he says its probably fake, also says he doesn't know. he also called 911 to mention it
if he knew it was fake and was harmless i dont think he woulda gone that far
Look I know you guys hate cops but what if how you say the cops didnt shoot the suspect pulling out a gun and shot somebody around that wasn't even the cops? You people would probably be crying WTF why did the cops hesitate to shoot him?
Oh wait, cops need to be asking everyone if there gun is fake now I guess...
he says its probably fake, also says he doesn't know. he also called 911 to mention it
if he knew it was fake and was harmless i dont think he woulda gone that far
pussy ass cop slipped after firing his gun trying to run for cover.
right, so dispatcher should have relayed that info to the cops. that small detail could have saved a life.
From now on cops need to just sit back and let the crime happen first dammit!!!
so if they told the cops, the gun might be real, might be fake, and when they got there the first thing the kid did was lift and point it at them, they would wait? i dont know. maybe things would be different if the standard orange tip wasn't removed. thats exactly what the orange safety tips are for tbh
could have saved a life
Is this your insinuation of back pedaling from your previous posts of blaming the cops? A dispatcher is not a cop.
who cares about that. his SSN and adress is posted.
New policy needs to be changed on how they test a real gun from a fake by the bullets in their body. Cops are paid to be pullet sponges duh...
first off all, the kid never pointed the gun. he was pulling it out of his waistband in fear of 2 dumbass cops pulling up on him while he was sitting at a park.
if the dispatcher would have told them the gun may be fake, the location is a rec center full of children, the suspect is a juvenile, the cops would have handled the situation differently instead of agitating a gunfight at a rec center full of children resulting in loss of life.
oh noes he was been verified and they found nothing...oh noes!
when the suspect is a 12 yr old kid.....yeah you make damn sure that thing is real before you ing shoot. 12 year olds are known for playing with toy guns and toys that could be mistaken for guns.
why would pulling out a fake gun be a response to fear of cops?
...perhaps if he wasn't sitting around with D'arick and and Jaquwayln listening to songs about shooting the police he wouldn't have pulled a fake gun on them in "fear" and wound up dead.
a 12 year old is also less likely to understand consequences to actions, ie more prone to do something stupid or irrational. could think its all a game, etc
seriously?
If someone told you that a revolver "probably" had no bullets in it, would you play Russian Roulette?
seriously.
I remember when i was 12 or 13 i was playing airsoft with my friends....had the orange tip off of my m16 and everything. a cop rolled up calm as and told us someone reported a kid with a gun and that i needed to put the orange tip back on so i did.....thats how you handle a situation like that.
and yep, im white.
What kind of lawyer are you hoping to be?
whoever is hiring. i've been working at an IP firm for the past couple of years, like what they do
i find it hard to believe that somebody would think pulling a gun out in front of the cops is an appropriate way to make the situation safer for yourself
Anyone can sit back and play on the the what ifs. Pretty easy to do sitting comfortable behind a computer screen with all the time in the world to think about it. This is real life where a moment of hesitation can get people killed.
Once again though I hate that the kid was killed, noone should have to be killed but sadly this is not a perfect world.
Also sadly age vs crime is becoming very blurred in this day and age. Should that be? no but once again its happening and that does need to be changed yes.
is this someone a 12 year old???
ummm maybe because he's 12 and 2 police officers just pulled up on him with guns drawn. that can cause fear in 12 year olds.
Perhaps you have a point with an adult. This is a 12-year old kid. Granted, it wasn't the best move to reach for something, but he might've panicked. You mix that up with a in' rookie on lead patrol, you have a situation that went to the end game expediently.
