I wish for a world where the cops are the good guys.
You can’t have it both ways. Too bad.

Chasing a suspect -with a gun- down an alley in the dark?? I'm behind the cops...all the way.

The only one with a gun was the cop.
WRONG. Go re-watch the video. Look at this time stamp.

This is the first common sense thing I've heard Mayor LIghtfoot ever say...
Lightfoot said earlier this month she instructed Chicago Police Department officials "to use every resource to track down the origins of this gun – through tracing, fingerprinting and DNA and any other means – and to find the person responsible for giving it to Adam."


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

He may not have had the gun in his hand the moment he was shot, but he certainly did mere seconds before. If you answered a call about shots being fired, pursued someone in a foot chase that had a gun in his hand during that chase, in the dark, and that person suddenly stopped, turned toward you and began raising his hands, what decision might you make in the split second you have?

Much has been said about the victim being 13-years-old. Could you have ascertained that during this incident? And if so, has a 13-year-old never, ever shot and killed someone before?

Here's another point that doesn't get mentioned in the coverage. Toledo’s right hand tested positive for gunshot residue, How could that be if he didn't have a gun?

0.8 seconds - 8 tenths of a second from the time the gun was dropped until the time he was shot by the officer.

So while he technically didn't have a gun at the precise moment he was shot, he had one literally less than one second before.

It's really sickening to see the justification of cops here at any cost.

"Well, he had a gun in his hand at one point. Not the point that the cop killed him, but I'm sure he had a gun before. Look, here's a photo of him holding a gun a few years ago! SEE?! HE HAD A GUN!!!!"
What’s even sicker? You playing both sides of the street depending on who you’re trolling.

Wrong.

When have I ever said the mentally ill should be celebrated rather than helped?
You’ve been concurrently saying cops suck and that they should be celebrated. These things are in conflict. Let the word counting commence.

Adam Toledo would be alive today if he wasn't engaged in criminal activity at 2:30 in the morning.

Yep, and no idea how many future victims of his just got spared.

Can anyone point to a single instance of a truly "model citizen" just minding his/her own business being killed by a cop anytime in the past 50 years?

I'll settle for just one.

I think that mom in MN a couple years ago might qualify, but I generally agree with your point. Virtually every single one of these incidents have a history leading up to the encounter. The truly tragic ones are like the mom in MN, were the cops are so on-edge because of all the risks that every once in a great while they might react tragically.

What criminal activity?
Out after curfew,
possession of a firearm
possibly discharging that firearm since that part is unclear.
But his companion was shooting at a car since its on video.
