Police officer involved shooting Will Clayton and Village Towers

AnnaToeMe : We do need to be focused on what his intent may have been taking a gun to a dental appointment.

Jonn :
Have you seen the video Grizzy posted? It's on FB. The cop is frisking the boy, the boy starts runnung and runs across Will Clayton with the cop chasing him, the boy turns to face the cop and reaches into his pocket, the cop then begins shooting. As Grizzy stated, don't run from the police and don't reach for anything.

Kittle :
Yeah you can't reach in your jacket if challenged by the police!

100 credits sent!
Donnawisdom tipped Kittle 100 credits for a post in this forum discussion.

Spork : I agree! The kid should not have run. He's lucky to be alive

Donnawisdom :
Thank you!

Kittle :
My pleasure my friend!

TEXASGIRLMAMMA : Do we need to focus on the intent of people taking a gun to the grocery store, restaurant...

1836 :
At 17 you can't have a gun. But a lot of people do carry everywhere they go.

AnnaToeMe : I stand corrected.

Lets see, being a pilot we use checklists so that we don't miss anything. How about this checkist:
1- Don't carry a concealed weapon when you are not legal to do so.
2- If the police pull you over and ask if you have a weapon on you, tell the truth.
3- If you lie and the police find the weapon you lied about, don't run. Bad **** happens.
4- If you're dumb enough to run, don't reach for the area of your body where the police found the weapon. Because then REALLY bad **** happens.
5- When you do all the above and you absolutely DO get shot, don't blame the police, a bad upbringing, racism, mental illness, addiction, and an assortment of other vacant nonsense excuses. Blame the dumb *** responsible for the mess you're in - YOURSELF!!!!End of the carrying a concealed weapon illegally checklist

1836 : When they have a gun and they run from the cops their intent needs to be known.
