Cops Kill Teen Gunman In Brooklyn After He Allegedly Pulls Pistol From Waistband

Good. Served the little d——d right. Now, if cops would do that to every POS murderer, and robber out there, the world would DEFINITELY NOT be such a bad place to live in.

I bet the parent is going to say he was a little angel.

What a pathetic world we lie in. So many young lives wasted and they want more guns on the streets. Buy, buy, buy, sell, sell, sell. Just so the rich get richer and more guns end up on the streets in """poor""" neighborhoods for the young to kill each other with.

Kid with gun, why? why did he have the gun?

is that trayvon martins brother?

Uh huh, who do you believe?

Yeaaaa! Don't run and pulla gun…Moral Obey authority!

Good Americans want to protect their familys from vermin…you are not required to protect yours though if that makes you fell better.

Someone did not tell him not to point a gun at a officer…the police work for us…they are not required to be target practice for killers …thank God no police were shot or killed.

One less welfare check we have to pay out.

STAND YOUR GROUND WHY WE NEED GUNS ,, FOR ASS LITTLE KIDS WALKING AROUND WITH A GUN THINKING THEIR BAD ASS ,, GANGSTERS.

Good Rid the world of a future criminal! Probably saved someones life, plus I don't like paying for these criminal to get three meals a day in prison.

The liberal news strikes again. What makes this kid a "gunman"? Did he pull the trigger? Did he go on a rampage? The word gunman is designed to sway public opinion and grab headlines. He was just another dumba$$ goon with an illegal gun in his waistband. I can almost guarantee this was an assassination by King Bloomberg's hit squad. Don't get me wrong, one less hoodrat with an illegal gun the better, but knowing Bloomberg, he has probably put a hit out on anyone with a gun. I wonder how many innocent civilians the "keystone cops" hit this time. Pathetic on both sides.

Have fun being dead.

Sixteen and with charges of inciting a riot and grand larceny And carrying a loaded.357 Mag. This young man was dead a long time ago.

Let me guess. How many think the mother is on welfare no father no school etc etc etc. Wonder how many babies will be born to the welfare system and die before we require women on public aid to be on contraception. And require all adults on it to either go to school or work and we give them jobs. No more money without any responsibility.

Agreed,

Yep just another innocent teen that has had repeated contact with the law. Maybe if he would have had parents that care, he would be alive today. Maybe we should expect the parents to be more responsible for their children?

if a gun was found case closed , i wonder if he bought that gun.. on wait no he cant he is under age and a criminal .. so he broke the law by having a gun , broke the law by conceling a weapon , broke the law by pointing it at police .. i think we need more laws

wow! How are those GUN CONTROL laws working out for you BLOOMBERG? I see all of the criminals lining up to turn in their illegal weapons….. RIGHT! And this is the model for the country! Now you know WHY CITIZENS need to be armed, because of little THUGS like this! Makes you wonder HOW MANY TIMES HE PULLED THAT GUN ON UNSUSPECTING CITIZENS!

Doesn't newyork have some of the strictest gun laws? Wow you libatards are right gunlaws really work!

Bang, bang, I shot you down,,, bang, bang! America,,,, Enjoy your gun totin' heritage, Fools live by the gun. Die by the Gun! Another Gun totin' Gangsta wannabe, thug! down, how many more, America? Are you proud tonight,,, You should be! You got the right to OWN and Carry a GUN. You also have the right to draw down on anyone you choose! But might I suggest, someone defenseless, such as women and children… Instead of the Cops… who are trigger happy, and willing to oblige you in Your Death Wish!

Was he just pulling a gun just for fun? Bet he has used it before.

where is the picture of this thug when he was 12? comeon you can't put a picture of an african gunman at the real age.

I thought NY was safe.They have so mmmmmmmmmmaaaaaany gun laws how could this happen?

I expect an IBEW member to be racist. Brunch of undercover KKK

In can just here it now– "He was just turning his life around".
All the Libs & Black leaders will blame the gun & police. Not the kid or how he was raised.

of course they saw someing differnt.

Can't wait for his Easter picture from 10 years ago to be plastered everywhere to show his innocence…

1st strike handgun NYC 2nd strike minor in possion 3rd strike pointing at cop urrrrrr out!

I guess everyone feels about the same then…

Yes, no black person ever does anything wrong. It is always the cops!

BS

Is that his photo when he was 12? Might need to converse with the FLA district attorney about it.

Here we go – its going to be white cops murder black punk waving a gun…………

Really easy to tell if he was running away when they shot him–what side of his body (front/back) were the entry/exit wounds found on?

Regardless, pretty stupid to pull a gun on a couple of cops. Stupid punk kid.

where in the world did you people learn to speak? Scott- I bet the parents "is" going to say….
In the story witness Camile Johnson – "These cops is ridiculous" and you wonder why people don't listen to your story.
when I was growing up my parents thought me never run from the police only guilty people run and in this day and age with everyone having a cell phone with a camera on it why run, just start recording.

Amen! Preach on, Brotha!!!! I agree a billion percent!

He looked like obama's son,,,,

How all them Gun Laws working for you in NYC?

You will see Al Sharpton with the mother of this kid calling for a protest of the NYPD tomorrow..

And I see everyone assumes the officers are right. Interesting that this kid had so many gunshot wounds. Police Officers are NOT trained to shoot until dead. And sorry, but grand larceny can mean ANYTHING. Inciting a riot…could also mean anything. Big words which can mean absolutely nothing. Interesting too that everyone on this thread blames welfare for this..bunch of stupid, racist assholes. I know for a FACT that police officers are nothing but trouble with power. And, before you have anything to say, I work hard for my money, live in a nice neighborhood and do NOT collect any assistance from the state. I also come from a long line of people in power, including judges, police officers, attorney's and Warden/Guards who work in a prison. And I also know personally of 5 cases where registered gun owners severely wounded or killed someone with their gun and got away with it. Sorry, read the story people, and you would see that there actually are TWO sides to what happened. You all are just puppets and believe automatically what you are told by the media. Can't think for yourself, which is the problem in this world. Case of "Armed Robbery": two groups of boys, fighting in a park. Both sides from a nice neighborhood, no gang members what so ever. Witness calls the police and find all the boys. Both sides say the fight was mutual. The cops ONLY detain one side, the side who won. They find a POCKET knife in one boys pants, which was NEVER pulled out. They also find out during questioning that during the fight, a necklace was lost by one of the boys in the losing party. The end result? The boys who won were given two years in jail and a strike for "Armed Robbery" "Robbery = Lost Necklace", "Armed = Pocket Knife".

Maurice Smith I would expect you would automatically believe what you read in the media…You are a fox news victim…..

So much for NYC gun control.

they will have saved the taxpayers of nyc well over million $ by the time he would have been 45 yrs old.

I hope you all remember the to kids in Connecticut ….. Remember, 9/11…..lighten does indeed strike twice….then the world be laughing ….Again. I hope these cops, their families, those making negative comments remember that !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, badge and gun will not protect those who innocent slay others for God's law. The book is almost closed.

Just other hood rat with a gun good job maybe if they keep killing these Gangsters we see some changes in the crime rate!

lmao@Easter picture…omg…that is HILARIOUS

trayvon martins cousin no doubt.

Well…let's just wait for the singing, marching, dancing, entertaining, rioting to start….It's coming soon to a city near you…..

f $$$ you bloomberg if that punk drew that on me in arizona I would have wasted him but if I were in your pos city I would be dead.

Oh, he's sooooo cute! Are we supposed to feel sorry for him now? Just watch, the blacks will turn him into a martyr. Remember: It's always the white people's fault!

Why am I not surprised……….I hope you all remember the to kids in Connecticut ….. Remember, 9/11…..lightening does indeed strike twice….then the world be laughing ….Again. I hope these cops, their families, those making negative comments remember that !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Furthermore, you all know those cops lie, plant evidence,, bully innocent people to confess to crime they never commit and probably, cops are involve in more crimes than anyone could ever imagine. Anyway, a badge and gun will not protect those who innocent slay others from God's law. The book is almost closed so enjoy it blue boys and girls…..enjoy.

Oh, just look at the little munchkin, a parents dream come true! He was a good boy, just ask everyone in the neighborhood, they'll tell you. He was just running to the police station to return the.357-revolver he was packing.. I mean, he found! Yep, he up and found that.357-revolver in a garbage can and he was doing the right thing by retuning it to the police when they up and shot him!

Halleluiah!

aka_keli

oh yeah the kid was innocent alright, he was just carrying a loaded .357-revolver because… he found it in the garbage and was going to return it to the police!

Obama and all idiotic black leaders as usual will jump in on defending the kids just like what happened to Trevon's shooting in Florida.

Black Thug!

I would love to beat the shit out of you Scott.

Belinda, it's funny how you choose to point out only Fox News when accusing somebody of "automatically believing what they read in the media".

So people who "automatically believe" the remaining 99 percent of media outlets are not victims? Oh right, because all those other outlets happen to lean LEFT. I forgot that the left never EVER tries to brainwash anybody with their own spin. Especially not when it comes to gun control… my bad.

