You truly need to seek professional help. You are literally one of the most unhappy people I have ever come across. Are you ever happy? When is the last time you smiled?

I'm 33. When I was 12 or so, I had a BB gun that looked just like a 9mm. No safety tip and matte black. I carried it in my waistband. I waved it around. My friends had them too.
There was not a moment when I thought a police officer would shoot me without warning for a toy. My friends and I all made it to adulthood.
Despite the fact that we live in the statistically safest times in modern history, it sure seems police act as if they are in the most dangerous warzone in the world where 12-year olds can be suicide bombers.

All I can say is that it's ridiculously easy to judge a split second decision from a computer where we have the luxury of no adrenaline and viewing it as a spectator. The kid had a gun and was waving it around, that's not debatable. My only wth is the fact that it appears that they came flying in almost on top of him. That's dangerous for them as well if that gun had been real.

Some of you saying the cops should have handled this situation better need to be dispatched to a situation where someone is walking around with a gun, not knowing what you're really getting yourself into. Are the cops supposed to wait until they get shot at before they react?
Go frick yourself.
Police isn't even in the top ten of most dangerous jobs.
But everybody in that list would be facing charges

Because he's 12. 12 year olds do stupid shite. They're on the bridge between true children and pubescents. Hormones rage. They don't understand their place in the world or how they fit. Should they play with toys or chase girls. Nothing make sense anymore.
They do irrational shite.
THEY'RE TWELVE!

Same here. I think all boys have done such. the kid was 12, not even a teen. That's 6th or 7th grade. Times have changed, for sure.

As one of my friends put it...

But one thing that I'm getting increasingly fed up with is this sentiment that police officers can't be expected to be faced with any amount of danger. It's absurd to me.
That's kind of the point of having them. I always kind of thought that when you became a police officer, you were consenting to the possibility of being faced with a certain amount of risk. That's the reason why you start so many sentences with "I PUT MY LIFE ON THE LINE EVERY DAY...!".
But, if all you can be bothered to do is shoot someone immediately with no attempt to diffuse a situation, than you're not really putting your life on the line. If you're given license to kill any man, woman, child, or dog that looks at you sideways because you wanna make it home at night, then your job *really* isn't all that dangerous.

We don't use deadly force from our computers.
And the kid didn't have a gun.
The cos would have learned that if they didn't show up ready to shoot.
A rookie shot him. A trigger happy rookie.
He deserves to go to trial at least.
We would go to trial, and probably jail.

So, mine are skewed. Yours aren't.

Did you even read the article? The cops were called to a situation with a suspect waving a gun around, they were not told it was fake. Turn the lights on in your mom's basement so you can read your screen better.
Also, go frick yourself.

Well their calls are recorded, so if they lied about it, it's not going to be hard to prove.
And I doubt their supervisor is going to put his career on the line to lie for them.

A blog? Come on.
CATO institute has proven that lie wrong.

And no shots had been fired. No one was dead. It was a juvenile -- surely they included that in the call.
Cops negotiate with active shooters all the time. Bank robberies, hostage situations, crazy dude that barricades himself in his house.
They try to resolve the situation.
Nowhere in SOP is drive really close to the suspect, hop out of the car and blast him twice.
NOWHERE.
At least one of these cops was a fricking coward and his cowardice led him to kill a twelve-year old boy.
frick him. Stop making excuses.

You're cute.
I asked for the video from a DUI arrest and the police department said they"lost it".
It showed him choking me for denying any tests but a blood test
