So.....
.....Adam Toledo had a firearm and it was located near his body. Freeze frames of the BWC show it in his hand, but it didn't catch the toss. As Toledo began to raise up his hands, he simultaneously tossed the gun.....but the officer fired a single round. The officer didn't see the toss and the BWC didn't catch the toss. That's how quickly it occurred.
The community won't ask the real questions: - Where were his parents?
- Why is a 13 year old out at 0200?
- Where/how did he obtain the firearm?
- What/who was he shooting at that prompted the 911 call and subsequent police response?
- Why didn't he just comply rather than prompt a foot pursuit?
The media and the community will make this all about race (... which it isn't) while ignoring every component of the circumstances that led up to the police contact. |
And around and around it goes. Play safe out there brother. |
I swear man, I hope I never kill anybody in the line of duty. I've been close; 4 times last year alone. Every time I feel relieved that the person(s) complied. If I ever end up on the news/on trial, just know that I tried.