Because he is black, I see that the majority chose to ignore some of the eyewitness reports that it did not happen the way the cops described it…

Like Trayvon , He was and innocent little kid, The hand gun was used for target practice at the local YMCA.

good 4 them take them all down just a hood rat shoot first ask? later

good 4 them take them all down just a hood rat shoot first ask? later

i'm ready for the marching, singing, dancing, protesting, rioting to start….already bought the popcorn so i can pop it and watch….given that the trayvon "stuff" is still lingering in the air…i'm expecting lots of rump shaking marches/protests, plenty long winded gospel notes to be sang and much rioting and looting in the hood…..

Wow you people will believe a cops word everytime. So much hatred here is scary.

Stupid kid with a gun. Everything this kid did was illegal with having the pistol and what he has beenb involved in it was just a matter of time until he was dead. It is one way to fix stupid. Nobody to feel sorry for but we will still have whining from the socialist liberal section and they blame everyone but the kid and his family. It is time long past to coddle this criminals no matter the age. I am glad to see New York's gun contr4ol working as planned.

Anyone care to tell me why the police officers were taken to the hospital for trauma? What happened to them? Why were the police questioning the teens? As usual, piss poor reporting!

How would a ban on so called "assault weapons" have prevented this?

One less thug – good riddance…

Suck my dick…all yall some fucking assholes somebody dead lost their child but for each of yall who said sonething bad, remember the world is round things tend to come back around ten fold

Good riddance

Unfortunately the Vatican is who we are up against when it comes to mandatory contraception.
It's difficult enough to get voluntary contraception… I love the idea though!
Every day I see countless examples of why abortion should be simpler, maybe even mandatory. I'm sure this will recieve numerous thumbs downs.

New York gun laws only applicable to good citizens who own guns but not for the criminals and or kids toting gun. The politicians make a gun laws for idiots.

Lying niggahs. He was a gangsta hoodlum with a pistol and needed killing as he was threatening the officers' lives.

You guys are idiots, why would he run, and then pull a gun on cops, come on now, these cops are scared and they shooting first asking questions later, I guess for them its better to make a mistake and a teen die then to hesitate and they die, real talk.

Hush up naer. Dat poe chile ain dun nuthinn rong and dee poe leece dun kilt I'm – yal is raciss.

Hey, he didn't shoot up a Classroom full of Kids, if ya'll want to go the race route and talk ignorant.

Amen ! Too many "entitled" bums are freeloading off of us taxpayers with no intention of ever going to work. Most of them are ghetto niggahs.

I wouldn't waste your time. Most people here won't understand a word you just said.

yeah because only little white kids have the ability to turn their life around. You don't what have become of this kid. But of course, born black, you must be a criminal. Hide your face Larry, because this kid was not brought on charges of murder. Larceny, yes. Murder- nope.

And Steve, Conservative ignorance is bliss! The government and the media loves to get you ALL hyped up with BS, cause they know they will then be out of the lime light with their many crimes against our society (we take take take from you all, but we will blame it all on the poor minorities. "and by the way, bet you probably didn't know that we put those illegal guns out there for them")…tsk tsk…shame on you! Little do you all know, you are the ones they control…see us SOCIAL LIBERALS are able to think on our own…noone has to tell us if something makes sense or not…we can figure it out….this story stinks to high heaven….

They didn't shoot until dead. He was shot in the leg and stomach, and died in the HOSPITAL. Grand larceny can't mean "anything," it specifically means he committed felony theft. He was 16 with felony charges. Sounds troubled to me.

How can you know for a "FACT that police officers are nothing but trouble with power" when that is a broad generalization including every person who is a police officer…… that is incredibly faulty logic with no basis.

Here is my point. Some people automatically rush to believe the side of law enforcement. You call them "puppets." You automatically rushed to believe the side of witnesses. You had no more facts than anyone else. You are merely a puppet of a different master, my friend.

I think this is the most ignorant post I've ever read in my life. You obviously have no respect for the Constitution. Why would you force someone into using contraception because in your mind, you believe that people are having babies for welfare checks. If the father isn't present, his choice, his failure and now the son is a result of it. Maybe he did get into trouble, but why must we write black kids off so immediately when they get into crime-but seek to find understanding when white kids murder 20 children with mental disorders . No one ever begins to make personal attacks on the family. The country starts talking about gun control, the 2nd Amendment and mental disorders-but a black kid-oh well he must be a product of a broken home, But back to your obvious disrespect of the Constitution. The cost of a child outweighs what one would EVER receive in welfare. The costs not only financially factor in, but emotionally. But I understand that you're ignorant. And guess who doesn't want to expand access to contraception..freaking Republicans, the same people who complain about welfare. I think the strangest thing is that the people who have committed the most brutal crimes on American soil did file welfare. They were young , privileged , ENTITLED , white boys who've been raised to hide their emotions because that's what a man is supposed to do

umm the people who participate in Occupy WallStreet have incited a riot. He was underage and carrying a fire arm, perhaps and most likely illegally. But without the facts, it's unfair to not respect his right to the 2nd Amendment just like its the right of other Americans

yup because that's the only thing wrong with America. Kids with guns..acting like gangsters , not all the freaking white male serial killers.

How old was this boy? 15? What the hell was he doing with a gun? Any loss of life is tragic, but to pull out a weapon that is obviously illegal to posess at that age and to then point it at police is bound to result in a tragic ending. I lived in Tampa about a year ago, and there was a case in St. Pete where a 15 year old boy walked up behaind a police officer and blew his brains out. When the boy was interviewed, he said that he did it to get some street cred. Just what was the cop in this case supposed to do. Get murdered?

You guys are so quick to believe what you read, and I can't help but think that the comments are Due to this being a young black teen, I tell you what I will take my chances in the hood or around a kid like this any day, you know what scares me, being in a movie theatre or my kids sitting in a classroom and someone walking in and shooting up a bunch of innocent people, now to me that's scary!

And they (the "entitled") keep having as many babies as they can so they can get more aid money.

He must have forgotten his white face /watch? v=ZJ84HFlFsgc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ84HFlFsgc

Okay, for those crying that we are just a bunch of sheep believing the white cops…

The reason is that when you are reading the story, there are things that don't add up.
The "witnesses" want us to believe the following happened:

Kids in group get questioned by cops. This ONE kid somehow randomly decided he needed to run screaming for his life and start telling the cops to stop and THEN the cops started shooting him? Okay, what? So the kid parted from the group and ran for no reason and started begging for his life BEFORE the cops pulled a weapon on him. What made him think the cops were going to shoot him and that he needed to beg for his life? Uh, makes no sense. No one else in the group felt the need to run from the group, no one else ended up dead, and the kid had no reason to run away and beg for his life BEFORE his life was in danger. It doesn't add up that way. Sounds more like a bunch of people crying that the cops are trying to do in innocent black people just trying to get by. Yeah, okay.

If Obama had another son it would look like this thug.

ur gross for using that language

This is in New York, I live more than 1000 miles away. I've not broken any law, so because this teen waved a.357 magnum at cops, it only makes sense to take away my firearms and limit my bullet capacity.

WHA DAFUQ?

oh Scott, you've got a wonderful sense of humor, or is your name Adam Lanza, James Holmes, Charles Witman, George Hennard , James Huberty, the list can go on and on. Serial killers always happen to look just like you, white angry privileged little men. Oh , you're becoming irrelevant to society. White women are becoming empowered with the feminist movement and you serve no further purpose. Women are permitted to fight in combat, can raise a child without a husband, are entitled to equal pay for equal work and too many men have troubles with assuming their role in society is based solely on being financial providers. So yes, you're a bigot, though you may deny it, but you're in irrelevant bigot

99.99% of gun owning Americans are very responsible, caring people, who, in a moment would protet even their neighbor from violence if they were aware of it.

The highest percentage of gun crime is from high populated areas. Areas where welfare is the most commen. In the country, farm land, you have responsible folks that teach their kids the "Value of Life" therefore you have much less violence. That's all

you've got to be kidding me right. You just talked about a thug carrying a gun and now you're saying all people should be armed. YES, let's arm everyone in society because instead of finding ways to prevent crime, we will just enable more people to commit it. And New York's gun laws don't do anything to decrease gun violence or increase it-because these criminals purchase guns illegally from other states and I guess if there were more lenient gun laws in New York, they'd just purchase them in New York, umm yeah, but they'd still commit the crime. You have no understanding of the lack of correlation between gun violence and gun laws. I can respect the idea that citizens should be armed to protect themselves against a tyrannical government, intruders and for recreational use, but arming, everyone, um, no. Plus the gun laws in New York aren't for black kids, they are to prevent white male serial murders for purchasing semi-automatics and walking into schools and shooting little kids.

Yea, but whose to say that this underaged kid would be in prison for his entire life, like he couldn't turn his life around.

Belinda D McKenzie-I believed you're a liberal that's why you love criminals.

Take rights away from responsible people for the sake of irresponsible people? If that's not the antithesis of freedom, I don't know what is.

Maurice Smith And bad Americans don't want to protect themselves from criminals. I want to protect my family too, but with each time there is a gun in your home, the more likely, your family is to fall to violence by their own gun. Depending on your neighborhood, you could be at high risk of break ins, but having a gun won't necessarily save your life. If the intruder is also armed, whose going to pull the trigger first..Besides that, every time there's a gun in your home, every single day, every hour, every second, there's a possibility that you may die by that gun, because you have access to it. It could be by accident or out of frustration. A gun can be used to protect oneself, but it doesn't equal protection.

