Do you know if he could have approached from a different angle/further away ? Were there people in that park that the vehicle got b/t to prevent injury to them in case of gunfire ? No, but you want to fire the "useless cop driving the vehicle", yet you don't know the circumstances. One thing you do know is a 12 year old boy walked around a park with a fake handgun and pointed it at people. He also reached for it once the unit arrived. Was he crazy ? Probably, did he know it (the replica gun) would scare people, sure he did otherwise he wouldn't have been out there doing it. Bottom line is the kid put himself into that situation and as a result of his actions he is dead.

Watch the video. There seems to be a concrete area not too far from the gazebo.

That cop is a fricking idiot. It is what happens when you give a loser mother fricker a $35k a year job, a gun, and perceived power. A lot of our officers don't have enough sense to get out of the rain; those definitely don't need the amount of discretion that they're given.

Unfortunately, the dumbest of the dumb are the officers that has dealings with the public.

they drove up to him. they could have stopped at any point in the line that took them there.

it's a common theme with trigger happy cops. they intentionally put themselves into a dangerous situation and squeeze the trigger knowing that they will get off regardless of how badly they ignored their training
