Very funny,,he was running from the cops,,AND he was armed with a gun.
Have you not seen the body-cam footage yet, it is viral.
Good way to get shot.
I love the way you guys skip over most of the story to string together an out of context bit of lies. He's a 13 year old kid firing a gun at 2:30 in the morning. Where are his parents, first of all? Second, and to your point, you obviously haven't watched the video. The way he "dropped his gun" made it look like he was still holding it when he brought his hands up, thus making any reasonable person take a shot. Please stop the fantasy BLM nonsense. It's getting old and tired.
Tell me again why was the 13 year old carrying airsoft gun in the middle of the night.
Why did a 13 year old have a gun in the first place?
He wasn't 13. He was a man with a gun. Running. Which reminds me, Michael Brown didn't say that before he was shot. He DID reach in to the cop's car and attack him. And he was shot. (His parents ALSO let their son down.)
IDK but I'm guessing things moved very fast and they didn't know he was 13.
I'm not excusing this, but I don't know enough to judge.
Also, if the 13-year-old had stayed home, and hadn't been running around with a gun, it wouldn't have happened. It might be that somebody his age can be extra dangerous because he has no judgment.
But I guess I'm just lucky my own daughter didn't do something like that; we didn't have guns, but we also lived in a peaceful neighborhood. She still did some pretty dangerous things that I couldn't prevent.
Ok..I'll admit this one to be a gray area. His hands were up and I saw nothing in them..but he raised his hands and turned so quickly I can see how it would be hard to tell.
It also seems he was 17.
That 13 year old boy should have been home he should not have been out at 1:00 in the morning with a 21 year old where was that young man's mother if I was out at 1:00 a.m. at 13 years old my mother would be looking for me and she would beat my *** for doing such a thing the little boy said to himself I want to become a man tonight and he got to become a man as that great detective once said it's going to be a closed casket homie
參考: If you're 13 years old and you're out at 1:00 a.m. hanging around with a 21 year old you're obviously doing something that is not legal so to all 13 year olds white black Hispanic Indian whatever you may be please stay home at 1:00 a.m. get sleep and don't do anything illegal you'll be just fine
We'll just gloss over that Toledo was firing said gun at passing cars, apparently for fun. 2:30 AM isn't known for being the brightest time of day, and running from the pursuing officer while holding the gun only to whip around a bare half-second after throwing said firearm behind a fence out of the cop's line of sight probably had something to do with it.
But know what an even better question would be, that I'm not hearing much of in the news? Who was it that put the gun in the boy's hand to begin with?
He DID NOT! I live in suburban Chicago, and the kid was carrying a gun. A security camera that the TV networks did not air, showed that he threw his gun through an opening in the alley fence when the cop confronted him. Then, within 1/2 of a second, he turned around and raised his hand. The cop had only 1/2 second to see whether the kid was carrying the gun.
LOCAL TV stations showed the security camera video, but the national TV networks did not show that the kid WAS carrying a gun as he was being pursued.
I wonder what really happened since the context nowadays have been wishy washy.
I watched the video over and over and couldn't tell if he had a gun or not.
Socialist Feminist, please go out tonight and don't follow cops orders.
Very sad. Lesson- Don't run from the police, especially when carrying a weapon. And parents, pay attention to what your children are doing...
Cops who shoot civilians should be held in custody till they are cleared...
Hands up dont shoot is a fraud, mike brown did not have his hands up, not only that but he fought with the officer.
Another Chicago story. A kid turns to the gun at 12 and is killed in an alley at 2:30AM at 13. The killing was justified. The only reason that he didn't turn and shot the cop was because he was out of bullets.
In a nano second what's your decision. Isn't this the old Oke Doke? He's raising his left hand and turns and shoots you. I'm sorry. I'm not waiting to find out. I'm shooting.
He played himself. He could have thrown the gun away when he was running down the alley. Then the gun would not have been at issue. But he thought that he'd do the old Oke Doke. You'd relax and then he turn and shoot you. Then he realized he had no more bullets. You shot him, just like you were supposed to do. You're no fool.
He's dead because he played himself.
I don’t think liberals know who you’re talking about. So they even know his name?
I'd like to know what a 13-year-old was doing running around the streets at 3 am - while packing heat. There's something very wrong there.
The video makes it clear that he DID put his hands up, and that nothing was in them.
