An armed 12-year-old boy was killed by a Philadelphia Police Officer on March 1 after he opened fire at Police. The Officer who fired the fatal shop has been placed on a 30-day suspension and will be fired.
While the death of a child is tragic, it is farm from just to fire an Officer who made the heart wrenching decision to defend themselves from mortal danger.
In fact, one could argue that it was the Officer's sworn duty to end the threat. If someone is willing to open fire at Police, who else are they willing to attack?
The incident occurred while several Officers were conducting surveillance in an unmarked vehicle. The Officers spotted two teens riding bicycles and recognized that one of them was wanted for questioning in regards to a firearm violation.
The Officers activated the Police lights on their vehicle and attempted to make contact. At this time, the younger of the two kids pulled out a stolen handgun and opened fire on the Officers, nearly killing one of them.
“This kid fires a shot right into the rear passenger’s side window,... We’re really lucky we don’t have an officer seriously injured and killed right now because the bullet went right through that window and embedded itself into the driver’s side headrest.”
PPD Sergeant Eric Gripp
Several of the Officers in the vehicle returned fire, ultimately killing the younger boy. The older kid has been apprehended without injuries.
Unfortunately, the Officer involved has no support from the department or the city. It seems to be a case where the Officer will be railroaded in the name of social justice.
How is this going to impact recruiting? How many Officers are going to leave in disgust? This sets a really bad precedent and will dictate how Officers react going forward.
Let us know what YOU think in the comments below.
They won't have to defund the police now, they'll all just say bye. No police, no need for funds.
globalist puppet, demonrat criminal party does not want any officers arresting or defending themself from their imbred demonrat cirminal voters .
The officer was protecting himself and his fellow officers. What did they want him to do? Stand there and get killed. This officer should not be fired. He was only doing what he had been trained to do.
I agree with you. A 12 year old knows that that was no tou. At 12 he knew better. I support the officer. The dept. he serves should be ashamed that they are not backing him. How long before we hear his mama crying stating he was such a good boy. Just erase he shot into a police car trying to kill a police officer. It is time to stop this craziness and tell them their son did something stupid and ended up being killed to stop him.
WHAT IS A 12 YEAR OLD DOING WITH A GUN AND WHAT IS HE DOING ON THE STREET HE SHOULD BE HOME WITH HIS PARENTS THAT OFFICER IS NOT GUILTY. If kids are allowed to do this and get away with it there will be way too many murders
PRODUCT OF THE D E M O N C R A T CONTROL OF THE POOR CONTROL THE DEGINERATE HAIL THAT POLICE OFFERICER I PERSONALLY HOPE HE SUE THE DEPARTMENT THE CITY AND STATE GOOD LUCK TO HIM MAY GOD ALMIGHTY KEEP THE POLICE FORCE SAFE
How doyou know he would have PARENTS at home? Be better off?
Another demonrat rat raised child being a demonrat while his demonrat father is probably in prison and his demonrat mother is probably at a crack bar .
You are 100% right with your summation, further more, if the police department higher ups get by with this treatment of their officers, It won't be long before the Liberal Left will be recruiting 12 year olds to take down any officer they don't want standing in their way of underhanded slimey tricks. The kid knew what he was up against when he stole the weapon and shot at the officers. It will be interesting to see what the rest of the story spells out.
Totally agree with you regarding officers right to defend his own life!
These kids are DELIBERATELY being used by the cartel and too often by their own PARENTS as a legal loophole sheild! Any twelve year old who steals a gun knows what it is, knows it's lethal potential, and who actually SHOT it at anyone should be dealt with as a criminal in training. I call them here
C.I.T.'s. They should be tried as an adult imo, because of the seriousness of the crime they willfully committed.
a 12 yr old knows right from wrong, he knew he was going to get his tail shot if he shot a police officer/ hell, don't try and blame an officer for saving his own life;; until all these heathens with stolen guns are mADE TO TAKE ACCOUNT FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS,the police will have to continue shooting them, maybe in time enough will get the message,{u don't break in cars, steal folks shit and then try and shoot a cop with out getting yur ass shot
globalist puppet, imbred demonrat criminal voters with their illegal guns always want to take our legal guns so that we can't defend ourself and our family from globalists and their globalist puppets; $oro$ and demonrats and rinos and imbred demonrat criminal voters .
And worse ywr, she'll sue the officer and the department and get an undeserved huge payday.
So true.
The officer deserves an award, one less imbred demonrat criminal voter on the street but he will still vote for the next century or until Judicial Watch needs to waste their money to clean up the globalist puppet, demonrat criminal party voter list .
