juicyCalifornia officer shoots and kills boy, 15, holding gardening tool
I saw the body cam, that kid was charging at the cop, he wasn’t just sitting in his front lawn taking care of some flowers. The only real question I have is what was that cop doing there in the first place?
The San Bernardino county sheriff’s department was responding to a 911 call on Saturday from a family reporting that a boy, identified as Ryan Gainer, was attacking his family at their home in Apple Valley, east of Los Angeles.
you don’t call the cops on your own family lightly unless you really are an asshole…
If I’m at a point where my life is being threatened and I can’t de-escalate, you best believe I’m calling 911. Cops are called all the time and help in situations like this; this cop was just incompetent

Why there? Googled it, this is from a different article:
“The officer-involved shooting was reported before 5 p.m. Saturday, after the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department received a 911 call about a domestic disturbance in Apple Valley, authorities said.
The caller reported that 15-year-old Ryan Gainer was attacking his sister and smashing up glass and doors at the family home.”
He was having a mental health crisis. But instead of being helped, he was executed by a full grown man afraid of a boy with a stick
A stick with a heavy pointy piece of metal attached to it. Anything can be a weapon and some are more effective than others.
Anything can be a weapon
Well, that explains the trend of cops shooting people with random objects in their hands. And acorns.
Acorns are fucking dangerous, next thing you know you’re just walking down the street and a gang squirrels comes out and gives the run down for all your seeds and shit.
