I find the attitude to this case quite disturbing. Regarding this case, It has been asked on many occasions, why did the officers not park their car a reasonable distance from the boy - they could park up to 100 yards away - and issue him an instruction to drop the gun and get on the ground from inside their squad car. The officers have not said why they didn't do that but have admitted they did not do that, so for all intents and purposes they drove straight up and shot him. I find the attitude of people, in a case where a real alternative has been put forward, to still say the officers "had no choice" to be rather disturbing.

If they had no choice its cuz they drove up far too close and gave themselves no choice.

Still nothing will come of this but I wouldn't rule out some civil unrest due to this decision..