Police officers should be required to wear a camera on them, in order to prove all these charges they bring forth against people who may or may not be innocent.

Yeah and the laws have nothing to do with the fact that this child obtained a gun, illegally probably from a different state. Probably Florida. Yup, it's the gun laws that killed this kid. Nope. It was the choice he made. But I hope that the kid actually attempted to shoot the police officers and they didn't just shoot down a running kid as if they didn't have his friends in custody. So enjoy your guns. They can protect you from outsiders, but they can't protect you from yourself

For 1. This happened at night. For 2. These cops were under cover. Who's to say the cops ever identified them sleves as police and the kid took off running thinking it was someone trying to attack him. I'm not saying its right that the kid had a gun (If He Even Really Had A Gun) but you can believe everything you read or hear coming from just one side. Get both sides of the story before you jump to a conclusion.Those charges the kid had are minor and can be slapped on anyone leaving a club drunk in the right situation. Reading these comments I see you people believe anything you read, its SAD. Most of you are a Bunch of PUPPETS that cant think for yourselves. The only thing most of you people can come up with are the stupid recycled racist comments you always use like, welfare, no father, no school, lazy, mom with multiple kids. Same old bs. Just know the same welfare you so called love to talk about a certain race being on is the same one you'll be BEGGING for if a major catastrophe or economic collapse were to happen. Use your own brain and not some else's LAZY BUMS.

No a Special child..

Kaylee Hutchinson it said several gun shot woulds. Yes , the kid committed larceny, but I think it's unfair that we write off a kid that committed larceny and incited a riot, but a man who murdered 20 kids, his mother and six adults gets sympathy and the entire world wants to understand what mental order he could have had-because no one wants to accept that he is a cold-blooded murderer. I believe everyone and anyone can turn their life around, regardless if they are a product of a bad environment. But the comments on here aren't interested in discussing violence in broken communities, they would rather blame it on being associated with welfare, being poor, being ghetto and the only thing I'm saying is the most brutal murderers in the world-besides police officers don't come from broken homes. They come from affluent white neighborhoods with two parents and walk into schools, malls , worship temples and more and just murder people. That happens, we have to talk about mental disorders. Okay..well enjoy your heaven on earth now, because once the demographics in America change drastically, oh it's going to be a nasty payback.

Hey, maybe he had mental illness.

dont think so buddy cause most of the welfare mothers are white, dont act like u dont know that, its your race thats suckin up all the welfare money

dont think so buddy cause most of the welfare mothers are white, dont act like u dont know that, its your race thats suckin up all the welfare money

Always some chimp thinking hes a Gangsta.

Always some chimp thinking hes a Gangsta.

And white people will turn any crime committed by a white person into a fucking sympathy fest and a discussion of a mental illness in America. Yes, Danny, the Trayvon stuff is still lingering in the air because an unarmed child was shot dead by some Hispanic claiming to be the face of the new minority in America. Whatever. The Trayvon case is different than this. White people believe that blacks do not deserve the same justice and that is just absolutely disgusting. And when people say-blame white people. Please do. I advise you guy's to read up on white social anxiety. It's a life changer. You've got to be aware of the world changing around you and understand [your] role in society . The kid was armed and allegedly could have pointed his gun at a police officer-although I do not believe in a police state and freaking police officers taking the power away from the people, this is drastically different from Trayvon Martin . That kid was followed by some robo neighborhood watch dude who was instructed by the police not to pursue the kid and he did and then he attacked the kid and shot him.
p.s. I don't think black people are going to stop marching and shouting for justice until they get it. SO if you don't like it, YOU CAN GET THE FUCK OUT OF AMERICA.

it's called white anxiety. America is changing

u are a sorry piece o shit, just cause he got into a little bit of trouble dot mean he need to die at sixteen, hope u get hit by a fucking bus, prick

Gun laws? why, criminal do not care about them, gang banger do not respect laws, or anyone. all they care about is their status within theur little gangs, be a BAD ASS. But to their parents they are little angels, why? is it because of blind love or may be the parents like it when their kid make their own money through criminal activities so that the parent do not have to support them. Either way, it is a sad world we are living in, where the law abiding citizen get his rights threatened because of those who do not have any respect for law or anyone.

everybody seems to be tired of kissing the black ass…..well except for white women

yes he broke the law and he ran from the police and I guess he pointed the gun-but he obtained the gun illegally and he's underage…so there's no way if there weren't stricter laws he'd be able to purchase a gun

no what would make this world a better place to live is if we could kill all u racist white people

yes Danny and black people have the right to protest or is that a right reserved to white people. Pack your bags. You're obviously some type of communist. It's time for you to leave America.

Good. Another gun, and criminal off the street. Sad for the family.

YUP , just like Adam Lanza killing himself saved tax payers millions of dollars because we would have to sit through long trials discussing his mental disorders and not the fact that he's a cold heart bloody murderer just like most serial killers.

inciting a riot, yea right, police will say anything if u dont kiss there ass

it would not have , but it would have saved 26 people in Connecticut. Blacks don't use semi automatics like white males do to go shoot up innocent kids and people in public places.

no they to busy fucking kids

You look like a mixture between Adam Lanza's and James Holmes' brother.

yes its possible to turn your life around wench

that's probably due to your small white penis.

yeeah yea h yeah..thanks for your commentary.

u are the fucking lowlife bum, white trash, ask yo momma how many nigga she fucked

nope we still have the Adam Lanzas, Michael Page's , James Holmes', and other white murderers we have to protect ourselves from. A black kid with a gun has an intended target somewhere in the ghetto or from his troubled past, a white guy with a gun has an agenda to kill as many people as possible..Tell me Michael, how do we stop white male murders…Do we give them medication since they all have mental disorders

Are you related to Adam Lanza?

You got that right Reginald! All those MFs need to die off already!

did that make u feel better, u sorry ass white trash punk bitch

some white people sure make there race look bad

Reginald Glover So do some black people

It's funny how you say that, but i bet your ass didnt say a dam thing when that white boy shot up that movie theater or that white boy who killed all those little kids at that school! Your people are the ones who are doing all the killing around here!! Mass Killings!!

What is really pathetic is that most of you supposedly intelligent adults believe the crap the police is posting to make this murder of a child look justified. Inciting a riot? Really? That's some seriously felonious stuff right there? Bogus! He was running away and they shot him. Witnesses say the boy was asking them to STOP! OOOOHHH Big time scary criminal, cause STOP is a scary word….really? They murdered this child in cold blood and they are relying on the same type of people on this thread to look the other way while they tell you that this is the bad guy. We saved America from another threat….that is until YOUR child becomes a threat. And unless your skin color is BLUE, you too are a threat….

Reginald Glover …you're the racist! Larry didn't mention any thing about skin color.

Exactly! He has a long rap sheet, but only inciting a riot and grand larceny are at the top of it? No murder, drugs, terrorism? SMH at everyone who believes this nonsense…..AND I don't believe he even had a gun.

Reginald Glover .."again" nothing was said about color. You're the one starting the race war on this site. RACIST!!!

He was such a cute little boy, take away cops guns like in London. They should be trained to defuse the situation with out deadly force. Enough violence, this young life should have been spared. (spoof)

You really shouldn't put your mother's business online…it's tacky…

You to idiots dont know shit! these cops are killing kids just for the hell of it! There are so many dirty cops in the U.S. its a dam shame, but people like you idiots will believe anything they say!

no where in the article does it say that the cops have the gun that this child "allegedly" held in his waistband as evidence. The two officers were taken to the hospital for "trauma"? What kind of trauma? Gun shot wounds or mental trauma…..this story has a LOT of holes in it. I don't think this boy had a gun. I just think these cops are covering their asses with lies.

Sooooo what was racist about what Larry said? I'm Puerto Rican and I didn't read anything racist in what he just said. Stop turning this into a "race" thing again. This time the kid was in the wrong. It's a tragedy that he was shot, but it doesn't change the facts. He has a record…a long one at that, and he had a gun on him. Had this been a White kid or an Indian kid…or maybe even a Russian kid, I bet nobody would even blink at the thought of something racist about it…but because the kid was black, NOW it's a race thing??? Gimmie a break.

From a witness: NYPD has been abusing their power for far too long now. they tell us they're here to protect us, but from what? When you protect someone, there is an enemy to fight against. NYPD treats the black youth as if they are the enemy. if they see a group of black men standing, they'll approach them on grounds of "suspicious activity". apparently, being black after dark is suspicious now. last year, there were more "stop and frisks" of black males in NY than are black males in NY. how can you be protecting us and profiling us at the same time? this is not to say that kimani was not wrong, but 10 shots was far too many. while lying on the floor, kimani said "please don't let me die" and one cop replied "stay down, or we'll shoot again". disgusting. ruthless. if you ask me, the black community needs to protect themselves against the NYPD. it has never been more clear that, in their eyes, we are the enemy. they are not here for us. never were, never will be.

t doesn't matter the age of the human holding and pointing a gun.
ALWAYS assume it is loaded and fire at it first. The police were correct.

Yeah, um, Reginald. You are an idiot. Did Larry even ONCE say anything about race?

No?

Good. I thought so.

