I agree with your premise, but to be all the way honest and go against the train of thought here, as I've said before in this thread...I actually don't believe the boy pulled it out at all, I serously think this nazi "thought" he saw him do this or straight up lying now to cover his azz. I think he fcked all the way up as these racist pigs do, and assumed first off when he got the call, that he was dealing with some "ruthless" thug....and I know this is the narrative, because of the fact he was a rookie, he was fresh in the field and he went in with a guns ablazin attitude, as soon as he heard on that radio it was black kid with a gun, and now his gestapo handlers are about to get their Jew lawyers and the union chief to drum up all sorts of excuses and even try to find any little dirt to villify this nut case....
This shyt is every week, all around this country, yet you still have people within our ranks trying to find some reason as to why this can't be the fact that we have white boys with penis envy,jealous rages,racist thoughts and feelings, and an assortment of other mental issues parading around with weapons and badges in the equivalent of a gestapo styled force.
I was responding to the arguments of his age and trying to justify the shooting. We don't know if he reached or not we never will. He was targeted and stereotyped, when it comes to blacks they use deadly force.
