I just watched the video, nothing wrong with that kid should of moved slower. You don’t just whip around with a gun in your hand toward someone.

Cop made the wrong overall call, but the right judgement in the split second he had to decide. Hindsight will probably haunt that man knowing the kid never had a chance of killing him, but you can’t know that when someone turns that quickly with a gun in their hand towards you.

I would of shot Adam to, :censored2: that little :censored2: head and his empty gun. Out there doing hood rat :censored2:, glad he died before he had a chance to kill an innocent person.

I've always been fascinated by and generally in favor of this part of Hunter S. Thompson's platform when he ran for Sheriff:

"The Sheriff and his Deputies should never be armed in public. Every urban riot, shoot-out and blood-bath (involving guns) in recent memory has been set off by some trigger-happy cop in a fear frenzy . . . Under normal circumstances a pistol-grip Mace-bomb, such as the MK-V made by Gen. Ordnance, is more than enough to quickly wilt any violence-problem that is likely to emerge . . . And
anything the MK-V can't handle would require reinforcements anyway . . . in which case the response would be geared at all times to Massive Retaliation: a brutal attack with guns, bombs, pepper-foggers, wolverines and all other weapons deemed necessary to restore the civic peace. The whole notion of disarming the police is to *lower* the level of violence--while guaranteeing, at the same time, a terrible punishment to anyone stupid enough to attempt violence on an un-armed cop."

Also that 21 year old needs to be charged with Adam’s murder, give that piece of :censored2: the death penalty for having a child out a 3 am busting caps with the homies instead of in bed resting for school.
