Just heard about that, sad, pellet gun had no markings to show it was a pellet gun usually they are brightly coloured at the tips.

How stupid are people? Why would the kid not just put his hands up like the officer said rather than reaching for the gun? Yeah, it's sad someone's kid died but for fucks sake.

The kid was 12 for fucks sake. Even if he'd had a real gun police should be able to disarm a little boy without shooting him dead. That is just plain fucking incompetence.
Cops are supposed to protect people. Instead we keep seeing cases of police terrorizing communities all over America, disproportionately affecting minorities and the poor, and most of the time they get away with it.

I agree with you. The kid was still stupid, though.

So if one of us reached for an officers weapon through their window of their cruiser, what do you think would happen?

: to take money or property from (a person or a place) illegally and sometimes by using force, violence, or threats of force/violence.

If you see the video, there isn't threats or violence. Dude rushes out. I don't consider that violent. Assholieness? Absolutely. Name someone on here that isn't one though.
Billy, you should have pretty good chances of disarming him apparently. Maybe 50:50 disarm or shot.
