isn't a race. If the Hispanic person in question is mostly of Spanish/European extraction, they are white. That's why some forms will further clarify "White (non-Hispanic)" as an option to be selected.
If the Hispanic person is an afro-Carribean (like many people in the Dominican Republic and elsewhere), they wouldn't be classified as "white", obviously.
The cartels are now using teens as hit men...........have had the joy of dealing with a few young thugs out here in SoCal. If you point out or requst they stop various obnoxious activities you just put a target on your back. I had the garage door ice picked to show for it. They are terrorists who laugh at any adult, knowing full well if you put a hand on them you get marched off to jail.
Kid had a gun AND was firing it at a vehicle just moments before the confrontation. There's also been stories (I don't if confirmed yet) he was recently inducted into the latin kings gang, as he had a fresh tattoo. If true, I don't know how on earth the media can spin this as another "good kid shot by evil cops"
Excerpt:
The boy was Adam Toledo, who died by homicide from a gunshot wound to the chest, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office. Toledo, identified by the medical examiner’s office as a 13-year-old white male, lived in the city’s largely Hispanic Little Village neighborhood on the West Side
Response: Opinion
It is sad that a young boy of has access to a weapon that can take way a life.
The other day two thirteen year olds stole a car and killed a man in the process
using the car as a deadly weapon.
Why are these children not being monitored by their parents?
And our country wants to bring in ,many many more from other countries when we can't even take care of our own at home.
Sad..............
This is a reflection of the left wing philosophy where discipline is bad infiltrating more and more into society.
In the meantime the democrats are busy brining in more gang members from south of the border. Can anyone tell me with a serious face that won't increase the problem with violent gangs?