However, it will need to be analyzed by experts to figure out what happened. My guess is that one, nervous, trigger-happy officer shot him.
I am in Chicago, Sorry, but we do know more than the rest of you do.
No he did not drop the gun he held on to it,
so he didnt comply with officers, he turned around with a gun
Sad incident. And he turned around with the gun, which is why the officer shot. Still, very sad.
A gun was found on the other side of the fence where the kid was standing. None of us knows what the whole story is.
Probably because many cops are cowards who should not have the job and should not walk the street but should be in jail. There are good cops but there are also monster cops.
#BLM
I am white, but my step brother is black. I live in near Washington DC and when I was about 13 my dad was a Redskins game with me and we watched a stupid cop go buts on someone and he said to me, “that is the kind of cop we have to worry about Greg being around. They shoot some poor black teen because the teen’s acting up”. Luckily my stepbrother survived being where they were police officers and was never shot despite mistakes he made. He was a team to do some dumb things, but he would not of deserve to have been murdered by a cop for simply being a stupid teen and doing things like smoking marijuana or trespassing. My step mother was filled with sorrow when Treyvon Martin was killed because Treyvon Martin was exactly like my step brother when he was younger.
I have mental illness and I was acting unusual at age 20 and someone called the police because I was nearest school. The police were very kind and very respectful to me and got me somewhere until my father could come get me and later I went to a hospital. Had I been black since my hands were in my pocket I would’ve been killed on the spot instead of the cops being gracious like they were and getting me to a hospital.
Kids are hard-headed. Any parent of a teenager will tell you. It's sad that it's becoming a death sentence.
Although the officer did tell him to drop the gun and put his hands up. That's what he did. It's weird his first instinct is to kill. Aren't they the one's wearing body armor?
That's why you shouldn't always follow the cops' orders. ACAB
His age is irrelevant, the issue was he was armed and running. Apologists for criminals are a big part of why kids like him think they are above the law.
Seems toothsome is an idiot saying ha was 17.
Why was a 13 year old in a Position where he was facing down cops with a gun?
The cop must have saw a threat and had to act on it.
He had a gun the officer was acting in self defense
The officer may have not seen him drop the gun and shot when he saw his arms move.
These tragedies happen whenever a cop mistakens a harmless child's toy for a real weapon.
he ditched the gun behind the fence, turned around and raised his hands in the same action, what the cop saw was a gun in the hand that then disappeared behind his body as he turned towards him and the hand that had the gun raising as he turned, the cop didn't see him chuck the gun behind the fence, the cop was completely justified in his actions, it's too bad the kid felt like ditching the gun would change anything, instead of just dropping it, and it's too bad that he decided to turn around to put his hands up instead of just stopping and putting them up, it's a series of unfortunate events, but the cop made a split second decision, and his decision was based on defense not malice, I don't know why you idiots think a cop needs to wait to be shot before shooting, yall are just as bad as the gun nuts
Get off the streets and get a job and stop being a burden to society. All the rioting and looting does nothing but make your side look stupid. Nobody gonna give you any credits when you burn and destroy and ruin other people's lives that weren't even involved in the initial events. If you have issue with the shootings, talk to the cops and police departments responsible. It doesn't give you the rights to loot a store, burn a car, or kill a cop in a completely different city. Your throught process is stupid and you probably should die if you think you're allowed to run amuck for social justice.
why because its the usa the home of the stupid and the corrupt
QUALIFIED IMMUNITY the Police can do anything they Like and they dont get Sued
AMERICANS want Better Policing
Remove QUALIFIED IMMUNITY and get Police to take out their own Insurance No Insurance No Job the Insurance Companies will remove Bad and Rotten Cops
It appeared in the video from bodycams, that Adam had no gun in hand when he raised them and turned as ordered, and was immediately shot in the chest by police. Maybe police in pursuit WANT to see a gun so badly that they create that image in their minds in spite of no gun being in possession of their "quarry".
He was killed because he was a 13 year old kid, carrying a REAL GUN; with bullets, obviously acquired from yet another "responsible gun owner" who allowed a 13 yeard old KID, access to his GUN and AMMO. and then allowed him to run a round at 2:30 in the morning, terrorizing people, shooting the gun off.
If the kid had killed 5 or 6 people FIRST, would that have made the police shooting MORE justified for you.