The officer should sue and get the union to pay for his attorney.
The union should be all over this and standing up for the officer. They should be the ones pushing the law suit on behalf of him and all the other officers. Actually he should be given an award for saving society from one that was no doubt headed for career criminal status. Those demanding his termination would have done the same thing if it had been them being shot at. I used to enjoy going to Philadelphia with all it had to offer but no more. The city is overrun with nothing but society "takers" emboldened by a dysfunctional government rendered useless by their far left policies.
I can, honestly, say that I KNOW how the officer feels. Being "railroaded" is no fun. I KNOW this, personally since, in February, 1986, I, too, was "railroaded", in my case, by State Farm Insurance. They wanted an easy "scape-goat" for a multi-vehicle impact and, since I was FOUND, at the scene, State Farm said "You are Guilty because you were FOUND at the scene."
This is the way it will play out, for the officer. They will be told "If you had NOT returned fire, the child would be alive." In the coming days, the subject that the child opened fire, FIRST, will be omitted, just like it was when the so-called subway "vigilante" shot multiple Negro attackers, while they were trying to rob him. The innocent are prosecuted, to protect the guilty.
MY HERO,,BERNARD GOETZ,,,,,,OR ARE YOU REFERRING TO ANOTHER VIGILANTE,?
This is ridiculous! The defund police message, and the firing of police officers who return fire after being fired upon is sending a clear message to criminals, that they can do as they wish, and they will not be held accountable! I guarantee if one of these social justice warriors lost a family member to a violent teenager, they would be screaming for justice!
This is the worst case I’ve heard of. That officer was acting in self defense and saving the lives of his fellow officers.
If he is fired, all the officers need to resign and move to Florida where they WANT THEM!!!!!!
I AGREE WITH YOU #100% GOOD LUCK TO EACH OFFERICERS PROTECT YOUR SELVES
PROBLEM IS --WE ALL CAN'T MOVE TO FLORIDA,,,,SOMETHING SERIOUS NEEDS TO START HAPPENING TO TURN THIS TRIANWRECK AROUND,,,,,,BEFORE WE END UP IN A PLACE LIKE HAVANNA...
For starters STOP voting for democrats . For those who are too stupid to recognize the fact that the old Democrat party does not exist wake up and stop supporting the "D" label. As much as I despise Pelosi, I have to admit she was correct when she stated "They would vote for a glass of water if you put a D by it ". In case you are too mentally challenged to grasp what she was saying........She is stating the reality of how utterly stupid they think rabid partisan voters really are. She is also signaling they can do anything with total impunity.
It is demonrat run/ruined philadelphia, FL does not need any imbred demonrats to take their imbred demonrats to FL .
THEY Need to start also holding parents responsible. I was HOME at age 12!!
Back in the 40s and 50s parents had the right to discipline their children. Then along came Doctor Spock and others like him and parents started losing their rights way back then. My parents were strict - very strict! With the attitude of the people of today, they would be called child abusers because we got our whippings when we were bad. And yet we all turned out OK.
WE HAVE COMMUNISTS RUNNING TOO MUCH OF AMERICA TODAY,,,,AND FROM WHAT I REMEMBER OF THE MANIFESTO,,THE ONE BY MARX,,ONE OF THE BASICS IS SOW DISCORD,,,,,AND IT IS CERTAINLY NOW BEING WELL SOWN ---IN EVERYTHIING--,,,,I STILL HAVE A HARD TIME EXCEPTING THE FACT THAT TODAY WE HAVE THEM IN THE GOV'T,,,,I CAN REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE GOING 9,000 MILES ACROSS AN OCEAN TO SHOOT THEM,,,,WHAT KIND OF LESSON IS THAT,,??
You could not be more right!
My demonrat mother was strict too and she worships god and worships demonrats, god had her beat the crap out of me for stupid crap while she still worships god and his altar boy raping deomrat priests, stupid crap .
Simple Bible truth
Spare the rod, spoil the child
Permissive parenting produced nothing but a couple of generations of ingrates and criminals
Mother raised her other daughter by Spock. She got away with a lot of bad conduct. The only reason she is not worse is my dad was able to curtail a some of the bad instructions. But he had to work so he did not see a lot of what happened.
Spock destroyed a lot of good with his liberalism. In this he was the first to promote politically correct conduct.
GOOD ONE I HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT ALON TIME AGO IN NEW YORK
THATS RIGHT,,,,,BUT INSTEAD ,THE BREEDERS GET A RATE HIKE ON WELFARE BENEFITS
Demoncrats favorite political tactic is to pass bills thousands of pages long within short time frames, sometimes in middle of night, with all kinds of welfare gimmee gimmee gimmee benefits for illegals and Covid crapola so nobody has time to review or protest while they print money and destroy our children's future and out PRESENT.
