I wouldn't exactly say that the aunt of the victim would be a calm, objective witness.
The fact of the matter is, the kid was doing everything he could to get the cops to shoot him. He succeeded.
"Suicide by cop" isn't that rare of a thing.
And we all know that cops never get excited, and are always objective.
Clear case of a statist authoritarian defending cops no matter what.
I would say this is a "clear case" of you hating cops, as you do in every single thread involving them. I don't see anything I've posted as "defending cops".
Of course the cops got "excited". That's exactly what the kid was trying to do - "excite" the police, so they'd shoot him.
On August 23, Ottawa, Kansas police shot Joseph Jennings 16 times, even as his aunt and uncle begged them not to. According to KCTV in Ottawa, Jennings was suicidal. He had taken an overdose August 21, and two police officers helped to save his life. Both of those officers were involved in gunning down the teen, two days later.
Jennings was released from Ransom Memorial Hospital two days after the suicide attempt, on August 23. His Aunt, Brandy Smith, told KCTV that he left the house just a few hours after returning home, apparently on a suicide mission. Smith said that she looked out her window and saw Jennings outside, as well as six police officers. She and her husband ran to the scene.

I don't hate anyone.
How do you know what the kid was thinking? Can you read minds? Unlike you, I go by facts, which are clearly lacking at this point in time. I don't pretend I can read minds, nor do I leap to conclusions based on my bias. If I were like you I would be claiming these police gunned down an innocent child.
Not being that stupid, I prefer to mock idiots who think they have all the answers, AKA statist authoritarians.
I'm just going by what the family said. They're the ones saying he was suicidal.
In response to the shooting, Ottawa Police Chief Dennis Butler said the officers were doing what they are trained to do.
“They reacted based upon the training that they’ve been given from the academy. We were thankful that no officer was injured from protecting themselves from risk of great bodily harm.”
How could any of the officers have gotten injured if he only had a BB gun? It doesn't make sense.
How would any of the officers known that it was just a BB gun?

"At a Sunday news conference, authorities declined to answer specific questions about the shooting, including how many shots were fired and whether Jennings was armed."
"Jennings puffed out his chest at officers, Smith said, and made several gestures that could have looked like he was going for a gun."