Willie Davis it goes both ways man, come to detroit we have a murder a day… at least and 98% of it is black crimes, then you have these crazy white kids killing other kids, it doesnt matter the race, stupid is stupid. There are good people and there are bad people, we need to get past all the black vs white bull, its old and pointless. People need better education, regardless of the color of their skin.

Funny how every time I drive past the welfare office I have never seen a single caucasian individual

Seriously, what the hell does this have to do with race? Did he even ONCE say anything about race?

Stop playing the goddamn race card. It does not work all the time. This is one of those times.

Jesse Kvale …you sound like Palin

fuckin redneck hillbilly fatboy, stick a pin in your toxic ass stomach, it's making your halfass brain boil over

chimp

The story does not make sense, "he adjusted his belt" ran away? but had a 357? Long rap sheet that included Inciting a riot? haha… the whole system is a wash in bullshit..and the media reports sensationalism for the purpose of ratings.. "the facts come later..Maybe".

Willie Davis: And you guys are smoking up all the PCP and eating all the homeless people!!

And don't forget about the little kids walking around stealing their parent's guns and shooting up private businesses like movie theaters, schools and classrooms full of kindergardeners…..do you call those gangsters too?

You sound like you aren't a very bright individual, alfa

Reginald Glover You are the racist asshole. Even my black friends would call you a retard

Reginald Glover Their. One less piece of shit.

Reginald Glover or we could kill all the pieces of shit before they victimize even more people, white black, brown, doesnt matter. Im sure your a failure and you blame whites because your a moron. keep it up.

The hood mentality?

Reading Black's?/African American?/Colored? people's comments supporting a piece of shit just because he is black….so sad.

Of course someone from Chicago would say that being the biggest thug capital of the country where victims are not allowed to defend themselves.

The little punk was a thug and got what he deserved. All want to be gangsters should be shot on the spot no questions asked.

Thank You, Dear Mr. Police Person. Thank you before he could kill any babies, mommies or Daddies, Teachers or school workers. God Bless You and Thank you for doing you Job in keeping the people in Brooklyn New York safe from that little gang banger. We all need to help keep our babies, grand parents, moms & dads and the little old lady and mad next door alive, and stick togather.

Reginald & Willie, I know quite a few black Americans who would disagree with you. They are educated tho, that may give them a better understanding of things than you two have. You two appear as stupid as a KKK'er in your blatant attack on "white people" you consider racist………;p

Now Reginald, that "top commenter" must mean you spew your hate all the time…..when mestezo's such as yourself learn some manners, maybe you'll 'EARN" some respect. You need to stay on sites like this one…the others give people a chance to give you a "thumbs down" & hide your stupid comments, lol…..;p

He's no grocery stocker that's for sure.

Yeah and you look like a pedophile that kills children then cooks them and eats them… now go fetch me some groceries stock boy lol!!!, since your I.Q. is so "high" working for Krogers lol!

Willie, you are soooooo stuuuuuupid !!!! That must be yo sister there you gonna pop, she yo ho ?

Wesley Williams, Yeah, and you look like a pedophile that kills children then cooks them and eats them… now go fetch me some groceries stock boy lol!!!, since your I.Q. is so "high" working for Krogers lol!

Shouldn't have been running in the first place.

@ Belinda Dreaney Mckenzie , well, if YOU missed it, a punk kid got killed for pulling a gun on a cop…last week a couple were killed trying to get away from a punk robber, a woman shot a home invader 5 times & he still lived til the cops finally showed up……..you get it yet ? It's on other channels too, how stupid can you get ?

So Kaylee, he was shot and died…which is what I said. And he was shot several (3)times and to me that is "so many times" AND too many times. In the stomach and leg. Does it matter WHERE he died? He died from the wounds of the officers. They are trained to shoot and bring down, not shoot and kill, unless they have exhausted ALL resources. And if you were to read the article, "he was suspiciously adjusting his waistband"? WOW, that's all it takes? Well, of course, because originally, they walked up to question the young men "standing around". They were undercover and "looking" for something. If he was running, his back would be to them, so the police officers were in no immediate danger. If he kept running and would not stop, they just needed to shoot him in the back of the leg to bring him down. But you see, he was running away, but yet he was aiming a gun at them BUT YET he was shot in the stomach? Some even said he had no gun. The officers just reported that he AIMED a gun at them, not that he fired at them? hmmmm….so, you see, I am just THINKING….there may be more to this story, I have to hear more to judge for myself…..

Grand larceny…."committed felony theft" you say, which could mean he stole ANYTHING (multiple Kmart DVD's for example)…sorry, that is the fact, but often, you see, big words are used to confuse the masses."Grand larceny generally is defined as the theft of property exceeding a certain value. Property can refer to many things including cash, jewelry, or electronics. If a person steals multiple items during an act of theft, the value usually will be assessed collectively instead of individually.

This means that although the items may be cheap, together they can constitute grand larceny. A good example of this is the theft of a compact disk (CD) case. If there are 25 CDs inside, the value of each and the value of the case they were in are added together, making it very possible to meet the threshold."

There were in fact THREE witnesses mentioned, if you read the article closely and carefully, and I am sure, many more than those three. Kaylee, I do not rush to any "side", I say, I know both sides of the fence, from my own personal workings with both sides of the law, and this story is FISHY!! PERIOD! And, the sad thing is….I don't know of one, count them, ONE police officer personally, who has not committed a crime or two, or MORE, in their time on this earth, down to, yes, dare I say it, having illegal guns! They were just never caught and now have a badge, which does not make them any better or worse than the common criminal, yet they know that if they put out a story like this, with a picture of a young, black male, that what happened on this thread will happen. All the people on this thread have clearly sided with the police officers, and tried this kid and HUNG him..when, if you read the article, closely and carefully, says ABSOLUTELY nothing of substance and has no proof of anything…"innocent until proven guilty", you know, the very thing this country is supposed to be known for, the thing that makes us so much more civilized than the rest of the world….. Kaylee, I can honestly say that I do not believe that you have seen enough in your life, to understand the big bad world MY FRIEND…..and that big bad world, MY FRIEND, can often be seen in the likes of a police uniform……

yeah and black people will say anything to make themselves the Victims.

I agree. if you are on govt. assistance and you get pregnant guess what you lose your assistance. If you have time to screw you have time to find a job.

These tragic killings require video and audio so you and I, who hold all men are created equal, with certain unalienable Rights, among them the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, can not be, nor can ever be subject to the authority or anyone, or any group, without the full consent and oversight of the citizenry. Anything less undermines the Truths and Principles our forefathers fought and died for.

Reginals Glover I just want to say that I am not racist, but why do black people always call me racist. It is a simple face and proven, that their are more black people on welfare than any other race, it is also a fact that black teenagers have more children than any other group of teens. I am not blaming you being black for this I am blaming the parents for being shitty parents. Now this is what we need to do, stop catering to anybody, black, white , yellow, gree whatever on assistance. We need to stop letting teens get pregnant and keep on Govt. Assistance. I agree if you are on Govt. Assistance than you need to be on contraception. So Gerald am not racist if you work hard and pay your bills and pay for your responsibilities than you are okay in my book. If a white person I knew was using the system, I would say the same thing to them.

I agree with Gerald on this one, this guy does seem like a white trash hillbilly.

joshua, no one but the boy and the police who shot him, knows what happened. So save your ignorant, stereotyped based comments to yourself. I don't hardly see racist commenting on articles like the one about the idiotic old man whose dog shot him, or all the mass-shooters, but anytime an article involves crime and a black person the racist comments come out in the hundreds

he deserved to die…he wanted to.

I agree that the system needs to be completely overhauled, but if you take a pregnant woman off welfare, what happens to the child? When you come up with a real system, that ensures able-bodied people work for their financial support ( I don't care if they cut grass at the side of highways or clean graffiti) and that their children are given every opportunity that other children have to get an education, then we will see changes. Taking poor people off welfare will cause more crime and is cruel to children who had no say in who their parents were.

Wesley, it depends where you live… here some statistics so you don't base a country of 300 million on the 100 thousand people in you town.
Welfare Demographics
Percent of recipients who are white 38.8 %
Percent of recipients who are black 39.8 %
Percent of recipients who are Hispanic 15.7 %
Percent of recipients who are Asian 2.4 %
Percent of recipients who are Other 3.3 %

If you don't know the kid, you shouldn't prejudge him. The question is was there a gun recovered at the scene?

A perfect example of how gun control does not work.

This is in a place where guns are NOT ALLOWED.

Criminals will always get guns.

So if everyone in NYC was armed, there would be less crime? The whole point of gun laws is to prevent idiots like this one from getting their hands on them. It's easier to get a gun than an iPhone….

The seriousness surrounding the tragedy of anyone losing their life, must have confirming video and audio of the circumstances leading to it, so you and I, who hold the following truths to be self-evident, all men are created equal, with certain unalienable Rights, among them, Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness, must always be in the hands of the Citizenry, and never left to the any individual, or a group, without the full oversight of the Citizenry. Anything less and it becomes only a matter of time before manipulation and corruption replaces the will of the People.

Only in America…. Can't this cops fire a warning shot! Pls can we stop arguing and have respect for the dead…nobody is promised tomorrow.

Maurice Smith No one is trying to stop you from buying guns. If you illiterate idiots would simply understand what gun laws the government is trying to implement, you would realize it is about background checks, proper storage and laws for transporting loaded weapons.

