He had no time to do anything. Fuck.

Graphic in that you can see him drop behind the cop car, but not blood flying, etc graphic.

1. Wow! It looks like the cop wasn't even fully out of the car when he shot him

2. That cop lied his ass off.

The boy didn't even have time to fully react to any commands.

3. why didn't they shoot

him in the arm, shoulder, leg? I just don't know how hoodie wearing black kids turned into such a threat to all the cowardly fucks that fear and hate them. Oh that's right, they're "demons" also. Keep up the good work amerikkka, at this rate you'll be free in a few centuries from the fear and threat of the "demon" blacks....

4. That is not how it works in reality.

The failure was the officer's decision to deploy deadly force. Shooting someone in the shoulder, is still an exercise of deadly force. (Brachial Artery) Not to mention you're likely to hit something much more vital than the contents of the shoulder in such a situation. You'd likely be appalled by the training/marksmanship of your average police officer.

In Seattle, a couple years back, a kid stole a police car. Two SPD vehicles passed each other, each officer thinking the other was the kid. They both stopped and opened fire on each other. 31 rounds discharged. Nobody hit a fucking thing.

Earlier this year, in New York, NYPD officers opened up on a man actually holding a weapon. 9 bystanders shot.

It would be nice if they could attempt to do less-lethal things, but once the firearm is involved, they are going to put bullets center mass. Which means, their target is going to die.

With predictable consequences when the use of force is questionable, as in this case.

5. I know, I was in vietnam

I'm just at the end of my rope and reaching for straws.

6. Understood. It would be nice, if it were possible.

It would give the victim SOME recourse in the case of an unjustifiable use of force.

No board of inquiry can un-dead someone.

8. Why did they drive up next to him where they felt endangered?

7. Another execution.

9. Drive by execution...by police. That 911 caller, and the despatcher that didn't pass on that it

"may be a toy gun" will have to live with a lot of guilt.
