…i dont know man. i mean of course the cops is wicked. but, the reporting and the response, the quick response to fire the cop…i just dont see that when the victim is black. just dont see it. if he was black, be a different story. they'd be trying to paint the victim as a criminal…especially if he had a gun!! you wouldnt hear the end of it
Fired. That's all?😒
I think a better question is why are parents raising kids that shoot at the cops they sue when that kid gets shot
Do not ever believe what comes out of the police mouth. We must see the video!!!🧐
Brahhhhhhh he ambushed the cops. And they get in trouble for taking him down. 🤦 Shameful .
She in on it don't trust no police
So if it would have been some black kid the cops would have been justified for this shooting. After all the kid was shooting at them. 🤨
if that kid really had the gun and was a threat, then he deserved no extra bonus for his age. if he wanted to play like big boys he get the same consequences.
his father is already in prison, I wonder why and I wonder if young welfare office / authorities failed to take care of this family and protect him from bad influence
we live in a disgusting place if people on the Internet archering the 12-year-old is dead
Only cowards shoot people in the back. Even back in the days of the wild West if you shot somebody in the back you were considered a coward. This kid was running away posing no threat but the cop had to be a coward and shoot the kid in the back. I will use this video of this to teach my grandchildren not to trust the police and that the police are not your friends. This is just more proof that law enforcement does not care about human lives. Serve and protect is a thing of the past.
Yup he’s white he gets a pass 🤷🏾♀️
don't blame the gun wear ever he got the gun that the person should do life in prison thay are the reason he got shot.like texting and driving its not a accident it's murder a accident can not be helped or prevented
Don't worry it's normal
She lying
Ummmm..from what i recall of law. Once a officer is fired upon. Thats assault with deadly force. And attempted murder. At which time the officer can return fire. Running away or not the officer does not know if the offender even if he dropped a gun has anotber gun on him or not. Sooooo explain to me where the cop went wrong.
You cops are stupid……by now you'll should realize to let the criminals roam free. Society are against and it doesn't make senses even when doing your job….A minor shoots at you and all they study is he's a minor….let the criminals roam free
O shheeeiiittt y'all dey finna hurd da gun fyre
There are no riots or protests over this.
Not sure why he’s being fired — they shot at the cops and the boy had a gun 🤷🏽♂️
Fired?!?! Charge him with MURDER!!!!!!
The cops did the right thing. Notice how there are no White Lives Matter protesters and no rioting and looting from the White community. Fire Outlaw and recall Krasner.
All these negative comments need to stop a kid was murder!
When you shoot at cops you DESERVE what you get. Another POS is off the streets forever. Glad no cops were hurt.
Hey, if that kid shot at the cops, he deserves what he got. They gave him the same respect. Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes
She is a cute cop
Live by the gun die by the gun…kid prob had a gun in his hand when he got shot.. back turned or not …if u have a gun in hand while getting Chased by cops expect to get shot before arrest… anyone really surprised here? Did the media deliver this properly enough to confuse u and think the kid with the gun shooting at cops is right.. and the cops protecting community are wrong?
Little homie made a mistake and paid the ultimate price. Dont shoot cops unless you want them to light you up.
Was it a black officer
He not even black fool whasss up wit dat ?
…. there is no alternative tit for tat, and the police action was natural if not totally justified. Ban NRA's business in North America ….
Were going to find out Police did not have there emergency lights on – they try to surprise the boys / shot the kid in the back as he ran away / and they did not find a weapon – listen carefully to police – they do not talk about child only they did everything right /// we will see
The kid was 12, but he had a gun. The little monster fired that gun at the cop. Social justice is all well and good, but there is such a thing as nuance.
To the devil a badge is just a mirage. Use it to get in position.
If you win a lawsuit against them your put on a bucket list…. reality
I thought they were lying. If you win a lawsuit you better watch out this is Matrix. Third one I've heard of
That kid never had a chance.
He was probably going to end up dead or in prison anyway. It's sad but true.
This is or was the way he was raised and I'm betting it goes way back to great grandparents.
