September 15, 201610 yr Read story and discuss who is at fault. Kid or cops? 13-year-old Ohio boy shot and killed by police after pulling out BB gun | Fox News
September 15, 201610 yr You're being chased/questioned by cops and you pull a toy gun? I don't care if he was only 13, you can't be that big of a moron, can you?
September 15, 201610 yr They were responding to a call about armed robbery and when they approached the group they ran. Doesn't sound likely they knew it was a 13 year old. Horrible situation. Even if they did, you can't pull something out of your waste band like that.
September 15, 201610 yr Do we know if there were body cameras? Right now, we know nothing except what the media wants us to know and those people are the 2nd least trustworthy people on my list.
September 15, 201610 yr According to this story, there were no body cameras. Police: BB gun of teen killed by cop looked like firearm
September 15, 201610 yr "Police reviewing evidence from the scene determined the boy's firearm was actually a BB gun with an attached laser sight." Why would a bb gun have a laser sight?
September 15, 201610 yr According to this story, there were no body cameras. Police: BB gun of teen killed by cop looked like firearm Not good because it now allows for endless speculation. The challenge is figuring out why a kid/person who is being confronted by an officer with his weapon out would "go to the waistband" knowing he had no firepower.
September 15, 201610 yr Not good because it now allows for endless speculation. The challenge is figuring out why a kid/person who is being confronted by an officer with his weapon out would "go to the waistband" knowing he had no firepower. Total speculation on my part but maybe he was going to pull it out to drop it?! I can think of absolutely no other reason unless you had a death wish. A 13 year old probably doesn't understand the ramifications of pulling a gun out to surrender versus just putting your hands up and letting them know you have a "weapon".
September 15, 201610 yr "Police reviewing evidence from the scene determined the boy's firearm was actually a BB gun with an attached laser sight." Why would a bb gun have a laser sight? I've had a BB rifle with a scope and it was pretty accurate. Not sure the type of gun the kid had would be that accurate. Since they released the other kid, can we assume they were no longer the suspects from the robbery? Another case of a kid getting shot for running from the cops.

As much as the media makes it look like the cops are out hunting blacks and as much as the BLM movement bashes the cops and accuses them of indiscriminate killing.

Yep, total speculation, but, i happen to agree with you, i think.
September 18, 201610 yr Did the police say if the victim was one of the original group that prompted the call?
