Adam Toledo(13 y.o) shot by police with his hands up

[You Win Perfect]

He was armed with a weapon that had been used in the commission of a crime only a few minutes prior and running from the police. It didn't necessarily have to end in the manner that it did but it would be hard to convince a jury this was a case of malice or sheer incompetence/negligence.

Doesn’t matter. If you take someone’s life when it’s not justifiable even if its an accident ... you go to prison

Cops would give a white boy more than a second before shooting them. Cops don’t give black folk a chance. They (gang/friend) could’ve gave that kid the gun and told him to run. That babys brain ain’t developed enough 13 year old is a baby. Cop just put the final nail in his coffin contributed by society, the system, his parents, his friends etc.

he wasn’t black

Y'all are so dumb
It's negligence because the use of force was not warranted
How many mass shooters have the police killed this year
None
They either kill themselves or get taken in alive

You're the idiot, or you just haven't been paying attention. Your personal feelings on the shooting don't really matter. What matters is if the cop will not only be charged but convicted and sentenced appropriately. There have been clear cut cases of police brutality/murder of unarmed citizens where it was a struggle just to get the cop charged let alone a conviction. This kid was running from the cops armed with a weapon that was just used in a crime. A jury is going to give the cop the benefit of the doubt off that alone. Plus he didn't empty the clip in the kid, he shot once to put him down. That is going to make him look like a professional who made a split decision. Even the asking, "are you alright" after he just shot someone in the chest is going to be looked at as compassionate by the jury.

"He was just doing his job under high stress." -Average Juror

He didn't kneel on his neck for 10 minutes He didn't kill Toledo while he was chilling on his couch unarmed eating ice cream after entering the wrong apartment. And he didn't "accidentally" pull out his gun instead of taser to further subdue an already subdued suspect.

A jury isn't going to care about how white suspects get taken in alive. They aren't going to care that technically he could have resolved it without killing Toledo because they aren't going to consider the use of force wrong given the circumstances.

Cops and cop wanna bes have literally gotten away with murder against unarmed suspects that weren't even committing crimes but you think that this cop is going to get convicted by a jury of his peers for shooting a suspect who had a gun in his hands? You're not going to find 12 people who will condemn him for making that split second decision because they are going to put themselves in his shoes.

People here be acting like being a cop isn't do or die sometimes. Had that kid shot the cop nobody would care.

This thought doesn't have anything to do with the circumstances of the shooting but I do wonder how some of y'all would feel if it turned out Toledo and his OJ were shooting at some brehs.

It wouldn't change anything surrounding the officer involved shooting but I know for a fact some opinions would change.

It'd be like in the other thread where the cop pretty much invited that Mexicac to make him into a memory.

"Cop should have shot him. He would have shot him if he were black."

Pretty much how that situation would go.

I'm saying. We need to stay out of this one.

Shorty was running around at 2 AM with a 21 year busting shots. Youngin shoulda tossed the burner while he was still running not keep in his hands, stop, drop it and then turn around.

 

[saturn7]

His podna did him dirty. The 21 year old tossed Toledo the biscuit. He ended up being taken alive.

 

[luciddreamer]

Out of everyone on this site there's no-one that's a cop.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

The boy should have kept running. Cop wasn't going to shoot while sprinting.

Either the cop tackles you or you get away.

Once he stopped, he should have kept his back to the cop and kept his arms down. Cops always say "put your hands up but then they get scared and shoot when you actually lift your arms.

The movement is what scares cops, not the arm position. They should stop telling people to put their hands up. Just stop moving, period.

Small group but I really dont see any mestizo latinos in this video.

bet his defense will claim the gun wasn't his and they already publicized the gunpowder was on the kids sleeve. i wonder if the gun powder got there after the officer shot him and made physical contact with him or after the gun was fired by the 21yr old.

That 21yr old is probably the only one relieved that kid is dead cause he'll get reduced charges.

Once I saw the full video my entire view of this changed drastically. Live by the gun...die by the gun.
