I’m not the one throwing around curse words and insults here.
You drop something that is in your possession by not taking ahold of it.
Are you insane?
Are there meds you’re supposed to be taking that you’ve stopped taking?
Piece? Oh, you mean his toy?
I’m not the degenerative, lying sack of shit with no ethics.
Your child has a toy gun tucked into his waistband.
A police car speeds up to him while the officer is announcing “DROP THE WEAPON!” over the bullhorn. You, through the grace of Mighty Thor, have been imparted the ability to speak a single sentence into your child’s mind.
What is your advice to your child?
Can you explain how you would have handled it if you were the boy? You’re sitting in a park with a toy gun in your pants. A squad car comes up with lights ablaze and a cop gets out and demands that you drop your gun. What exactly do you do that doesn’t result in getting killed?
Well, he does seem to live in some Bizzaro World.
You said they told him to drop his weapon – and you said he should have obeyed the cops. Obeying the cops requires him to grab the toy gun.
"get ready to die, kid-If you follow that officer’s advice he will shoot you. In fact, any panicky move you, a 12 year old child, is likely to make in such a situation is going to cause this inept officer to kill you. Pray that there is a god, and that there is an afterlife. This life is over for you.
Hit the ground, hands behind your head.
And I thought I was ill-suited to be a parent.
“Do whatever you can to look white, son!”
That’s not what they told him to do. He was told to drop the gun. So after weeks of thought that’s the best you can do, but you blame the kid for getting shot because he couldn’t figure it out in under 2 seconds?
There’s no point in being civil to monsters.
The police claim he tried to attack them with a knife but bullet holes and blood were confined entirely to a mattress. At this point, it’s depressingly plausible that the police made up whatever shit was necessary to get themselves off. We’ll never have camera footage of the incident so we’ll never know what really happened but it seems like if you send police into a situation like that with assault rifles, then they’re going to be primed to use them.
Look: Something we can all agree on!
You didn’t ask me what I would do if I was the child’s parent. Besides, What makes you think a sudden movement in the 2 seconds that was given wouldn’t have been taken as a hostile movement by Officer Itchy Triggerfinger?
So now you’re saying he shouldn’t have obeyed the cops, and obeying the cops lead to his death? Was it right for the cops to shoot the child for trying to obey their order?
“Accidental discharge of a weapon during a struggle” != “murderous cop”.
What would you do if you were the child’s parent?
