California officer shoots and kills boy, 15, holding gardening tool

[horselightning]

It’s always a bullshit narrative. The kid was charging an officer with an improvised weapon capable of fatal force. The media: “baby boy with a garden toy murdered by police for being black”.

the family didnt even say he was autistic on 911 call. only after he died. strange.

Looked like a little kid at first. But when outside he looked bigger. He was a real charging threat and not stopping at all. Looks like the Police had little choice? Can’t turn your back on it and run? Maybe the gate was latched (self closing).

exactly and the family never said on the 911 he was autistic . only after he died.

Maybe 911 was familiar with that family but, if so, the dispatcher would have that info for the cop. I'm just assuming, not enough info.

i doubt it. its like saying cops are familiar with family. to many people they all service for that.

video here. the kid went nuts and charged towards the cop with a gardening tool. he didnt obey orders. they had to shoot him. this was justified shooting. course the parents are starting up again. they called him because he was doing the same to them.

Did they "have to shoot him", or were they too lazy to deal with it properly?
