Your reporting is disgusting and you're always try to push a narrative. The gun was stolen you twits! What law would stop that?
This is why I don't like cops. So sad! If u go to other countries you NEVER hear about this stuff.
50% of cops are scum, they have no clue what they are doing. America should re train them all. It's pathetic
"CLEAN SHOOTING"
BACK THOSE COPS 💯%👌🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I hope the cops are ok…. Maybe the city is a little bit safer now … We've gotta stop these young Hoodlums and Thugs‼️
All said and done, why is a 12 year old out with a gun in his hand. The woman who didn't want her face shown gave that ridiculous explanation about police not identifying themselves. But what was the 12 year old doing with a gun and also shooting at folks, whether he knew they were police or not.
it fired first
good riddance
They need to shoot more like him. Take back the streets.
Criminal interment camp…in the desert
Where is the body cam footage
Regardless of who shot first, identifying as police or not, no child needs to possess a firearm, wtf is going on with this world. Prayers to the family of the deceased.
They will lie about it as usual.Gun , gun , gun, wake up america.
Sticky situation ….
Not surprised, they will acquit him or her ,and they will Co tinue killing, never held responsible for their bad action,thinking they are above the law
odds are he would have murdered somebody or had murdered people had he used a hammer it would have been fine for some
where were the parents? what's that kid doing out there? so many questions, no answers…the definition of 'senseless'.
“Interesting” this wasn’t made nationwide news.
So sad and tragic
So sad and I blame the parents!
He shot at the cops. This is not news. This is righteous. Charge the parent (s) like you did in Michigan.
Oh well
The mom who tried to justify the kids shooting at the cops🤡
So it's claimed that boy shot at the officers so they shot back. Meanwhile there are f**kng terrorists running around this country and most cops turn a blind eye to it!!!
F**k it shoot the nukes already!!!
Thugs in blue
