Cleveland Officer KILLS 12 Year Old Black Boy Armed With BB Gun *UPDATE 3* SHOOTING VIDEO RELEASED!!

[ls773]

Did the 12 year old deserve to die? No, but the responding officer didn't deserve to die that day either.

Unfortunately for the kid, he made a series of bad decisions that eventually forced a police officer to make a split-second decision whether to risk dying or use deadly force himself. The consequences were tragic, but foreseeable. I wish it hadn't happened. I'm sure the police officer wished it hadn't happened. But it did, and the kid is primarily responsible himself for ending up dead.

I don't even care if it's modified or not, orange cap or not if someone starts waving one those things at me I'm not waiting to fire to find out if it's real gun someone put a fake orange cap on. It's inevitable that is going to happen at some point.

Frankly these "toys" should be banned or at the very least have the exact same laws applied as real guns. This isn't the first person to be shot that had one and it won't be the last. You cannot blame the police for their actions. It's impossible to distinguish them from a real gun even with the orange cap.

When the cop says freeze and drop the gun, if you point the gun, (fake or not) in the cops direction, you are likely to get killed. Sometimes bad decisions can be hazardous to your health.

A single bullet can take a life coming from a gun being held by a 12 year old or an 82 year old. That's why the number one rule of firearms is never point it at something you aren't prepared to shoot.

Well A) When it comes to an actual child, I'm willing for him to take a shot before I "defend" myself. I think I'd be ok with being the guy remembered for being shot by a pre teen then the one who shot a 12 year old with a toy.

B) If they were actually worried it was a real gun, why did they get that close? shouldn't they be behind cover/doing whatever other procedural things you do when someones armed? Im not an expert but getting within 10 feet in open space when you think someone has a gun, seems like a terrible idea.

C)If the cops said anything about the gun "drop the gun" "do you have a gun" "lets see the gun" "are you the kid with the gun?" and then shot him for reaching for it, its even worse than whats been presented so far.

If a person is seen to be carrying a firearm and then motions as if they're about to draw at someone(a police officer in this case). That person is not going to be given a chance. It's split second/life or death decisions here.

So why didn't the cop shoot??

that is not true...a person aint in a life or death situation simply because they think they are...their perception could be false and completely misjudge the moment...

nikkas out here are almost too morbidly funny breh.
Do you see how white women nowadays are out here reminding everybody – in every possible way – that a woman can dress however she likes and go wherever she so desires (at whatever time) expecting to not be raped. No victim-blaming they say, and we're little by little accepting this narrative (which I'm cool with tbh).
Meanwhile black people are out here saying that black children that come out with a bb gun and act childishly with it can't blame anyone but themselves for getting shot. So we gotta blame the parents (who probably didn't know that the kid took the orange cap out the gun) and the kid (for making a mistake some kids do) while the cops get full reign to be jittery because of their racial notions.

i agree

if you see someone and they "reach for something" (classic cop excuse) you don't know what they are gonna do; you might think you know. so you get scared and pull your gun out and shoot. you're goin down for some type of charge. the only ones immune to being charged are law enforcement it seems. being afraid of the unknown is not an excuse for deadly force.

When I was younger I actually painted that orange cap on my BB gun black for some stupid reason and used to go outside with it shooting at my friends. Coulda been me.

How the fukk is a twelve year old a threat to anyone in the first place?

He's black

 

[Ninjaz In Paris]

He was born black

Fixed.

My homie cousin killed three cops in Ensley in 2004, he was arrested.

It's like yall say stuff but don't think it through.

What the hell this got to do with anything?

 

[Deaf2twothirds]

These officers are so dumb they can't tell the difference b/w BBs & real burners. I think it was Alex Jones that brought out that Police officers IQ is capped to not be too high & have to be in a certain range in order for them to get hired.

 

[Tommy Knocks]

Reading caller transcript, that is some grade A snitching. That cac sounds like a professional teller. Who calls the cops for someone pointing a fake gun? Is there a law against that? That's not even disturbance cause nothing was fired

 

[Da King]

Apparently killing so-called Black people can't just earn you an indictment nowadays. Everything goes to Grand Jury. But the white man isn't the devil right?

Another grand jury of cacs
