Those officers also need to be sanctioned from practicing law even from behind bars.

Those officers need fired & charged with attempted murder no qualified immunity & if the boy dies boom capital murder. No if's, and's or but's. Oh and that Police department should pay up more than half their earnings to this Family.

Fucking insane

Police aren’t trained to address the needs of persons with mental needs. Very sad

Note... This is also a BLM issue. Police need more training and control. This would help everyone.

There really should be an alternative, seemingly calling the police is not an option anymore,one will call the police unless he or she wants somebody dead, it's a scary, painful reality 😭💔

It seems to me that white police officers are the real ones that are mentally ill, need anger management and abuse of power therapy

💙💔

“trigger happy”

This is why we need to defund a portion of the police budget and allocate it to more appropriate areas. Somehow thinking if we just continue to throw all of the budget at a military department it will solve all of our problems is wrong.

Too many guns and every gun seems to find a over macho cop It’s time to hold these murderers accountable for their murders TheNRAIsATerroristOrganization

Smh 😥

At this point it has become the perfect crime, if you wanna get rid of someone. Call the cops for a wellness check, flip a coin. Why bother hiring hitmen?

Sooooo tired of the same BS stories. When will the parasitic media actually report GOOD things done by police? For every 'story' like this there are hundreds of good deeds performed by cops that go above and beyond what is expected of them. Good honest cops are quitting. Sigh....

Why are cops this freaking amped up to shoot a 13 year old? Outrageous! 😡

It’s hard enough to have a special needs kid & now she has to take care of him 4ever. If there’s a bomb U call SWAT. If there’s a hostage U call a negotiator. WHY do we send cops to deal w/ mental issues. Retrain then or send someone w/ them who CAN deal w/ the mentally triggered

Remember that autistic teen in North Carolina who they shot dead? Anyone who thinks we don't have a problem with the police has their head so far up their ass that they can see brain cells.

Does anyone know why he was shot? None of these articles talks about what actually happened.

Demilitarize the police and reallocate those dollars to training and hiring mental health professionals.

Fix the family

looked like a poor neighborhood to me and from there militarism is to be expected, sends signal to disadvantaged property you do not have is to be regarded as sacred...

Damn!! Shame

What the unbelievable Fk! Someone's going to jail and somebody's gonna be sued up the ying yang. My prayers are with this family 🙏

He's white, so, this story will dissapear in 15 seconds.

AllLivesMatter

That’s what our tax dollars pay for now for them to shoot us instead of serve n protect

No! How can we not demand retraining, and change with in our police forces?! Training that changes and adapts and happens regularly to support a better outcome. As a teacher I do a certain amount of training every year in order to keep my job. Why is this not common practice?

Man...you guys are SERIOUSLY pushing the narrative these days. I can't wait till all this is revealed.

That’s America’s version of policing

Some bystander is going to shoot after one of these incidents to defend the citizens and the safety of the community. And as expected the police will unload 5000 rounds in response. Will be an ugly scene but it’s bound to happen.

JFC!
