BBCNewsHD 3AM is BBC World NewsHD shown in America & the World & UK
so they begin with this new released video story.

That Officer that shot the Armed 13 year old is
on Administrative duty, at this time,
which is very normal after a shooting like that.

[arista]

The 13 year old was Armed with a Gun while running
in a matter of seconds he dropped the gun
put his hands up, but was shot in his chest.
And Died.

The Laywer is Right he was unarmed
but says Nothing about him running with a Gun in his hand?

Yes but he had a GUN

[Crimson Dynamo]

why was a 13 year old boy out at that time with a gun

lets work that out first before the looting starts

Apparently his nickname was 'Lil Homicide'

[bots]

anyone out with a gun in the early hours of the morning is asking for trouble, whether it be the police or someone else. You don't have a gun in your hand unless you intend to use it

[Amy Jade]

Although he had a gun imo in the footage released he did not and had his hands raised in surrender so why did they shoot?

I dont think the law enforcement agent was sitting at home looking at a YOu tuvbe video at the time - that is a luxury we all have

The 21 year old Criminal arrested with him
gave him the Gun.

Hang ON
the Police have Confirmed
it was split second
that he had no gun.



Amy FACT
he was running with that gun.
Please do not ignore that.

[Tom4784]

He was surrendering, the police officers were probably salivating over the chance to kill a latin child.

Yeah I'm guessing probably not

[Denver]

Shows you how weak and power hungry the US police are if they have to kill a groomed 13 year old boy who surrendered

No he didn't have the gun, he had done as told and stopped, and shown them his empty hands.

[Beso]

No he didn't have the gun, he had done as told and stopped, and shown them his empty hands.

True...but he did originally have a gun. Perhaps a carrier and therefore a used black kid by his elders..one used to transport a gun for a quick 20 bucks.



Dont really matter what it is imo
.

Theres a dead kid on the street, and that's enough said.about the usa atm.

A country we happily align ourselves with due to its celebs.


Very very very sad all round really.

Yes but in a split second.

[Alf]

Where did a 13 year old get a gun from?

The title of the thread needs to change.
His hands were in the air to surrender at time of shooting.
It was not a split second.
Arista is breaking his own rules with his misleading thread title.

...this exactly from the vid that has been released...if it was believed that the child had a gun then what was the purpose of asking to see his hands and then shooting to kill the moment he did just that and showed them his hands...the child was shot dead just 19 seconds after the officer had exited his car...an officer who has pledged to protect, a child who did what was asked of him and showed his hands and was then shot dead../..a family who will never see their child again, it’s just too sad and too wrong...

....this is an article that just came up on my newsfeed ...as it’s related, I’ll post it...I’m never totally familiar with American News people and shows etc so I’m not familiar with Sean Hannity but I feel that I’ve seen vids on here from time to time in topics... anyway the premise of the article is that Sean Hannity apparently described Adam Toledo as a ‘thirteen year old man’ because it’s said he was armed...but he’d previously described Kyle Rittenhouse who had travelled across state lines with and unlicensed AR-15 and shot two people dead as “a little boy trying to help his community”...

...the article...

What kind of country sees Adam Toledo as a ‘thirteen-year-old man’ and Kyle Rittenhouse as a ‘little boy’?

To be fair that's just Andy Ngo, not the whole country - I think most people see Ngo as a bit of a joke tbh

He's not black but you obviously see the issue with black people being shot frivolously to assume he was, no?

Either way he had thrown the gun and surrendered, it was obviously a terrible decision to shoot him

[Amy Jade]

Arista is spreading fake news :worry:

Yes but it was in a Split Second
so the Police are correct to shoot
under guidance

The Officer does not have to wait to be shot.

The same country that will shoot a person of colour in a second but will go to lengths to take in a white mass murderer unharmed. It's just pure unadulterated systemic racism.

On the subject of the racist murderer, Kyle Rittenhouse, a recent data breach has revealed that a number of police and public officials has donated to his cause, they are aiding the cause of a person who murdered unarmed people who were protesting against police brutality.... America is rotted to the core.
