    Chicago police shooting of teen- Body cam footage.

    Released two hours ago and Im not really up on this story, but since its breaking, I am posting. And no, I am not giving commentary on the story as its not required and forcing me to would be censorship.

    I'm going to defend the cops actions just a little.

    Likely he saw the gun in his hand as the kid was throwing it, but didn't see him toss it.

    Still a bad decision.

    What the cop saw with his real eyes and what we see in a video are somewhat different. Kind of like having sex in real life vs watching the porn video you made- different angle. knowledge and feel for the event.

    Random note- The officer was using his flashlight or weapon light in "strobe mode". Strobe mode is used to blind the suspect, did it work, I dont know. Was it a handheld light or weapon mounted light, I dont know. I personally do not like the strobe feature on any light, just doesnt work for me.

    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

    Really? I thought it was a 1, but could have been a 2 also. Now I wonder if it should be moved over.

    We really are in strange times when an armed gangbanger who was involved in a some sort of shooting at 2:30 am (which was why the police were there in the first place) running from police is propped up as some sort of martyr for the people on the technicality he dropped his gun 1 second before he was shot. Of course all the media gaslighting going on right now isn't helping much either.\

    In saner times the narrative would be focused on what is going on that 13 year olds are gang banging, walking the streets armed, and being involved in gang shootings at 2:30 am on a weekday. Where the hell are his family? His community? But these dont appear to be particularly sane times.

    Yup, calling BS on this one. I rarely side with the police, but this kid had it coming.

    A gun changes everything. The police were responding to a shooting, a fucking shooting!

    I'm sorry, you want to start carrying a gun and shooting in my neighborhood? I hope you fucking get shot by the police. I don't care if you're 2-100, black or white.

    Should be gathering outside the parents house, asking, how or why was your 13 year old son out at 2:30 am endangering the community and law enforcement?

    Chicago police shhotinbg of teen- Body cam footage.

    Someone speculated that his arm was up because he was throwing the pistol over the fence prior to jumping over it and that’s when the officer was the pistol in hand up in the air.

    Me- Kinda watching this case, but not so much. Still a Tier 2 story unless they riot, then goes to Tier 1.

    how exactly would you having to comment on the video in a meaningful manner be censorship?
