And like so many people in this post have said I would want the cops to be braver, use a taser, and all the other things that would have spared this child life.

But I also don't think I have an expectation that the police would do any of those things if my child was in the act of trying to kill someone.

If this were my child I would be thinking I f*cked up LONG before it got to this point. I would be struggling with why was my child trying to kill someone just as much as why did the police shoot my kid while trying to kill someone.

And That's not saying the kid deserved to get shot.

Some of yall see this as black and white and its an easy situation to figure out but some of us are struggling with at what point is it okay to use lethal force on someone (even a kid) trying to kill someone else.
