        @CaptainCanuck0 @jonrohnson @BBCBreaking cops job isn't to execute civilians. One bullet in the leg would have subdued the kid.

        @jonrohnson @BBCBreaking in my opinion this cop was a scared and trigger happy and maybe worse than that. There's no justifying what he did

        @DirsaMike @jonrohnson @BBCBreaking Fairly simple concept, follow the law, don't attack people, you won't get shot. Not that hard.