"Police noted that he had a long rap sheet that included charges of grand larceny and inciting riot."
Need anyone say more?

Kaylee Hutchinson They fired 8 shots… No one knows what really happened, but we all know that police get trigger happy when black people are involved. i'm not saying the boy was innocent or that the police didn't have the right to protect themselves, but 8 shots seem a bit like overkill, pardon the pun. Also grand larceny can be stealing an iPod. inciting a riot could be idiot teenagers causing a ruckus. this does not equal him being a murderer.

if you understood anything in life, you would comprehend that cities with strict gun laws have guns flooding the streets from neighbouring states without them. If you look at any country with proper gun laws ( Canada – you can still own a gun, but it needs to be stored securely, you need mandatory range training, trigger locks when transporting, and background checks) murders are MUCH lower. and you can talk about stabbing all you want, no one ever died from a straying knife, but hundreds die from stray bullets and idiot kids playing with their parents guns.

Reginald Glover cash ur welfare check n get in line for the free food niggah

NO, those are nut jobs who should have been put in institutions LONG ago

Its unfortunate that people like you with such low IQ's have internet access.
this fool had a gun, trayvon had a snickers bar
this fool was shot by the police, trayvon was shot by a civilian that was ordered by 911 to stop following him
And I'm sorry that the slate hasn't yet been wiped clean from slavery, lynching, racist police in the 70's, segregation etc, I'm not saying everything is white people's fault , far from it. This has nothing to do with race.

how would tax cuts have prevented this…are we just asking irrelevant questions?

Willie Davis u cash in ur welfare check too like ur brah reginald

who said the cops were white?

the RAPSHEET stopped……………geez…wonder y? id commit suicide too if I was him.

A child is dead. Children naturally make foolish mistakes. It isn't to be concerned whether he was an angel or not. By the way you would say something like this tells me you definitely were NOT a little angel.

holy shit what a racist thing to say

Joshua Wheaton From my experience dealing with them, CRIMINALS of any color tend to make themselves look like the victim or the one being dealt a bad hand. Didn't konw that making up excuses was exclusive to black criminals or worse, as you put it "black people" as a wholet. Man the ignorance is steep in the world!

Reginald Glover grow up and stop generalizing people.

the world is a better place.

Man I've been thinking about that idea for the longest….it makes ZERO sense for someone to have the right to continue having children if the kids they presently have our being supported on the tax payer's dime!!!!

you obviously did great in math, idiot

I think the kid was an idiot for having a gun, (didn't deserve to die, but you reap what you sow) but the cops need to be properly investigated. 10 shots fired?

almost all white men are cowards.. especially cops. if you spin around to fast they'll think they're in danger & you may just get shot for it. – P – basically cowards defend cowards, they know this, which is why they find these type of articles to defend these (white) killers… but guess what? you're fucking up you're own futures. so keep alienating yourselves from every other race.. just as your ancestors did, and you might just find yourselves extinct. its going to boil over one day… anywho the cops are lying, if he was going to point a gun at them why'd he need to run to do it? why not just pull out where he stood? so I'm pretty sure he ran,(carrying drugs/3rd strike) reached for his pants, maybe to pull em up & being cowards, they saw this as a gun(s) pointed at them and they "fired on suspect".. case solved, guilty! LOL thee end.

Congratulations on using God to spread hate and ignorance.
"Thou shall not kill", there are no exceptions. if the little idiot kid killed someone, that's between him and God. he can think about it behind bars, but these cops shot to kill (10 shots fired). and when he was dying on the ground he begged them " please don't let me die" and one of the cops said " if you get up we will shoot again"

Why are white people always adopting black people that were thrown away by their kind, I don't see black people doing the same…………….so who is racist?

my question is if they were undercover and in an unmarked car, were they also in street clothes? if so, how was this kid to know they were police and not someone he SHOULD be running from? obviously this kid was no angel, and had no business having a gun, but something just feels off in this story.

Yes, keep looking at your high-crime cities with gun laws, surrounded by neighbouring states without them and think you have a point. Don't look at countries like Canada or those in Europe that have proper gun laws (pertaining to range training before being licensed, secure storage and transport, and background checks) that have less than ten percent of murders per 100,000 compared to the US.

Yes, and fire 10 times until dead. great advice. hope someone does the same for you

Who wrote it? A gang member? Cops Cops Cops. They used to be police in the newspaper at least.

hear – refers to listening
here – refers to location or placement
and you are really amazing, I'm awed that you can speak for 30 million black people and 110 million liberals.

Reginald Glover I don't know if you're targeting just the racist white people or white people in general.. .but not every white person is racist but you making threats like that is a little scary especially because the stereotype of a black person isn't good(which is a stereotype made by african americans) If you doubt me, which ethnicity created the crips and bloods?

does that include trailer trash and violent frat boys? or are we singling out a particular type?

umm, you.

A 16 y/o is not a "little kid" in my book, and there's always someone going to say, "He was a sweet boy.". Right, does the mug in the article's picture look like anything but a thughead? Let the investigation pan out and see the truth tell its' story.

yes, they do. grand larceny could be stealing an ipod, and inciting a riot can be acting rowdy. grand larceny is a serious crime, but murder is a BIG step from it.

yes because more killing is always the answer. not education, job training and proper law enforcement

Not a good idea to pull a gun on the cops who are chasing you and telling you to stop – You are going to find out the hard way that they mean business!

I am so sick of correcting you idiots about gun laws. No one is stopping you from having a gun. You do not need an assault rifle, a background check is necessary, you need to store your gun safely so your idiot child doesn't shoot himself and there are different requirement for transport. If there were proper gun laws, criminals won't be able to get weapons so easily. (from neighbouring states without laws)

Nope, but I think 10 shots fired was overkill, pardon the pun. Not saying the police shouldn't have defended themselves, but this reaction was not equal to what the boy did.

and this folks, is the side effect of inbreeding. Go slap your mother/sister for me or your father/uncle.

I agree with you for the most part, but when you see as many videos as i have of police beating unarmed black males that are already on the ground, you kind of understand why one would run. He obviously wasn't innocent, but did he deserve to die?

This isn't the type of story that calls for more gun laws, but nice try.

God, you people are so stupid. Treyon was unarmed. If you cannot see the difference between this and that, you need to stop breathing and just give up on life.

it is ilegal to drive drunk, but it still happens every minute, a law is not a magic spell that prevents you from doing something.

you sound like a horse's ass. This comment make you seem racist and ignorant, i hope for your sake this is not so.

yea, you need to relax, racism is wrong from either side. Some police are poorly trained and react like scared fools, some get too amped up in the chase and end up beating and kicking the perp to a pulp when has already surrendered. those kinda cops need to be fired or retrained. has nothing to do with race.

Meanwhile gun manufactures line their pockets and lobby the government while stuffing their fat faces.

it's a real shame that someone died period!, I'm going to wait until I read a final report before making any judjement call's! they say "do not judge a book by it's cover" this boy may look like a badass wannabe, but he could also have been a nice boy, as far as the gun is concerned, we will need to wait until we hear where he got it, and did he actually aim it at the cops, hold the judgement calls….wait for final report!

Absolutely, and the less of you the better for us.

LOL Reginald and Willie. You two disgust me. Typical black entitlement. Grow the fuck up.

alfa49455 ,don't get upset at the truth ! It is what it is !

No One Has Respect For The Dead Its A Shame On Here Bad Mouthing A 16 Year Old That Was Gun Down By Police. A Boy Was Killed That Is A Tragedy Under Any Circumstances. All You People On Here Making Your Ignorant And Unjust Assumptions Should Be Ashamed Of Yourselves.

As long as the "Thug Life" is glorified in music, movies and video games, mental midgets like this dead little bastard will continue to think they're bulletproof. Aside from parading photos of this kid's bullet-riddled corpse all around the public, I"m not sure when/if it will ever stop. True, murder has been around since Cain and Abel, but this little thug dork thought he was all "gangsta."

alfa49455 Ignore these rednecks on here, dont know what happened, but al I know is that someones child is dead, and yeah fat boy scott everyone is angel to their parents idiots

Joshua Wheaton BITCH SHUT YOUR WHITE CRACKER, HILLBILLY ASS THE FUCK UP BITCH. BRING YOUR WHITE ASS OVER HERE AND SAY SOME SHIT LIKE THAT, I'D FUCKING MOP THE FLOOR WITH YOUR CRACKER ASS BITCH. TALK ALL THAT SHIT BEHIND THE COMPUTER, YOU MOTHERFUCKERS ARE THE MAIN ONES BLOWING UP SCHOOLS , RAPING KIDS, AND KILLING PPL, GET YOUR SHIT RIGHT, YOU NO GOOD KKK RACIST CUNT. KEEP TALKING YOUR SHIT BITCH

WEIRD, HOW IF THAT WERE A WHITE KID, NO ONE WOULD SAY SHIT ABOUT WELFARE

I always think its funny when someone claims, "there are more whites in jail than black !" – uhh really ? You ever consider the % of the overall population Einstein ?

