News reports are saying he was given the gun by older kid he was with.

You could ask the question why the kid was out at that time with someone else who had a gun. But it doesn't really matter. Seems like another officer error.

Surely he needs to see the gun in the air before he shoots? I guess it's split-second thinking... and when faced with the prospect of being shot, you can't place too much blame on him?

Yeah. I think he fired because he thought he saw the gun in his hand, when it wasn't at that point. The flashlight he had on him probably didn't help his vision.

FOX News have been killing him a "13 year old man"

Remember the white supremist "alleged" murderer after being out looking for violence with an AR rifle was "a boy"

Freudian slip?

Eight people have been killed and many injured in a shooting in the US city of Indianapolis, police say.

Witnesses heard several gunshots at a FedEx facility and one said he had seen a man firing an automatic weapon.

The gunman, thought to have been acting alone, is reported to have killed himself. Authorities said there was no further threat to public safety.

It's just endless :dread:

Graphic warning.

Here’s another. This shot is good IMO.

They must be Darwinists or Malthusians.

No guns discharged in this one.

Night and day in how the cops dealt with this versus Chauvin and co.

It's a minor gripe in the long line of things, but why do cops have to use such disgusting language in the US. I know there are instances of our cops doing the same, but generally they have to act more like public servants. For example, here a cop should be calling a suspect "sir" where as in America it seems you have to call them sir or get some serious attitude or an ass kicking.

Some of the problems seem to boil down to this lack of any basic respect in my opinion. Again it probably goes back to the proliferation of guns, assuming everyone is armed etc.

Think he needs to take a break. One that he never comes back from ideally, but yeah he looks like he's heading for a breakdown.

Tucker always looks like he enjoys twinkies to be fair.

Side note, I once went to The Castro to visit Harvey Milk's old office. It was a bit sad as there wasn't really anything there to mark or acknowledge his work, but I do believe his office was some kind of human rights organisation now, which was nice to see. I guess it's better his office is still a living breathing human rights endeavor than some kind of museum.
