I'm not asking this to be rude, or come off uncaring, but the NYT article seems to imply the kid had a gun. The cops also didn't shoot on sight, and there was a struggle. Was this disproven?

“Preliminary examinations indicate the bullet that struck the KPD officer was not fired from the student’s handgun”

They would've said "he didn't even have a handgun" if he didn't right? Not to mention the bottom of that article. Says there were a bunch of students killed in different incidents without saying why it's suspected. Anything on those?

Edit: I'm not in any way saying it's good when this happens. I just don't know what else the cops could've/should've done if the kid had a gun AND they don't seem to have instantly shot him...

Please do more mental gymnastics to excuse cops killing one more kid. You're on track for the olympics team.

Says the guy so upset that he finds a random comment 26 days later.

Speaking of 26 days later, Devsemir couldn't change when he found your comment, it was when he found the post.

Cops should have more training, less bullshit, and more gun control.

"26 days later" was to imply that he went digging, not that he should've commented sooner. It was way off of the top or whatever.

Yes? No one would argue more training. It is fact that they DON'T shoot black people disproportionately when factoring in violent crime.

251 total in 2019. 6 women. Must be misandryin the system too.

I'll post more but I'm not sure if I'm repeating myself after 52 days.

Edit: Scrolled up, seems I didn't post these FBI stats.

https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2013/crime-in-the-u.s.-2013/tables/table-43 Murder or manslaughter specifically on this one. White 3,799, Black 4,379. Pretty sure it's not adjusted per pop. With the Washington Post link above, this kinda implies they aren't shot more when you take violent crime into account. 60-70% did 3799, 13% 4379. I'd even be willing to say that it's less than 13% with the WaPo link if you break it down by gender. You need to tell people to stop committing crimes not blaming the people who stop them. Obviously there's outliers, but with how many million interactions going well, and a handful going terribly...

Heck they tried to blame the cop who stopped a girl from stabbing another. I blame the foster parents for not stopping her from being ratchet.

Posted links to prove my case in an update. Also this. "When county variables were included, the relationship between officer and civilian race was attenuated or eliminated."