Reginald Glover LOL, I agree with you, they always have something to fuckign say, but my hubby is white, so we'll leave him out, because hes far from racist like these fucking redneck honkeys , talking shit on here. Knowing their asses are scary ass fuck

Auntie Chrissy Shut the fuck up dude, all you motherfuckers have been talking about black this, and black that. Give me a break, really we know what you white devils think abouttttttttttttttttttttt and how you think

Naw bitch , it's your stepbrother, from your Nigga daddy that your fat ass white mother fucked

Matthew Z. Law definition of Grand Larceny is the crime of theft of another's property which includes money over a certain value and depending on the limit in NY yes an iPod could account for Grand larceny. No matter your view on the story it is a sad ending, my question is where were the parent(s) there is so much that could have been done, before lethal force was used, and I also understand the mentality of the police, I cannot account on every police officer, but the ones I personally know have families, and they want to go home to them at the end of their shift, so when someone pulls a gun or any other weapon, they tend to react. From the story told by witnesses heard eight shots, what we don't know is how many shots were fired by the police and or how many were fired by the suspect. “I heard a lot of shots, rapid fire, about eight shots,” another resident told the New York Post. “I heard the gun shots from my living room.” I have been around firearms my entire life, I know how to transport, handle and store my firearms, these laws have been in place since before I could walk. If you have never been involved in a fire fight let me explain something, I don't care what you shoot on a range, your paper target is not going to return fire. It's a completely different story once your target starts to shoot back, and your target is not going to just stand there and let you shoot them. Remember with any story from any media source it is edited and censored, so I bet there is a lot more to this story that was not released in the press interview.

Turns out now that the cop who shot him is black. You got no Zimmerman this time black America. Just another dead little thug saving taxpayers thousands of dollars.

what doe's that have to do with this 16 year old being shot and killed no where in the article did it say he open fire he just turned in their direction they did have to shot to kill they are going to use that in their defense andthey will be cleared. some of your people are racist assholes did you say that the boy in New;ton was poor white trailer trash.

racist

Sad thing is… it is hard to know who to believe… #1- the neighborhood people #2 – the cops #3 – the media.

I don't what's more of a shame someone pulling the race card in 2013 or seeing next to a person's name Top Commenter(more like too much time on their hands).

that would be ( their) not ( there) how you expect to get you a white girl beeotch?

Matthew Z Williams Wake up, seriously. England was voted MOST violent country in Europe.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRJ0ls_W9XM

exactly….you know that march is stop blaming white people month…..

I've done a lot of stupid shit when I was a kid, but I didn't carry around a gun, much less point it at a cop. Both sides have reason to lie about this, but the witnesses left out any mention of a gun or him pulling it out. Whether he pointed it at them or not might become the only issue. Even so, having your hand on a weapon at all in front of a cop will force them to make a fast decision.

why you say that ole booooshit nikka…you know you want a white girl beeotchh

Matthew Z Williams no, he's actually asking a good question. stop being a smart ass.

Wow I never thought joining the Marine Corps. and defending the Country and people that I love and willing to die for would make me a coward…..Your welcome for your free speech. Here is a little bit of education for you; people are not born into the world a racist or a hater these types of attitudes are taught and learned through observation of others. In the end we all live on the same planet and we are all part of the human race. The only way racism and hate will disappear is thorough education.

Reginald Glover yous a lien maaa fukka nikka…welfare gettin food stamp sellin try and get a white girl havin

Serhend Sirkecioglu There's more racial hatred in 2013 than in 1963. The difference is that lynching is illegal.

lets look at it like this. even if we take race out of this story. here are the facts.
1. He was a teen with a 357 handgun. was the gun stolen. more than likely. this in itself is a high class misdemeanor or a low end felony. how innocent is that.
2. He knew he had the gun that' s why he ran and was killed when he pulled the weapon. I like in the article how he yelled he wasn't running. well he sure wasn't standing still you know. He did this so that people you did not see it, could say the kid said he wasn't running.
3. None of the other kids that were questioned were hurt during all of this. you know why and listen up people, not because of race, but becasue they didn't run, they didn't have a weapon. You want to be a thug, gansta, whatever, don't come crying when the tables are turned on you.
4. So after saying all of this, there will still be people both white and black who feel this kid was innocent. I don't like the fact he died, maybe we should start sending these guys to iraq or afghanistan, you want to play with guns do it over there, and let our boys come hoime.

punk ass maaa fukka….yous a jive maaa fukka…..project livin blame the white people havin wish you had a white girl wishin..shut the fuk up or ill tell all the white kids stop buyin that ole rap bullshit then all your boys will be back in the projects sellin crack to their own people.

Joshua Wheaton Are there more black adults on welfare than employed? I'm not being facetious. I really want to know. Are we actually taking care of an entire race of people?

why you indoctrinated liberal that cant think for himself…shut the fukk up or youll get your ass beat when the civil war comes….and we wont protect you from the people your so affraid of…..beeeeeoooottch

I don't know what to say about this except the fact that its really messed up that a young kid in general has to go through that and get shot. Whether he had a gun or not, whether he pulled it at the cops or not…he's just a kid! its sad he's suppose to be playing sports or video games or something..instead he's stupidly holding and gun and got shot.
Quit pulling the race card people seriously. Black or white whatever…get over it its 2013. its getting old.

Victims don't have to say anything. The actions done against them speak for themselves.

So, the parents were where?

Chris Daley All the posts I read from whites are loaded with black stereotypes and you're saying they're playing race card? but then maybe you're right , since no one mentioned fried chicken, grape soda or watermelon?

Mr. Davis, while you are correct in saying that most of the mass killing are done by whites. the overall yearly rates by blacks far out cedes the number of mass killing by whites. take a look at the death rates of such cities as Detroit, Atlanta, L.A, Memhis, New Orleans, Philadelphia and the list goes on. While these mass killing get more publicity, Blacks have been killing Blacks for so long and often it no longer shocks us. i know you are a proud black man but don't be so proud to recognize that blacks kill more blacks per year than anyone else by far. just go on world star. there is nothing but black on black violence on that website. You dont have to like but the facts speak for themselves.

Welcome to the internet Luis!

God will have the last word where they are all concerned. Oh, you thought Stephen Hawking was right. Well, he was wrong.

He was innocent that night. Zimmerman stalked the guy with a gun and when the guy got the best of him , he shot him.

This is one thing that has always bothered me. everyday across America, blacks are killing blacks daily and not one black person says a thing about it. when a white person kills a black person omg it;s the end of the world. Please someone explain this to me. Where is Al sharp ton when blacks are killing blacks, ugh know where cause there is no uproar. Blacks for the most part have become numb to the fact that they kill more of their own people than any other race combined. I just don't get it.

WHERE WERE THE PARENTS WHEN THIS YOUNG MAN WAS GROWING UP?

If a white, 38 year old suburban professional like myself pulled a.357 out of my pants in front of a bunch of cops,
I'd be Swiss cheese too. Cops don't just drive around looking for black kids to kill.
They merely live by the code of, "not today". If they see a gun being pulled, they have to do what they have to do to ensure their own safety.
There's no time to ask how old he is or if he came from a broken home or the millions of other excuses Black America makes for their fucked up kids. Pull a firearm, get shot. That simple. But of course nobody taught him that. As usual.
Now he's dead and of course it's whitey's fault. As usual.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj0mtxXEGE8

Handsome young man too…. fucking shame….

Cuts both ways. I believe it would bother you more if a white person was killed by black. Would you feel different about the OJ verdict if OJ's wife was black? Of course you would.

Sad, because like all teens gone bad…he is someone's little boy with an angelic face, a mixed up head, and a heart no one can read. All I know is that no teen (and few adults) should be carrying guns, let alone pulling them out on cops or anyone else. What do people expect? If my son was the cop, I'd hope he would shoot to save his own life. Good guys…bad guys. It never ends. We need to find a way to keep guns out of the hands of the criminals without compromising our inalienable rights to bear arms. It seems weird that our system is dummer than the kids that own these guns. I don't think the government is putting enough effort into finding out where and how teens (children) are able to outsmart them in stealing, buying and possessing guns.

R.I.P KiKi may your soul be at peace.

The whole ban on assault weapons is to keep suburbia safe. Obama doesn't care what happens in the inner cities.

It's sad to see the racist comments put up here smh I swore adults knew better…This is not an issue based on race White people have been gunned down by the hands of Law Enforcement. It's just in this day and age their primary target is the very same people they fear..Young Black Kids.

Matthew Z Williams Ok look your a intelligent guy; I have been around firearms my entire life so let me ask you, do you even know what an assault rifle is?? my service issued M-4 is an assault rifle. My AR-15 is a semi-auto (not an assault rifle) meaning every time I squeeze the trigger 1 round is being fired down range. politicians and the media are visually classifying a rifle based on looks instead of how the rifle functions. I don't know what your range of knowledge when it comes to firearms, but mine is pretty good. Do I tell you what you need in your life? Why do you need a car that does a 100mph when most state speed limits is 65? (A vehicle is a privilege not a right) Why do you need a laptop, a iPod , a iPhone, iPad or any other smart or i device ( yes I do know people with all of these things) call me old fashioned but I still buy books. How many TVs does one household need, Why do some people need 2 cars, you can keep on going the truth is this is America, its because we have a right to own and do things that some people may never understand why. I love my Country even when we have messed up. Look I believe in fair and equal rights to everybody, it is our rights has Americans and has human beings. I understand you may not understand why I and many like me are into our firearms. It is those firearms that won our Independence from England. You have a right to speak what you want, worship who and what you want, has long as you don't do harm to those that I care about we could get along fine. After all some of my favorite words on the Constitution is "We the people" An assault rifle in function is a selective fire rifle ( select between automatic, semi-auto, and burst fire) that uses a intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine.

so exactly why are you attacking me. I don't like to see anyone die, ok i will play it your way their Mike. Do you feel that their would have been as big of an outrage in either the black or white community had OJ's wife been black. I truly don't think so.

