sure they can. Kids think they are somehow protected by being kids, but they don't understand that their being a kid doesn't protect them from also being stupid. There was a 12 yr old kid gunned down by a cop and that kid was waiving around an airsoft gun with the orange "i'm a toy" parts removed. He was pulling it in and out of his pants "gangster style" and a cop ended up shooting him.
I will agree that most stupid children are to blame on their parents, who let's their kids have toy guns that look like real guns? fucking idiots that's who. Who let's their kids grow up emulating gangbangers and rape culture? oblivious assholes, yup.
But still, being young is no shield against dying tragically due to someone else's misinterpretation of your actions. so... don't do stupid shit. Thanks.

just do it
and don't do some stupid shit like try to wrestle the gun away from him even if your intention is to knock it out of his hand and run.

And why not ask him nicely with words a few more times first? Sometimes things escalate to guns, and that's why you don't fuck with the people we charge with carrying them and making the decision to use them.
the cops aren't just some inherent force of the universe out there shooting up kids, we put them there and ask them to do this shit and then we want to castrate them for doing what we ask? We ask them to put their lives and their families future on the line and you're going to say he's required to use less force than he deems necessary to return home to HIS children that night? Nope. You don't get to make that call for him.
Maybe you think he should "try raising his voice to a loud yell and speak in a stern voice" as a necessary requirement before progressing to phase 8 the statement to the suspect that a non-lethal whistle will be deployed and if he still refuses to comply the whistle will be used.
i mean really, how many things do you think he's gotta try before he can reach for the defensive weapon he believes is required to save his life?
And really, he's a cop, not a fucking criminal murderer. If he thought fucking pepper spray would have stopped him he wouldn't have fucking shot him 6 fucking times.

also, fundamentally blacks are distrustful of police and it shows in their children. When a cop tells a white teen to move along that kid moves along, but when a cop tells a black teen to move along the kid says, "why?" Black kids are taught to be mistrustful of authority and to be argumentative. Cops then are caught instead of enforcing the law attempting to justify it, and standing in the street arguing with someone as to why they are now required to lay on the ground with their hands behind their head is not something cops do. THAT is for lawyers and judges to decide after the fact. What COPS do is put a fist into your gut and force you to the ground or just shoot you if you give them even the slightest reason to think they need to.
What blacks need to do is have a serious dialog with their children about how to properly behave towards authority figures. there is a reason why less white kids get shot by cops than black kids. and it IS behavioral, and it needs to be addressed.
because if this was just all racist cops gunning down black babies then we wouldn't see so many Travon Martins and Michael Browns and Tamir Rice's

Exactly, the cop was tried by the media who just wanted to stir up a race war.
The media also never mentioned in another case that George Zimmerman had a black great grandfather, a black childhood friend and business partner, he did charity work for minority kids, and a quarter of the people in his gated area that Trayvon jumped the fence to were black.

Before video cameras, courts used eyewitnesses exclusively. Terrible!
I was in court once and the other side brought in a witness. The witness lied about what I said to them a long time ago and I corrected it. But then the other side brought the same witness to tell not just the same lie but to embellish it.

No because they were trying to make a political statement. I don't recall any times in the last several decades where white people rioted and then targetted a certain ethnic group to kill. Blacks have always done that with riots. LA riots, London riots, Ferguson riots, etc. White people used to do race riots, called a pogrom.

Protests, outrage, demonstrations, demanding change and wanting the killer to go to trial, when a black kills another black. Only then will white people listen to them, until that happens it's just a reason for blacks to go and loot and burn their own community.

My point is if all black lives mattered and not just those of the likes of Trayvon and Brown because they were shot by whites, then there would be protests and outrage and looting when a black is killed by another black. That doesn't happen, blacks should be outraged by the killing not by who does the killing. More blacks are killed by other blacks than any other race.

Cybercast News Service, by Barbara Hollingsworth
Original Article

Michael Brown had THC, a behavior-altering substance found in marijuana, in his system when he was killed on August 9th by Ferguson, Missouri, police officer Darren Wilson, according to a toxicology report performed at a St. Louis University lab. The toxicology screen, which was done on Aug. 10th, found “12 nanograms/ML of Delta-9-THC”, the primary psychoactive ingredient in pot, in Brown’s bloodstream at the time of his death. This amount of Delta-9-THC in Brown´s blood was more than twice the amount that in Washington State-where marijuana is legal-would allow someone to be arrested for driving under the influence.

Cop did not do such test. He was arrested/detained for the Cigar theft as radioed by police dispatch.
Coroner drew blood and sent off to lab. Do you need a link for that?
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Feb. 1 (UPI) -- A Dutch study on the effects of marijuana use on teenagers suggests a connection with aggressive behavior.
The BBC reports researchers at the Trimbos Institute in the Netherlands found 17 percent of the 5,551 12 to 16-year-olds questioned had used marijuana within the past year. The study found the higher the frequency and amount of marijuana use, the more aggressive behavior the teenager showed.
A recent study by the British Journal of Psychiatry found similar results.
A 2005 report by the Schools Health Education Unit in Britain found 25 percent of 14- and 15-year-olds smoked pot.
Now please look for that Video of Brown in the Liquor store aggressively pushing aside a person as he escapes with his ill gotten loot (Cigars) and this is with all that pot in his blood stream

anyway, bet no one has heard about that.cops killing blacks only matters if the cops aren't found guilty, or, i.e. it only matters if families are told, "um, no, he was actually engaged in violent criminal behavior, he wasn't a "good kid," he got what he deserved."

also the whole idea behind nonviolent protest as advocated by people like Gandhi and Martin Luther King is that you can accomplish more with nonviolent protest than you can with violence. violence gets you nothing but pushback. And, so, when the "authority" uses force to silence you all the pushback knocks them over.
does that make sense? or do you think burning down Mom and Pop small businesses is a better way to handle your problems?

no, actually he was asked to walk on the sidewalk because he was walking in the street. He was shot because he was violently assaulting a police officer who felt his life was being endangered when the dude wrestled for his pistol.
So, he was shot in the street for assault and attempted murder, not for walking in the street