The kid is armed......the cop has no idea how many bullets he has left.....he chases him down a dark alley and tells him to stop.
The kid turns around towards the officer.....you got 0.005 seconds to decide whether the kid is gonna shoot or not.
The kid could have put his hands up with his back to the officer........he could have kneeled with his hands out.
an armed kid, turned to face the officer......wrong move sport.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
The kid made the mistake of facing off with the cop. He should have shown his hands by raising them, as he did, but with his back to the cop. At least there would've been a little less chance of being shot, by either.
參考: Cops don't typically shoot people in the back, especially children, but it is not unheard of.
Im guessing it has a lot to do with stress and anxiety of being a cop, combined with almost no lighting at the scene, and the kid's silhouette looked like he could be anywhere 12-18 years old. The cop knew he had a gun, but may not have known he tossed it and was worried about getting shot himself so the cop didn't take any chances. It is unfortunate he was so young, I work with kids as young as 10 who have stolen cars because their only support system was a gang and their parents are dead beat addicts.
I realize it's a terrible, unfortunate thing to have your child shot, but I'm also certain that none of my children at 13 (or any age) were out carrying a gun and running from the police. This has nothing to do with being privileged, nor do I know the family's circumstances, but good grief at what point are parents responsible?
The media is diabolical. They show snippets of what whent down , I want the full detail before I can judge
'Mentally challenged' unarmed suspects may NOT understand 'police commands!' This should NOT give the police the right to use 'deadly force' just because a suspect is 'mentally challenged!' Where is the 'proper training' of 'unarmed apprehension' in this 'injustice!?' =<)
參考: 'Truth & justice!' =<)
The pigs are trigger-happy, that's y
If they dug deep enough they could blame you.
Obviously you're an LIAR and an IDIOT you forgot the part of DROP THE GUN which he did NOT comply with ... and everyone can see that as it is still in his hand on the ground
Why was 13 year old Adam Toledo out at 2am with a gun?
He wasn't shot for complying, he was shot because he gave police a reason to think he was armed with a gun.
Why are you telling lies?
Because police brains are backwards? They shout taser taser taser, and shoot a real gun.
Clearly "hands up dont shoot" means "come at me bro lets fight"
He runs into a dark alley at 2am holding a gun.What do you think is going to happen?
These supporters are devils and God will destroy them. Don't even try to get a human ounce of truth from them. Deaths, hate and all forms of evil is their religion. Know that and stay sane.
Tazzer work just as well at stopping gun crazy kids and they don't end up killing (unless they induce a heart attack.)
Perhaps the American Police should just shoot anyone they expect to pull a gun on them, with a TAZZER. Start fining unlicensed gun owners, making them help out on Hospital wards where patience are recovering from gun shot wounds.
Educating your children on what happens when you shoot someone, adults too. Most Americans come across as being thick as pig **** and virtually every gun owner is a potential murderer. People that want guns are barbaric morons.
Why did 13 year old Adams parents let him run around in a crime ridden city at 2:30 a.m. with an armed gang member? It's really sad. Just a kid.
That officer had know idea Adam was anybody 13 and literally had less than a second to decide whether Adam had dropped the automatic weapon in his hand or was turning around to use it. He responded to a shooting and chased an armed suspect.
How would you have reacted? Maybe have called a mental health worker?
97 Police officers killed this year alone to date. Ever wonder why you don't hear or know much about that?
864 people shot or killed In Chicago this year alone and 12 just today. Compare that to when Trump was in office. 4 1/2 months of Biden and the hits just keep coming. But it's the police and White males causing the problem?
Cops no longer wait to talk to suspects and shoot. What would you do if that were you?
toy guns and replica guns, airsoft as well should be outlawed. NO RIGHT exists to raise children with gunz as an inevitable part of their future. outlaw scenes depicting guns, gunfights, etc. sick idea of entertainment. down-thumb this, but I know it is better to allow 13 y.o. to be gunned down.
Police Immunity must be removed Force the Police to take out their own Insurance
and then make it part of being a Police man No Insurance No Job
so when the Insurance Refuse to cover any employee as a High Risk they Lose their Job
this makes the Police person Police themselves
they will ask is this Legal until this happens they dont care
Remember the Police do carry throwdowns Guns taken from Criminals with no link to any Policeman then used to get a conviction
Elvis was singing about exactly this situation in 1969. Nothing has changed since.
