F**K DA POLICE DATS ALL U CAN DO IS SHOOT PEOPLE TAKE OFF THAT GUN AN BADGE AN GO TO WAR NAZI'S

[anti-gangs]

whooooo, the police were stopping that kid from killing someone else...all there ever is is gun shots in that area

[Micbuggs]

who care if there are gun shots in the neighborhood all the time? Did the police have a right to shoot a 15yr old boy? Was their life in danger? Were they close enough to use Tasers? There should have been back up called in this case why did the boy have to get shot and killed?

[truthist]

If this happened in another country, we would be calling it 'human rights violations, ...etc.' Really.

[Micbuggs]

Hell yea..I don't care what the circumstances are on this one the kid was a kid and the police should have used other measures vs shooting to kill....

You are an idiot.....he shot someone and had a gun, too bad, bad decision. You can't call timeout or glue.....police are paid to chase bad guys with guns, not wait for back-up that may never come. Stick to watching The Shield in Janesvill please.

What other measures Micidiot, Lethal force is to be used in dangerous situations, age doesn;t mean jack. A bullet from a fifteen year -old is as dangerous as one from a thirty year old.

I really dont think thats caused for, regardless in the teen had a gun or not. the police had a gun also, there was a big possibility that the boy may have shot them and then again it's not. I really like positively think that these police officers really dont have nothing else to do with there lives while on duty but to pick on young black kids.this isnt the first time a polce officer has shot one of our young black maybe innocent people....

[LP Trixie]

The cops were doing their job. They told the little gangbanger to drop his gun several times and then he pointed the gun at the cops. So the cops shot the little gangbanger like they were trained to. Why are people shocked? This happens weekly in the southside.

what ever happened to riding bikes, playing football, you want to play with a gun you can get killed by a gun. God help America and the World

I can understand your frustration with a society that produces the mind-boggling stupidity demonstrated here by this fine example of morality, a pillar of the community, a credit to his family tree, and to his community. I'm sure he misspelled those words to put you at ease so you wouldn't feel so bad that he is soooo smart. I wonder if he sees himself 15 years from now with those same clothes and talking the same way, and doing all of the same boring crap.

Going to work every day, like you, and not concerning myself with killers, pushers, gangbangers, etc. I contribute to society by not tearing it down. Think, before you tap..tap..tap. I think you try to defend the indefensible to be a good guy or something. Put that positive attribute to better use my good hearted, but misguided friend.
