RE: Hard to Believe!!!!
Its not all puppy dogs and rainbows in the police force. Cops don't shoot to wound they shoot to kill. Think about it if they blasted the kids knee caps off he would turn around and sue them for millions when he told his side of the story. Police are not Santa Clause and can tell the difference between the good ones and the naughty ones. But im sure I would of done the same if after being sprayed and a warning shot the kid kept coming after me with his knives.
Not really defending the police but this story wasnt about a kid going home from school and J-walked. He did have knives,resisted arrest, ran and threatend to kill the officers. Size really doesnt matter either in my book.

Perhaps then it is good that not everyone goes by your book RC...
Aside from anything else ...
if 3 civilians opened fire all at once on a 15 year old kid for any reason ...they would do time without a doubt...
( "Cops don't shoot to wound they shoot to kill". )
May be that is the first thing that should be changed ..???

The public may never know all the details. Shootings by the police are never popular...and the cops are not sworn in to perform retroactive abortions. I do not believe that any cop goes to work thinkingIm gonna kill a teenybopper today.Truly a bad day for the kid and the cops involved...nobody comes out of that situation looking good.

Im going to go on RCRs side on this one. I dont care how the heck old you are, you threaten me and I give you due time to stop yer sh^&, Im probably going to drop you too. Blah blah blah, 15 so young, old enough to know the consequences of ones actions.
Like RCR said, its not like this was some innocent kid walking home or smoking some dope. Hes coming at you with knives and you already sprayed him, you fired a warning shot, .......... logical next step....... stop his action before he hurts you or one of your coworkers.
Good on the cops, just because your 15 doesnt get you a free pass in my book. Would all of you be saying the same thing if say the person was oh for examples sakes 30? Probably not, 15 is an adult, maybe not by law, but you have all the faculties to be considered one.

Why were the cops called in the first place?
Why were the cops called in the first place?
Because he was 15 , the cops came to check on the disturbance and after arriving then found him at the local shops nearby..
That's right ...he did not hold up any store , or threaten to kill any people at the shops ..he was just in a very bad mood...mouthing off to begin with...
Onlooker witnesses said he even stopped to pat a ladies dog just before the bloody cops showed up....then he bolted into the nearby park where they bailed him up...
So ...he did not do much wrong to start with except escape from his house in a bad mood causing his mum distress.....then mouthed off at a few peeps at the mall...
While at the shops ...he was seen patting a ladies dog before the cops rolled ...then when spotted was chased, then he was cornered by 4 fully grown men , cops, and then was shot to death by 3 of them with at least 6 bullets...... bloody hero's ..
I hope they all are riddled with guilt, have full on nervous breakdowns over this and with any luck ruin their own lives totally over a long drawn out period of suffering...
[align=center]RIP KIDDO
[/align][align=center]As you can see he was a real tough guy????
Obviously he was causing **** that evening ..but any of you that have bought up or with teenage boys now, might want to think what if he was yours ???? would you rather a responsible sensitive police force solved the situation by killing your son over what!!! ??? ...or would you want them to show enough guts to do it another bloody way , so that the kid can live and learn ....

RE: Hard to Believe!!!!
It sounds like mom and dad are going to be kicking themselves for a long time over the phone call. Maybe a trip to the park to chill out was exactly what the kid was looking for. When I was 15 my father and I were at each others throats constantly, so I can relate. I had a XL250 that I would climb on and thrash the **** out of till I calmed down. I only got picked up by the cops once for running up a road under construction... no guns involved. It took leaving home for a year on a student exchange half way around the world for my father and I to sort out our situation. After that he got smarter and I had enough experience under my belt to recognize the wisdom.
