Hope they catch and arrest all of those idiots.. Black or not, they should be in jail for it. End of story.
As for the protest... I don't understand that logic. What was there to protest exactly? 16 yr old black kid is hanging out with his friends. Yes, I understand... And a group of plainclothes police officers/dets approach them. And I know without having to read further that the group of kids KNEW these guys were all police officers by this point, because they ALWAYS let you know they are police officers (its like a race to post 'inb4').. And then this 16-yr old kid decides to run from them (we all know this is a bad fucking idea regardless of whatever race you are! Every time of day, this is a BAAAAAD IDEA). Okay... So the kid makes a break for it... and then he reaches into his pants/waistband...
Okay.. I'll stop right there.. So the kid is running from the police. And had he pulled out ANYTHING ELSE except for what they fear the most, then there might be a shred of a reason to hold a protest and get all wishy washy about how the cops are racist and god knows what else..
Nope!
The kid pulls out a LOADED .38 caliber handgun...
So... what are the police supposed to do next?
They follow protocol as witnesses claimed. They said STOP. And they said DON'T MOVE...
And then they shot the stupid fucking 16-yr old gangster kid that was running from them and pulled a loaded .38 cal handgun from his pants...
Protest something else you fucking assholes.
I hate when people hold these fucking protests, claiming the race card usually and then claiming how the police could do more to ID suspects. Calling this asshole guy, a "16 yr old" makes him sound like an innocent victim and a teenager... When really, if you had approached this lil fucker on the street at any other point before this happened, and told him he was just a 16 yr old kid and couldn't fend for himself and that he wasn't a man, but just a punk... Guess what? That 16-yr old kid would have either shot you with his loaded .38 cal, or whipped you with it or a whole assortment of other stupid shit people who are thugs do because they are better off dead like this one than living and rotting in jail or fucking people up on the streets.
If the same kid were white, or hispanic, I would hope the same results happened. Him being black doesn't make it different for me to comprehend that this dumb kid, needed to be taken the fuck out. Now his parents are going to scream and cry and try to sue the police. When really, the police should be suing them for not stopping their stupid 16 yr old kid from having that kinda gun with those kinds of intentions in the first place.
This is just another incident, in a very long line of more to come that genuinely make me give up all hope in humanity as a logical group or society. We are doomed.
Have a swell day!
