When I saw that GIF, the kid had the gun until he turned around. Cop isn't as culpable as I first thought.


Yea I see what you mean. That’s a tough one.

Part of me thinks what else was the kid supposed to do at the point when he stopped.

Regardless, this will be an interesting one to follow because that is as bad of a video as we have ever seen if you aren’t paying attention but I’m going to predict this goes nowhere because he’s not black.

If he was black they would claim this one as the worst of all because it’s a kid who put his hands up.

Toss the gun away and raise hands, turn around when told.

But a 13 year old wouldn't understand. I don't blame the kid. I blame the adult.

hands up and then you turn around

Have no clue how a reasonable person can expect an officer not to pull a trigger when a criminal turns and faces them with a gun in their hand at their side

I was just curious if they were taking up sides. Hopefully Beetlejuice has a fun costume ready to go for her exclusive.

Definitely cause for killing him. Should’ve been tucked into bed like a good 13 year old.



Well attempted murder is grounds to kill him.

The world is a better place with this piece of shite dead in a pool of his own blood.

Good riddance!

Question for those adamant the cop is guilty

In police training, what do you think they should teach to do when a criminal turns and faces them with a gun?

A. Wait and see if the criminal shoots you

B. Shoot first

Did the kid fire the shots?

I was under the impression he did not.

For those with short memories, this is what cops are potentially facing every time they go on shift.



I have no sympathy for anyone who fires a gun and then runs from the cops who respond.

Officer Jarrott played nice cop and now there are 4 kids without their father.

Do we know if the gun was tossed at the site where he was shot or did it happen earlier in the pursuit? You can’t tell for the video. Is it in the police report/is the report public?

It bothered me at first. The GIFs cleared it up.

Kid still had the gun until the final seconds. No one could see it.

The video from behind the fence is exculpatory for the cop. The kids has his back to the cop and is clearly digging a gun out of his pockets milliseconds before he turns around and faces the cop.

I just don’t understand why cops don’t just try to hug criminals more. They just need love.

cop had his gun trained on him, he could have waited a split second longer to confirm no weapon before firing with no danger.

You have no idea what you’re talking about. A gun isn’t a magic laser that instantly neutralizes someone. People have been shot a half dozen times and still returned fire.

Yep. Until I saw the GIFs and stills, couldn't tell.

I just dont understand what parent let's a special needs kid play at 230 am on the streets of chiraq.

That’s WHY he’s special needs. He wasn’t raised by parents. He was probably raised by a television.