Elections coming up, time to send them home where they can't destroy America! Vote the Criminals out!
When globalist puppet, demonat CRIMINAL judges don't release their demonrat criminals on 0 bail then globalist puppets; chester biden and harris pay their bail .
So true, so unjustifiable, one way street.
My way or the highway.
Me,me,me syndrome.
Never accountable.
EVERY CRIMINALS MINDSET!
you need to defend yourself
Oh well.....stupid ass punk, what was he thinking with all this fuckn idiots antifa and blm ( Biden lives minors) rioting he thought he was a tough guy, guess but he's dead now stupid dumb ass... I'm a female and I grew up and lived on the streets @ 13 yrs old (1980's) if you are going to roll with the big dogs you better know how to face your actions and consequences.... He was just a wannabe tough guy, not anymore. I back that officer 💯 percent for doing his job.... Fuckn media will come up with some bullshit again....DEFUND THE MEDIA
globalists and their puppets; $oro$ and chester biden and demonrats and rinos and demonrat parents and media can relax the dead demonrat dead criminal will continue to vote early and frequent demonrat for the next century or until Judicial Watch needs to waste their money cleaning the dead people off the demonrat voter list .
It was self defense. It doesn't matter the age of the person who was trying to kill someone. The cop did what he had to do and saved other lives. It is a disgrace to railroad a cop for doing his job!
ALL THE WAY SELF DEFENCE THAT CITY HAVE NO SHAME JUST NEW YORK THE NIGGA IS NO BETTER THAN BABOON BEFORE HIM, ITS AS IF HIS HEAD STUCK UP DEBLASIO B U TT
I WONDER IF THE PEOPLE SAYING FIRE THE COP,,WOULD HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT-- IF THIS POOR VICTIM--,,,HAD BEEN SHOOTING AT THEM,,,??
You know they NEVER hold themselves accountable for their stupid decisions
Criminal mindset
It was a justified shooting ... too bad the child was killed .
It was a justified killing. The 12 yr old wasn’t a ‘child’. He was a perpetrator of evil. Truth hurts; sorry for the family.
the family should not allow a 12 year old to be on the street with a gun wake up . why do we suppose there are so many crimes in this world because assholes are allowing this crap to happen
AT SOME POINT WE AS A SOCIETY WILL HAVE TO DECIDE,,,WHETHER WE WOULD RATHER HAVE A CIVIL SOCIETY,,,OR 100 MILLION ASSHOLES,,,,,,BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE WON'T HAVE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME,,
One less thug to concern ourselves about in the future.
YOU ARE 100 PERCENT CORRECT,,
At least hard working American tax payers will not need to support the demonrat criminal collecting welfare all his life while living in prison on the installment plan .
I DONT NO WAY POSSIBLE JUST AS GUILTY
HARD FOR ME TO GET INSIDE THE HEADS OF THE FAMILY,,,,,BUT IF THEY HAD HELD A TIGHTER REIN ON THIS KID,,,YOU KNOW,,,NO PISTOLA,,NO COP SHOOTIN,,,,NO GANG CRAP,,,MAYBE HE WOULD STILL BE ALIVE,,?
IF his parents weren't abusing drugs and alcohol and collecting welfare all their life, they may have had some time and common sense to teach their demonrat son .
Consider this. Maybe his parents put him up to it? Maybe a neighbor whose an adult? This should be highly investigated until they get to the real monster behind this attempted murder of an officer.
Where were the parents? Why was he carrying a gun at his age if he wasn't trained to use one with responsibility (not a revolver, but a hunting rifle) I blame the parents because they paid attention to "it takes a village to raise a child" Clinton and others like her who started taking the parents rights away from them. But parents are awake now - and taking back their rights.
YOU HAVE JUST SHARED A MOUTHFULL,,,,,,I CONSIDER THE OLD AMERICA AS A PLACE THAT WAS BEFORE THE CLINTONS,,,,,AND AS YOU MIGHT WELL GUESS,,,I CONSIDER WHAT WE HAVE NOW,,,AS AFTER THE CLINTONS,,,,,,VOTE TRUMP ,,,,,
Probably selling drugs or using drugs or in prison or committing crimes all all demonrat criminal voters do, just being demonrat criminal voters .
