A 12-year-old boy who was shot in the back and killed by a Philadelphia police officer has been identified.
The unnamed officer shot twice at Thomas Siderio as the boy ran away, striking him once in the upper right side of his back, with the bullet coming out through the front left side of his chest, the Philadelphia Police Department said in a press release Wednesday.
The PPD said Siderio was holding a stolen 9mm semiautomatic gun at the time. Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said in a written statement that "a young child with a gun in their hand purposely fired a weapon at our officers," but her deputy commissioner in a press conference with reporters said he could not definitively ascertain whether Siderio opened fire.
my condolences to the mainstream media who won’t be stoking the racial flames to get their desired outcome of looting, rioting, and anti police rhetoric. so sorry! perhaps the next victim will have the required description.
Yeah, a White kid shot by the cops…. The media will leave this one alone.
BUT!! All of America knows that if that kid was Black or Brown, the media will be stoking the flames of hate immediately so they can report on live TV that Philadelphia is on fire.
If America is truly a racist country, as the media makes it out to be, why are White people not rioting and burning the city down?
Very sad.. So young and got caught up in the thug lifestyle. That has to be tough on the officers. No one, regardless of the circumstance, wants to kill anyone so young.
