More Mayberry and less Fallujah, tragic and senseless. There were no shots fired no one in danger, they rolled in hot and heavy with the force of action of a SWAT or SEAL team. They gave themselves no time to assess the situation; their primary job is keepers of the peace. Instead they needlessly escalated the encounter.

My take on this with such a young kid, I would rather be shot and killed by a kid than have to live with shooting and killing a kid. I'm not talking about a 15 yo thug, but a 12yo playing in the park, c'mon. IMO this should not have happened.
You put a couple of question marks yet I see no question. You have over 50 posts so your not in a rush for the classifieds. Not real sure what your point is.Mmmmmkay!??

What about a 20yr old? That is what they though he was. It is easy to judge. Everyone is a use of force and tactics expert. I'm glad your 20/20 hindsight vision is better than mine. Thankfully the USSC is smarter than that in their Graham v. Connor decision that our use of force is based on.My take on this with such a young kid, I would rather be shot and killed by a kid than have to live with shooting and killing a kid.

I am not judging anybody nor am I "force and tactics expert". The photo's of this child appear to be photo's of a child. I have children myself, one is a 12yo son. I do not believe for a second that when they saw this kid that they thought he was 20, that is just insane. All I said is I would rather be killed myself than to take the life of a young child. If you do not feel the same way Denny I am glad you are not an officer in my town because my 5yo likes toy guns.What about a 20yr old? That is what they though he was. It is easy to judge.

You officers are so judgmental. Again I simply saying my opinion. Did us silly citizens lose that right and I have just not been made aware. Glad to know all you cops are so gung-ho about shooting kids. Also glad I don't go to Indy much.Well good thing for you the necessity of taking a life to save your own or someone else's will never happen. So you can continue to armchair quarterback and pass judgement on others.
He plays outside with them, yes. Some of them are nerf dart guns that are made to point at people much like air soft guns are, so yes. His babysitters husband is a police officer and they play so once again yes.Do you let your 5 year old point them at strangers and/or the police?
