Report: Chicago police shoot teen 16 times[W:158]

Re: Report: Chicago police shoot teen 16 times

I`d strangle a person who slashes the tires of my car with his own guts.



But I would like the police to handle such a situation in a more civilised manner if possible.
 
Re: Report: Chicago police shoot teen 16 times

He was first shot in the chest and then shot fifteen more times after He moved towards the cops. seems reasonable.
 
Re: Report: Chicago police shoot teen 16 times

Seems like he had a knife, didn't comply, and even after being shot once was still aggressive towards cops.

Too bad he probably didn't have a father around to teach him how to behave.

Report: Chicago Police shoot teen 16 times | Chicago He allegedly had a knife and was slashing car tires, when confronted, the teen approached officers with the knife and did not comply with the officers orders. Overkill? Or were the cops putting down a T1000?

Fixed your post. Apparently the officer(s) fired once, hitting him in the chest, then waited to see what was going to happen, before shooting again?!?! From my experience, when you are justified to shoot, you put two in the heart and one in the head.
 
Re: Report: Chicago police shoot teen 16 times

Multiple cops each firing... :shrug:

Just by the numbers of bullets in the kid it sounds like overkill but it's difficult to know without actually being there or seeing video. Frankly, I'm on the fence about this one - it could go either way.

Racist much?

Shot 16 times really? Don't think they could've possibly maybe have subdued the kid after the sixth or seventh shot? He was shot in every part of his body except the groin. It doesn't strike you was a bit overkill there? He was shot him twice in the back. Was the kid Tony Montana at the end of Scarface or something?

Once shots are fired its shoot till the threat is stopped. The fact that he didn't stop after the first one tells me he wasn't going to stop easily.
Stop being emotional and learn how these things work.
 
Re: Report: Chicago police shoot teen 16 times

He was shot twice in the back! You shoot somebody in the chest I doubt they're that much of a threat. Shoot two more times , there's no way, 16 times is overkill.
 
Re: Report: Chicago police shoot teen 16 times

What that I said could possibly be considered racist?
Dont know basic facts much? Most felons dont dont have positive role models. :2wave:

You went right to "must be a black kid with no father" without any facts
 
Re: Report: Chicago police shoot teen 16 times

16 times? I wonder how many were after he was down.
 
Re: Report: Chicago police shoot teen 16 times

Ole Rahm isn't going to allow the dash cam video to be released until after the election, ****ing politicians.

Is this kid black? Where did I say that?

Edit-except for you, nobody in this thread, nor in the article mentions this kids race-so do tell.

I think a number of those shots were due to being overcharged with adrenaline in the officers. But in training they must be taught to cease fire once the individual is neutralized as you always want to minimize the numbers of shots in a public place to avoid any collateral damage.

You're the one making assumptions.
 
Re: Report: Chicago police shoot teen 16 times

Didn't this kid have the right to be armed?
 
Re: Report: Chicago police shoot teen 16 times

You're the one making assumptions.

YOU said I made a racist comment. Sounds like an assumption-particularly ironic in a thread and from an article where race is not mentioned even once.

So do tell-how was what I said racist?
 
Re: Report: Chicago police shoot teen 16 times

well what we do know is that those who think only cops should have legal firearms might have to rethink their position. Oh BTW anyone who thinks cops are expert shooters ought to review this matter
 
Re: Report: Chicago police shoot teen 16 times

What is your Law enforcement training?
I'd bet two of my guitars that this 17-year-old kid was not a threat after the third shot hit him. The kid wasn't Babyface Nelson
