Argue it all you want kids, the cop shot an unarmed kid who was surrendering. I don’t get away with doing that kind of thing and neither should a cop.

The ‘tragic’ lad was carrying the pistol the entire time the officer was chasing him, had been involved in a shooting which is why he was being chased in the first place, tosses the pistol in a way that the officer can’t see less than a second before he was shot and we are told he was ‘unarmed’.

No, that’s not what happened. Argue it all you want: the mainstream media’s lie is not the truth.

Nobody has Godlike omniscience. We all operate according to the information we have.

The information the officer had: he saw the kid was armed. He chased the kid. He did not see the kid toss the gun. The information available to him would lead any officer to think that the kid was armed and a deadly threat.
