Based on a patrons 911 call? Those cops are walking into a situation they have no control over.

Man, I don't know you at all, but if you aren't a cop you really do need to step back and take a good look at what's going on. It's not good...at all.
What isn't good at all? The murders everyday blacks commit?
See, are we talking about bias from cops? If so, thats a whole nother thread.

No one should expect a Wal-Mart manager to risk his life confronting a customer with what appears to be a weapon. Police were a good call here.
However, whatever happened to containing the situation? Why not clear the area and call out for the kid to drop the weapon? He didn't even know the cops were there, there were plenty of aisles to provide coverage and could have had more time to determine what exactly was going on. No one was in immediate danger. They should have tried to contain & control the situation instead of rushing in.
The fact that no one expects this any more is so concerning.

The manager at this store could have prevented this too. Ask the guy to leave, guy says it's a BB gun he got off the shelf, manager says he needs to put it in a box or leave it if he didn't want to buy it. No cops. No story.
Come on dude, the manager of Wal-Mart has no need to put himself in a position to confront someone walking around the store with a gun.

Cops now shoot first and ask questions later. They act like they are fighting in Fallujah and they have a license to kill civilians. To them, everyone is a threat. All they have to do is say they feared for their safety.

What are with some of the comments here? Whether you think the officers were justified in the heat of the moment, a stress I admit I can't understand, some people here are spitting on the kids body for being killed from an innocent (however dumb) mistake. No one won here and no one thinks you're awesome for being so cold applauding the cops.
Everything tells me that they wanted to neutralize a perceived threat without being cautious to ascertain that's what it was. I'm not going to Monday morning quarterback it but you guys acting like this is the way it had to or should have happened are fricked up.
And I'll admit I am typically biased towards defending/believing cops in these stories.

Isn't that what the good ole boys in every branch of government is about? Policy? The process? It's very clear there is no longer a process, and policy is just used as an excuse when it supports them. Now, if it causes an eyebrow to raise, you are done.
I honestly don't know what the frick you are talking about at this point. I simply responded to a post stating that he had a right to carry the "alleged" rifle in the store. My response was a direct quote from Walmart's firearm policy.

The president and AG happen to be black.
Get over your reperations phase.

I wonder what BoogerNuts thinks about your statement.

I'm white as they come, 31, country as hell, was raised with prejudices. I acknowledge the fact that the violent crime rate heavily favors blacks. But you're a piece of shite for that. No one should die because if the pigment of their skin at birth. Nothing you say holds any substance whatsoever anymore.

I have to disagree with that. The shelving would basically be soft cover in the case of a shooter. Bullets would penetrate and still be deadly.

I believe that is what those in the business call a "bad shooting."

Manager should know what the FN SCAR replica he carries in his store looks like. And if he doesn't want to have to confront folks carrying one around, they should have them in a locked display.

Stupid frick got what he deserved.
Posted on 9/24/14 at 9:15 pm to GRTiger
I would say that according to the policy you posted, the manager should have done his job and asked him to leave. Use the PA system if you have to. The fact he didn't do his job cost a man his life.
That's what BoogerNuts would say.

Again, this would be another thread if stats provide bias for cops.
Start the thread, and we could debate it.

frick you dude. I didn't say that at all.
If you want to have a serious debate, don't drop down to the level of the race baiters.

A BB gun?
The fact that you idiots don't think the government should be SURE about something before executing children is really a sad indicator of how far backwards society is going. Maybe it's a southern thing, I don't know.

Murder is completely legal as long as you have a badge,
Pay your dues to the big blue union, and only target minorities/easy targets.
I can only hope these cops that murdered that kid have a gun out in public and get the same frantic treatment.