In general, I rarely see hands up don't shoot being displayed.
Because he refused to comply with police instructions the first dozen or so times they were issued leading the officer to expect he would never comply. He only complied when escape was no longer possible and his life was in jeopardy if he continued to possess the firearm found. He waited too long to make an intelligent decision.
His FEETS failed to get him away...Why are you fools running...
Interesting question. Here's another one. Why was a 13 year old carrying a handgun? And one more....what's with the parents of a 13 year old who has a gun? Something wrong there? And the courts will determine the facts about where the gun was when the shot happened, but one more question...what would you be feeling when a kid pulled a gun on you? So stop getting all nuts about cops when a criminal, young or not, puts them in this position.
He was a valid threat to the police and he was behaving in a bad manner.
Perhaps the 13 year old should not have been out that late at night and perhaps he shouldn't have had an airsoft gun (which, by the way, is not a lethal weapon) but he did not deserve to be killed and it makes me sick to hear there are actually people out there who think he deserved what happened to him.
They saw he had a gun. he whipped around and threw his hands up. They didn't see that he ditched it just a few seconds before he did that.
Because when the kid turned around with his empty hands in the air, the cop saw that the kid was colored, so he wasted the kid, if the kid was white he would of taken the kid to McDonald's.
He had a gun in his possession and the Officer on had split seconds to decide whether to draw and shoot or possibly be killed. It was a good shoot. Age has little to do with a matter when the perp has control of a weapon
Hydrogen peroxide H2O2 kills nanoworms inside facemasks. The elite is faking that they took the real vaccine; the real vaccine will cause spiritual and physical damage. When will the official churches start praying for the false prophet? Orthodox Christian three hand signs are different than Buddhist mudras. Ecumenism = 263 heresies; each heresy leads to hell. Orthodoxy = the only true faith; Roman Catholics tried one cup - one spoon ritual and got sick with Bubonic plague; if heresy enters Orthodox monastery then monks/nuns will get sick with flu/tuberculosis (for instance); Orthodox churches who closed for COVID or had disposable cups/spoons or dipped spoon into alcohol are no longer brides of Christ (now they serve Satan and honor Satan's new COVID religion). Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good. SSN is written as a barcode/QRcode; then it's put into a chip; chip is put into vaccine; chipped people are influenced (by super computers) to receive grey plastic card World Passport with no name on it (but when they stretch their hands to get it, gov't clerk presses secret button to administer the unforgivable green 666 tattoo by isotope rays). If you reject mark of the beast (by hiding within a 10-15 people group according to saints Gabriel Urgebadze and Seraphim of Sarov), then your direct ancestors go to heaven (according to saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov from Ural). First vaccine shuts off your immune system; second vaccine gives you diseases; third vaccine puts your immune system back and it will start fighting the diseases and will cause death. Saint Paisios from Mount Athos said that the devil wants to deceive the rich with freemasonry, poor with communism, and believers with ecumenism. Elpidios Vagianakis said that there will be seven “mark of the beast” vaccines; reject all of them! Documents are from Satan; burn all the documents that you can find. Electronics will be used to track you. Even old broken unplugged 1970 TV set will show the evil flying antichrist using Tesla's ether. Don’t go into UFO to be “healed” by evil demons; demons never do good; always pray the Jesus prayer or to saints who help right away (like saint Vyacheslav Krasheninnikov according to whom if you reject mark of the beast, then your direct ancestors go to heaven); forgive me.
參考: Money will be electronic. Gov't will say someone lost their card or it was stolen; now, they have "solution" aka "mark of the beast system"... because no one will steal your hand/forehead. Remember Book of Revelation says: mark of the beast = permanent hell; forgive me.
It was the liberal lies that killed him, and liberals know it. That's why they are thinking up more ways to destroy young lives.
He was out past his bedtime.
He was asked multiple times while running and didn't do so. There was less than a second between the time when he was turning around and putting his and dropped the gun. Cops aren't psychic and aren't able to predict. This kid shot 6 times at 2am in the morning.
I am for some reforms. Some of the high profile incidents were police fault. But I'm sick and tired of it always being the cops fault. Today in Portland several calls were made to police about a guy with a gun who ended up being shot. Immediately after a protest started and they tried to disrupt the crime scene.
If it's always going to be the cops fault you will never get the support of the other side.
