I posted on the reply area and seem to have hit a nerve suggesting that the Kid was killed because of his parents.

    I remember this incident. If you watch the video you can clearly see the boy reaching into his waistband as if to draw a gun right as the cops rolled up on him. Justified shoot IMO. The police were called there because he was pointing a gun at people in the park.

    That was bad for both the officer and the kid. I remember watching the video and thinking the cop had no choice but to defend himself. Just very sad that it was a 12 year old kid. He was so young and had his whole life ahead of him and now the officers life is ruined also. All for one bad decision by this child. Remember, we are talking about a 12 year old, not an adult. Hope the officer gets the counseling he needs and has somewhat of a normal life. He will carry that guilt, even though it was not his fault, for the rest of his life. Oakie
