    ‘clearly justified’ for shooting and killing a child point blank for threatening violence with a garden hoe? That officer reacted as if he was being hunted by a monster. You people need to learn some fucking empathy and common sense.

      Yeah. It sucks, but what did the family expect? They couldn’t control him and as soon as the police arrived he charged them with a weapon. Shit situation, but an entirely justified shooting.

        As if a grown ass officer couldn’t take down a teen wielding some gardening equipment without a lethal weapon.

          In some cases they can, but here the officer was charged and the attacker was able to get very close, another second and the officer could have been hit and then who knows what would happen. The footage shows a very clear threat.

            Yeah you’re out of your depth kid. That’s why you and that cop should never be cops.

        So what you are saying is when his parents called the cops, they should have expected their child to be killed in front of them?

          If they call the cops on an unstable person attacking them with a weapon, he might attack the cops who show up as well.

            lick that hoof harder, I’m sure it’ll save you if they break into your house serving a warrant to the wrong address and shoot your wife.