An airsoft pistol is a BB gun...a toy. He probably has to "say" "Bang Bang". When he pretends to shoot in the dark.
. what I wonder about is the cops gun training. I thought they were suppose to wound the suspect first.? That is why they have a firing range.
You mean to say T V is FAKE?
The order before he was shot was to "show me your hands". He had a gun and turned toward the officer without raising his hands and the officer did not know he had tossed the gun so the officer shot first rather than chance being shot himself. The question that comes to my mind is why the parents let a 13 year old out at 2:30 in the morning unsupervised in the company of older kids who had guns? To the people below who commented about carrying an Airsoft gun, if you watched the video, including the 8 shots fired randomly before the police arrived, you would know it was a real handgun. Watch the video link Steel Rain posted below.
I guess that the boy didn't know that being a gangster wannabe and running from the police while carrying a gun is like asking to be killed. So they did.
This is the worst case I’ve ever seen been caught on film.
Stop listening to the media. They are playing you and adding fuel to the fire. They know how to manipulate dumb ignorant people. Its easy for them since they are billion dollar companies who are masters of psychology.
Hehe because of beautiful weather channel YouTube videos aol have ever been to moderate
Honestly your BLM movement will be the down fall of America. Coming out of WW2 USA was the strongest power in the world.. now look at you guys. Ya’ll are falling and it’s sad to see.
Where are Mom and Dad? As " they" use to say, " Do you know where your kid is?"
Well, he did move really fast. The cop reacted and was apparently wrong, but just like dealing with a hive of bees, it is wise to avoid sudden movements when dealing with cops. Startling an armed man pointing a gun at you is not safe, especially when he thinks you are holding a gun.
Not defending what happened, but I am saying that there is no total innocence on the part of the poor kid who got shot. He chose the wrong time to be jumpy. Not something that ought to be a death sentence, but that is what happened. Life is not always fair.
You say the video? No, you did not. He tried to hide a gun behind him. He did not comply. How many others has he killed? He was going to kill the cop.
He was brown. Same as why immigrants are treated like second class citizens at the birder. They get killed daily from the white owned border patrol.
He followed them about 10 seconds too late. But be honest, Cory, if you were the cop you'd have shot him from behind the door of your cruiser.
參考: [n] = 10ⁿ
Because no he didn't, and because "hands up don't shoot" didn't even happen in that state. It happened in Missouri, at the same location where the DNA of the 'victim' was found on the cop's gun. I'd like to say nice try but... no, that attempt sucked.
Here's the deal: When cops are responding to a report of shots fired, they're in high adrenaline mode. When cops say stop, don't keep running. When they say show me your hands, they don't mean reach into your hoodie first.
Anyone who doesn't understand those basic facts is just begging to be shot.
The officer wasn’t processing the scene correctly. It’s almost certain he didn’t know the kid had dropped the gun because the kid never communicated that he had. His body language didn’t look threatening, but from the body cam footage, you never see his right hand until he was in the process of raising it. The smart thing would have been to announce that he had dropped the gun and/or at least put his hand up against the fence while still facing away from the officer so it was clear there was no threat, but he was young and probably panicked and the officer didn’t take chances.
White cops with black Glocks.
Cuz he out f*ckin around and got caught up in a bad situation. Lesson - DONT F*CK AROUND. Your life is not worth it.
YA gotta love the libTURDS spin on this.....
1 despite the lame stream media calling it an air-soft gun at first it was a 9mm
2 The "youth" wa a member of the Latin Kings
3 His street name was little Homicide
4 The video shows the gun in his hand when he tried to get thru the fence
5 The officer could not see his hand on the other side where he threw the gun down as it was now empty
6 He turned fast as was bringing his hands up
7 Police do not have to wait to be shot at
8 What was this CHILD doing out SHOOTING at others as he was that nicht
JUSTIFIED SHOOTING BY LE
dont know , ask the police who shot him , thats the most obvious answer .Or dont you trust the law as you steal from some one !!!
Well if he's one of those jackasses who thinks he's Hispanic and talks with a Latin English accent even though his last name is ******* Jewish then no I don't feel sympathy. The average Spaniard isn't making this into a racial thing. Now how this been Miguel Delgado or Sylvio Pacino then it'd be a racial thing.
First time I have heard/read of a LATINO getting killed by cops and it made news. The cops were probably racist.
