The video shows Officer Ryan Westlake speaking to Tavion Koonce-Williams through his car window and seconds later firing his weapon toward the teen, whose arms were raised.
It’s kinda crazy to think about, as a kid twenty some years ago I used to run around with friends up and down the street with you guns in our hands and we never got the cops called on us. We were white, of course.
But apparently you want to give the cop the death penalty for shooting someone in the hand, which I think most people wouldn’t support.
I’d love for you to point to where I (as a person very open about my opposition to the death penalty) said this. I’d like to edit my post so that other people don’t have the same misunderstanding.
You mean the child had a toy gun? What was he even doing outside acting like a kid, anyway?
Open and shut case, shoot the mofo.

Same.
I had a toy uzi that looked just like the real thing.
I wouldn’t buy my kids a similar toy these days for a number of reasons, but I don’t think I deserved to be shot on sight.