You spelled "dumber" wrong. Which of course, is sort of ironic.

Mike Szerbiak , I'm up for have a battle of wits with you but at least don't come empty minded. lol

Yep if they hang out in gangs then gansters sounds good…or maybe just bad kids. We had guns and I never stole one. I would have had the crap beat out of me. And I really hate blaming it on just blacks. They just happen to be the poor folks in that area.

The only reason Obama mentioned Trayvon Martin was because a white reporter asked him while the cameras were rolling. In fact, he tried to back off from it. The question I always asked was why would this reporter question Obama about Trayvon Martin after a press conference that had nothing to do with what happened in Florida.

Kayuani. You are hot…..

Another person that would have end up in jail using up more of our tax money anyways.

No he's right we will say anything to make ourselves out to be the victim…But this based on past events is why we can do so..Stop acting blind to an on going problem we are well aware of how the lives of young Black Men in America are treated..Until you understand the strained relations between Law enforcement and Black America then you will never get it…This goes back to the days of Hoover and his COINTELPRO program and a little before that Jim Crow as an example..Stop the ignorance.

We dont know the Ethnic background of the cops, so lets not all go crazy yet.

Its devilish how many whites are so racist on anything black. The kids were standing infront of a house. What crime had they committed? Once you answer that question then open your half assed rotten mouth with demon brains.

But do any of us really know if the parents were active in the child's life, or whether they cared or not? Maybe Dad bailed on Mom…or visa versa. Maybe drugs were involved, or maybe not. Maybe Mom worked so many hours a day she couldn't watch her children, even though she loved them dearly. Maybe even with everything the parents tried, the kid got messed up with the wrong kids in school and nothing the parents did helped. Believe me, you don't have to be poor and black to have a troubled child.

Who said anything about a battle of wits. I just, like everybody else that commented, just tell it like it is. I haven't attacked anyone.

And jobs, and safer places to live, and less stress and less bullying in schools. Normal people don't kill other people, no matter what color they are. Angry people do.

BLACK OR WHITE AS LONG AS YOU HAVE PARENTS ON JUNK FOOD, DRUGS, BOOZE, CIGARETTES, NO EXERCISE.NO PERSONAL DISCIPLINE, YOU CAN'T EXCEPT THE CHILDREN TO TURN OUT TO BE GOOD.IT'S TRAGIC.

One less to worry about,………of course idiots will say it was racist cops,…. except one cop was black.

Don't care about skin color. Do care about rights. People please stop and think. Everything we do in life has a direct impact on us and others. It's all about choice. Make them wisely. Choice is a freedom we take for granted here in the US. If you don't like it or think it is wrong, make another choice for yourself and leave. We are lucky to be able to make that choice and yes, it really is that simple.

I am sure this aspiring rap artist was just turning his life around. I am shocked, shocked I say!

rip little man, better luck next time.

Most police involved shootings have a person that was doing nothing wrong at all, just hanging around with several criminals and not obeying police orders with a gun and a rap sheet. He was such a good boy, right.

His mother will say; "That ain't who he was. The cops had no right to shoot him" and then Jackson and Sharpton will show up for the photo opps.

Good job cops..He wanted to be a thug now he died from a slug…He was a "goot" boy..Them policemen shooted an innocent baby..A real up and coming..Thug..Again, good job cops..

Camile Johnson what would you have thought about him after he shot and killed people in your family and then held you at gun point while 4 of his friend raped and beat you and put you in the hospitial for 3 months. Oh yeah your probably on state aide would care anyway.

Another poor innocent child, with a long rap sheet at sixteen. I think he got what he deserved. He should have complied and not run. Running indicated you have something to hide, the other guys didn't run.

Black, White, Yellow, Green…He was trash..and the trash got taken out.

Eight shots? Deadly force? Two police officers. Did this really happen the way the police said it did? I know some very honest awesome police officers but I also know some dirty rotten lying police officers who will lie at the drop of the hat in any situation. Was the kids gun out? Was it the kids gun or a plant from the police after he was shot? Kid grabbing his side after he was shot and yelling stop? Mire than one civilian witnesses. No, a police officer or a government official would never lie, right? Heck maybe next time they should let Obama send it a drone. This kid did have a rap sheet but did he pull a gun and take aim?

I read so many blatant racist comments, But the one that really got to me was "Is that Trayvon Martin's brother"? How can anyone be so dam evil and harbor so much hatred unless they learned to be that way from a child? What happens if it were your child, brother, sister or parent. Please stop and think before you spew hatred, evil talk and one day KARMA will visit you. It just doesn't make sense to attempt to have a logical conversation. A 16 year old boy is now dead, none of us really knew who h was but immediately brand a dead boy as a ghetto nigga, worthless, troublemaker. Again we really didn't know him;.

Open season on our black children is NOT going to happen! Questioned for what? I don't see the cops runnin up and questioning white BOYs who hang out all around town.

Okay, once you slide the gun into the waist band, you give up the "little kid" or teen title. You're just a person with a gun after that. Know of course the true story may never come out.

What's with this headline, "Cops kill teen gunman"? The editor doesn't seem to realize that police work is often hard and often dangerous. How disrespecftul.

Ebonics…… It Be Stupid!

cops did a good job…they are heroes.

Alpha 49…you be one sick dude.

One less scumbag on the street, one less scumbag in prison for the taxpayers to support.

And if Obama has a son he'd look just like Kimani.

What kind of a headline is that, "Cops kill teen gunman"? It's obvious that the editor doesn't realize that police work is hard and often dangerous.

Good, I'm glad they got rid of this pest. These people don't know how to act, and they get that from their stupid parents. We have to be politically correct, and not stereotype black people, but majority of them are just ghetto and STUPID. Glad this kid was killed.

Another one bites the dust. The little SOB got what he deserved.

said he was running for his life….maybe, but he still had a gun and his intentions were to do harm with it in some capacity. the only thing hat stops a gun toting criminal, is a gun toting law abiding citizen.

One less criminal. Good job cops.

Very informative article….not!

Saved the taxpayers money knowand probably saved a life or two.The picture looks like he's 12, the manipulative press at worst.

He looks like just a boy in the picture. I'll bet it's an old picture like the media used on the Travon Martin story.

oh gosh.. guess we'll be hearing this on cnn for the next 6 months. who is innocent and guns are the problem right?

This is why bad people shouldn't have guns. Wher did this criminal get his gun? How did he think the Officers would respond to having a gun pointed at them. The Criminal here was the Kid. Years back one was shot and killed also by a law officer BILLY THE KID. This is a learning step here don't carry guns and for sure don't ever point a gun a a policeman , Deadly Force!

Stupid things kids do get them in trouble crack smoker drug seller bad parents he has the making for Life in prison one more we wont feed and cloth the rest of his Days. GOOD JOB LAW OFFICERS.

let me guess….he was such a good kid right? idiot thug want to be, got what he deserved, now we don't have to support his dumb ass in jail or give his dumb momma more welfare..

With his rap sheet and that.357, it was inevitable.

If he was so innocent, why was a TEENAGER carrying a weapon?

And if this young man burns in hell, will you also rejoice? I'm concerned your priorities are political instead of being rooted in the heart of Christ.

If you are going to be a thug, then you and your parents need to be able to face the ulitmate consequences without whining and crying racism or discrimination no matter WHAT color you are.
I love the witness Camille Johnson saying "they was just beating up somebody over on 51st and they cops just go around shooting little kids"….WHAT? Apparently is it acceptable to beat up people, mug, steel, threaten, carry guns as big as they are around town, run from the police and do all the typical "thug" crap that ruins communities but if they get caught or killed by a policeman protecting and serving the community then all of a sudden they are good little kids that didn't deserve to be caught. It doesn't matter what color a kid or killer is…what matters is that they weren't being "good little kids" beating up someone, running from the law and pointing guns at the cops.

Live by the gun, die by the gun. Too bad this little kid had to learn it the hard way.

Let, s see a " Current Picture "! I'm surprised they did, nt give you a picture of him sucking on a Tit while he was sleeping! CURRENT PLEASE?

I'm surprised the cops actually hit him and not several other people like they did in August…

Dear 52 Fakers,

Who invented slavery in America?
Who controlled the American slave trade?
Too many judgmental folks in this land.
Caucasians talk down on African Americans with criminal records, even African Americans down their own kind not even realizing the biggest prevail-er of evil in America was the white man.

You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected–even children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me.

Sincerely yours.

Bet he looks like obama's son too! How can this happen in New York? They have really strict and tough gun laws? Where is Bloomberg? Hey Al, this is your city, how did kid get a gun?

What's the problem? he pointed a gun at a cop, he got what he deserved, lets see a person who puts their life on the line daily to serve and protect to be dead or some snot ass nosed punk who thinks he's tupac?

you point a gun at anyone, you get what you deserve if it's not self defense.

