Can we put this into the "media parroting copaganda" category?

The 15 year old Amber Alert victim shot by the police in San Bernadino ("San Berdue" according to Fletch).

Sheriff says she was "involved in the gun battle" and media shares his baseless claim that she shot at the police.

Oh by the way, the only gun recovered from the scene was a rifle that was in the pickup with the father. Moreover, the media even reported the fact that the only gun recovered from the scene was a rifle that was in the pickup with the father. And they still swallowed the story that she was "involved in the gun battle" and parroted the claim that she shot at the police.

But now, in a "stunning twist" to the story, it's likely all ********.

Really? They are just coming around to that?

Everyone who heard the story from the start knew that. Except, apparently, for ABC7.

Of course if you spin it right, an innocent bystander shot by mistake is "involved" with a gun battle.
 
So...

Father is driving, and she is taking pot-shots at the police, using her father's rifle, while the father is driving?

And they're both dressed in tactical gear?

Clearly innocent of all charges then.

Screw that. Arm the kids.

As it is, they just sit around all day leeching off the system. Put those little monsters to work - armed patrols, digging trenches and other fortifications, PE at the rifle range. I mean if you finish fifth grade without a good working knowledge of overlapping fields of fire, the difference between cover and concealment, and light infantry enemy infiltration tactics, then what is the point of even sending them to school? (Maybe save the artillery and armor until middle school).

What a horrible, horrible idea.

It implies that armor and artillery are more complicated. I have been all three…..they are not.

I'm reminded of anime. Middle/High school students with mandatory humanoid mecha training, in particular.
 
Listen, go easy on the kids. They have to use shorter rifles to train and that makes the sight radius awful for a long arm. They're going to have less practical accuracy already.

All this would probably be funnier if, well... we didn't have Republican politicians on record and gun anarchy folk (gun rights has to be a misnomer at that point) supporting arming children as young as 3. Kinder Guardians was a fake program, sure, but they didn't know it when they decided to support it.

Seriously, when we've got people who think that it'd be a great idea to create conscience-less child soldiers wielding real influence when it comes to gun legislation, that's a very bad thing for the US.

Any evidence for this assertion?

That's the only scenario that could make the victim actually guilty and deserving of being killed, so it's all-in I'm afraid.

Unfortunately, when the victim was shot she wasn't in the truck shooting at the police. So even assuming she had been doing it before, there was no reason to shoot her when they did.

I'll defer to your experience. But part of my reasoning was that

1:those shells are too heavy for the average 10 year old girl to lift, and
2: these kids are not old enough to drive yet - can't do the shoot and scoot thing if your feet can't reach the truck's gas pedal....

An LAPD officer who was 'accidentally' beaten to death by fellow officers was investigating a gang rape by four LAPD officers, one of whom was there when he was beaten to death.

Arrest the lot who where there.

Just to avoid the same confusion I experienced. He was beaten to death during a training exercise by these 4 officers, one of whom was under investigation, by him, for gang rape.
 
Cop is called to a McDonalds, happens to see a car he is convinced is one that evaded him the night before. Car tries to run him over, hitting him, so he shoots and critically injures the teen driver.

Gets fired because the body cam shows the cop just walked up the car, opened the door, pointed his gun at the teen driver (who was just sitting there eating a burger) without identifying himself. Ordering the teen out of the car. Car rolls back, he fires at the teen. Teen drives off as the cop keeps firing at the car. No evidence the car ever touched the cop.

Teen is on critical but stable condition, thankfully his girlfriend who was in the car with him was not injured.

Well, he is being charged with assault at least... Oh wait no that's the kid who was shot being charged. Also evading arrest, how dare someone flee for their lives after being shot at for eating a hamburger in their car.
