Shitty situation all around.

Eta
But to address the title of this thread, the people of Chicago would be supremely hypocritical to riot over this if they don’t riot over the hundreds of murders they have had this year.

Ah, THIS IS SO CLEAR HIS RIGHT HAND DOESNT HAVE A GUN

You realize by arguing it wasn't clear whether the kid had a gun, you're actually showing why it was a bad shoot, right?

Based on everything I've seen on this, that cop's arse is grass, and for a good reason.

is that not clear enough for you?


You grabbed a still shot of a fricking strobe light that was flickering a bunch before that point. You can't see shite in real time. GTFO.

Sorry it was 585 people shot. Now up to 864

Only 128 died.

It’s not. 131 for the first three months of 2021, but let’s not bring facts to the table. That Facebook meme said there was over 500, so that must be true

690,000 cops in the usa with a gun. You run from them and resist arrest, there's going to be some perps dying that shouldn't have been shot. We can't expect perfection, don't resist arrest or run from the police.


I understand mistakes happen and cops aren't perfect. Is it too much to ask for accountability and for people to be held accountable when they make said mistakes?

Even seeing it in real time, I didn't see anything obviously indicating a gun to me.

Further, my view is from a shitty body cam. The cop really has no excuse here. Trying to defend this is a waste of time and just makes you look like an actual boot-licker.

That's horrible to watch. Just a kid man. I've got one that age and it made me tear up.

That's still really fricked up. Almost 1000 people shot in a "gun free" city. Gun control sure does work

Why would an officer shoot at something he couldn't see clearly? Isn't that one of the cardinal rules of gun safety?

More up to date than yesterday? 422 people caught a hot one in the last 24 hours?

if 585 people have been killed in Chicago in 2021 that'd be more than 5 a day.

But it is Chicago, so maybe?

Thats my point. Yet police are the real problem.

You can't see shite in real time so it's okay put a round through their chest just in case?

This is a bad take. If you can't see then you don't shoot. That's a standard gun rule, regardless of who you are. Cop or civilian. That cop fricked up bad. No other way around it. Charges will and should be pressed.