Will Obama say " If I had a son , he would've looked like him and he would be a thug? "

Thank you for your service Chris.

Love how all these assholes on here are saying people are racist for speaking the truth,

IT don't matter if you are black, white or purple, YOU aim a gun at someone to do harm, YOU DESERVE what's coming to you.

ghetto THUGS!

I wonder if Obama will get on TV and say if he had a son it would look like this little thug too?

The kid is 16 and already had a LONG RAP SHEET< what the fuck people,

This is sad, we should pray for the child's family. Cops might be on edge sometimes, pulling anything from your waist, even if it is not a gun, can get you shot, right?

i never knew that if a prep yelled stop cops had to listen

At least we wont have to support him for 50 years in jail.

alleged gunman pigs just got away with murder again blow the pigs away.

LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER PIECE OF CRAP THAT WON'T BE A THREAT TO SOCIETY EVER AGAIN.

That explains why you hear of black people getting killed by everybody except white women.

Evil is in the hearts of men,not their skin color.

so he was running for his life according to one lady, telling them to stop and not running according to another witness….sounds like witnesses trying to say anything to make the cops out to be the bad guys here. Then again why did they shoot him 8 times? I would understand 4 shots (2 from each) but 8? what the hell happened.

now that's what I call gun control.

And if a white guy points a gun at someone, they'll call him a liberal.

Oh well… but don't worry, only unskilled and ignorant labor is required to make thousands more of these porch monkeys.

You know what's starting to piss me off, when people start writting stupied ignorant comments on articles online about what's happening in the world today… To all those pathetic stupied ignorant people, don't you understand that the writters and business owners of these news articles make there money off of your dump ass comments… The internet is going to be a our civil war all over again it's the new era new form of slavery and were all PEASANT's in all these millionaires game… But here's an idea why not worry about your community first and then speak of what the tragedies that are happening in the world… And P.S. unless you were there who are you to state anything… I've preached to killer's and thieves to try to make this world a better place and you what are you doing… enough said…

Is this going to be another Treyvon Martin incident ~ where the media never reported the complete truth including the picture of him that was like 7 yrs old, just so it would start an outrage amongst the people in America and across the world? Pretty sad when we cannot trust our own news people to relay the truth to the American public ~ they are only allowed to report the news as they are told by their supv. in order to get better ratings………what a messed up country we live in!

I don't understand.. the punk pulled a gun on two cops.. and of course his lying little buddies are going to say he didn't do anything wrong..

Same old story, same old race, same old results and the same old excuses from the neighborhood trash!

sorry kid this is the real world. not a hip-hop video or move..once your gone it over…

If the kid "alledgedly pointed a game at cops" shouldn't it be read "cops alledgedly shot him"?

The truth is everyone…Racism is alive and well in America, it will always be a part of this country. Blacks and whites have been so caught up in battling one another, no one noticed the illegal immigrates and murderous muslims that invaded us, while we were bickering. None of you blacks were slaves, get over it, and none of us whites were slaves owners, so us whites should get off our high horses. Someone's child was killed, he was killed because he took arms against law enforcement. It doesn't matter why, only that a series of unfortunate, and yes maybe even avoidable circumstances, put this young american in that place, at that time and with a firearm. We don't know if it was from poor parenting, or social disadvantage. There is one solace that I find in this, and that is this, this was a child, not likely understanding life as a man, and tells me that right now he is in the arms of the Lord, and not accountable for his actions. But, let's just keep on fighting one another, redneck this, and welfare that, because one day soon, we are all both blacks and whites going to wake up, and America won't belong to either one of our races. Prayers of peace to this young man's family.

Another innocent, little boy killed by the mean police men. The little darling was probably on his way to church, or to help some old lady cross the street. When will this senseless killing of these children, like this boy and Trevon Martin stop? Hopefully NEVER!

facts, the guy had a gun. he ran and yelled " don't shoot cause I'm not running" while he was running with a gun in his hand which he pointed at the police. Justice served

Mike Szerbiak I thought liberals didnt like guns and want them banned

Keep up the good work guys.This kid was headed for prison or the graveyard anyways. I don't know why people keep defending these kids he already had arrest and wasnt even old enough to carry a gun let alone own one. Thugs get slugs another one bites the dust.

Since when does the perp tell the COPS to stop? Supposed to be the other way around. "I ain't runnin," the teen said, as he ran down the street. Love the "witness" statements. "These cops is too much." NYPD did the world a favor. One less thug.

exactly

get ready for more black mentality rioting, fires, looting and murder. just a matter of time until that nugger in the white house enters the scene.

my son knew right from wrong when he was about 3. This was no child, this was someone who made his own decisions. and BTW, my son is now a police officer who very much wants to return to his family at the end of his shift.

I CAN HEAR IT ALL NOW: "I DIDUN DO NUTIN, DAT AIN'T MY GUN SUR! —– GREAT NEWS HERE IS: THERE IS ONE LESS DEGENERATE AND ONE LESS GUN ON THE STREETS TO DO HARM TO AN INNOCENT LAW ABIDING PERSON! GIVE THE TWO COPS A COMMENDATION & RAISE! THIS SUB-HUMAN WAS A KILLER IN TRAINING, LOOKS LIKE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE TO ME!

Oh yeah. He was just minding his own business with a 357.

His actions are to blame.

what kind of trauma were the two cops treated for. this is not a complete story, don't know what went down before cops caught up to him.

Steen Burke, you are a moron. Another bleeding heart, tree hugging, stupid Liberal.

When they start shooting white kids will you all feel the same? It will happen.

Pull a gun on the police your going to get shot!

White kid, black kid, who cares. yeah society sucks too! You could raise your kids to be the perfect little angels to, some forcing all their bullshit rules & regulations, bible pushing, spare the rod spoil the child kinda thing. You don't know what's going to happen with kids these days. They get mixed up with the wrong kinda people, some get brainwashed, some bullied, now there's an issue. I understand this kid had a criminal record & pulled out a gun but how many cops, one kid? How many shot at him? One shot to the leg woulda taken him down. A bit excessive I think. yeah understand a cop coulda been shot, get that. It's just plain crazy is all. yes I know they're are so many kids in the system cause of violent crimes here but who's to blame here? The kid? The parents? Society? Wrong choice in friends maybe? To much senseless shit going on I think.

Prayers to the family of this young man.

I have read all the comments and one thing no one is asking is where are the parents? why didn't they do something about this kid. I think if the courts would bring back ass whippens these parents would have more control over there kids. as of right now there parents should shoulder some of the blame , i knew where my kids were all the time and they new better than to disrecept others or the cops. its how you raise them that counts.

SCOTT WHEELER LET IT BE ONE OF YOUR KIDS AND SEE HOW YOU FEEL AND YOU WESLEY LET IT BE SOME ONE FROM YOUR FAMILY BOTH OF YOU SHUT -UP! AND WHATEVER YOU SAY ABOUT ME GOES BACK TO YOUR COLD HEARTS STUPID!

I'd say this could go either way. The kid has a rap sheet and did have a gun. On the other hand the police are not trained properly and are highly reactionary.

If he did pull a revolver, then he deserves to be shot. Why, in Gods name, if police officers spend so much time at the firing range, cant they shoot these young kids in the knees or legs instead of going for the kill shots? We didn't even go for kill shots overseas. Aim to scare or scar, not to kill.

Shoot first ask questions later…..If they live.
Seems to be the way cops work.

It's sad …A cop took a life, he didn't want to take.Thats why we have COPS .

We have COPS " To protect & serve" A Mother lost her son.Its all sad & the pain runs deep.

We have COPS " To protect & serve" A Mother lost her son.Its all sad & the pain runs deep.

I always find it interesting but unsurprising that so much animosity, division, and hatred is created from these kinds of events. Created would probably be the wrong word. It was always there, but chances like this give it a chance to beat its ugly face. Makes me feel as if all hope is lost sometimes.

Cops are smug they think they can do whatever they want because there "the law". When in reality they're thugs in uniform. They are supposed to protect and serve not abuse and discriminate. It sounds like a hate crime to me and the cop should be charged as a civilian. Not just get a slap on the wrist and a suspension with pay leave.

Let's call a spade a spade and be done with it. They are nothing but uneducated welfare gun-toking thugs who deserve to be killed.

Sold by Africans to Europeans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade, and I'm not certain what a practice that was obsoleted in the 1800s has to do with anything today. Get the fuck over it.

You're absolutely correct. Some of the most bigoted people I've ever met were black. Period. And to date – NO bigot that I've met, white, black, asian, etc. – has had an iota of intelligence and rational thought behind them. It's sickening what humans do to one another.

Most of them aren't. You need to follow the source links out. These are here simply to accrue page views and generate conversation/controversy.

yea i hear alot of different sides…estwin nephew jaquan was with him saw them kill him infornt of him and all just crazy. they say he didnt have a gun.

Mike, Yes, I have to agree with you that the spelling error is pretty funny. Actually I do know how to spell the word, but sometimes my fingers are faster than my brain and I fail to catch the error even after reviewing. Thanks for pointing that out. Next time I'll be sure to remember.

if he didn't have a gun thats def different. Its a sad world we live in:(

I think a scientist can afford to make one typo every once in a while. lol We get the point!

Did ANYof these witnesses happen to notice the "victim" pointing a gun at the police? Yea…probably not