GEORGE SOROS CROONY DA
WE SHOULD WIRE OLD GEORGE TO AN ICBM AND SEND HIM BACK TO THE MOTHERLAND,,,,OR THE ROCK HE CRAWLED OUT FROM UNDER,,,,,,,
I AGREE,,,,BUT AT LEAST HE WOULD BE A REPEAT OFFENDER,,
if the demonrat criminal was not killed this time he would kill some innocent people next time .
What is sadder is who are the miserable ADULTS behind his actions? They are who need to be rooted out and dealt with.
They are the SCUM who influenced and USED him to do this!
It's another incident that means police have to one to have their backs. Guess if he died they would give a medal. The kids have no one at home to give guidance. The libs have destroyed families.
Agreed. We continue to do our children a dis-service. At 12 years of age, this person shouldn’t have access to a lethal weapon nor know how to use it. The ‘woke’ world is killing innocence. FJBLGBPOSPOTUS
THE OFFICER WAS RIGHT TO DEFEND HIMSELF.AT THE AGE OF 12 THE KID KNEW BETTER,THE COP MAY HAVE SAVED UP TO A CROWD KILLER LATER ON. I GREW UP ON A FARM & HAD TO BRING DOWN A BIRD ON THE WING FOR FOOD BY THEM. I CAN REMEMBER BEING AFRAID OFGETTING ARRESTED FOR WRONG DOING. NOW PEOPLE CAN ROB OR STEAL & THE POOR VICTIM IS BLAMED.!!!!!!!!!!!!!SUPPORT THE POLICE WHO PROTECT US.
The 12 year old criminal will not injure/kill anyone else! That is a positive thing. The parent(s) should be thrown in jail especially if they allowed him acess to the weapon.
The police officer(s) is the victim here. He was doing his job which is/was a difficult one.
This is absolutely a direct result of democraps preaching “defund the police” and allowing crimes agaist police officers to be accepable behavior.
God Bless the police and the military that protect us.
RESPECT
You made the point better than I did. Thank you.
Shameful that this officer isn't highly regarded for his service to the community. His life and other officers' lives matter greatly.
ONLY THE TERRORIST BLK MATTER GOOD SHOT BY THE OFFICER GOOD LUCK TO HIM
on the grounds of 'law' the officer was doing his sworn duty. how else do you keep the peace?? we cannot change the law for 'child soldiers' in this country. can we? or will we become a third world nation and let children have firearms?? well???
and i do so hope he mounts a large maybe even 'class action' lawsuit over this that all can sign onto.
THATS WHAT I SAY
Freaking insanity !!!! Age makes no difference, when you're being shot at !!!! His bullets aren't less deadly because of his age !!!!!! WTH, was he doing with a stolen gun and where in the HELL are his parents ???? Lack of parenting is the issue at hand !!!!
Today's kids are running amuk without anyone giving a DAMN !!!!!!
There were times when a 12 year old was not necessarily a child
Apparently even 12 year old children become angry after years of globalists and their puppets; $oro$ and demonrats and rinos and media and teachers and parents ordering them to "imagine" they are not the gender they are born and they must "imagine" they are 1,000 different gender unicorns etc .
Where are the parents of this 12 year old who has a loaded gun and who was driving the car? Sick government all over our world!! Stick with our constitutional rights!! BE DEFIANT FOR FREEDOM!
teens riding bicycles and recognized that one of them was wanted for questioning in regards to a firearm violation. The teen was riding a bicycle, not driving.
Either smoking crack or selling crack or getting drunk or in prison or at a chester biden rally in a janitor closet, like all demonrat voters do .
Sharon
This is so disgusting!! Based on the information provided here, I think it is wrong that they are terminating this police officer for self-defense! I realize there may be more to the story than what we're being told but this looks very wrong to me!!
I’m a retired police, I was on the force for 32 years, 30 years as a motorcycle officer. A young person will hurt you faster than an older person because they don’t understand the consequences of their actions. This is what the mother and father must teach them, so if you don’t have a father that isn’t around to teach you, this is what happens. More and more people that would make good police officers aren’t joining the force just because of what happened here. A police is damned if he does and damned if he don’t. People need to get behind the police and have their back, because it’s you and yours their protecting.
Thank you for your service and for the family you have that stood up with you and supported you.
law enforcement must be criminal if they still vote demonrat criminal party .
His demonrat voter parents were raising him to be a criminal and at least they raised him so he won't need to spend all his like in prison now . . . . .
At age 13 I had my own guns and had a Sharp shooters medal. So age should not be a factor when a police officer defends ones self. If the officer did not return fire they would most likely have been killed.
As youngsters we had to learn how to handle guns and bring home small game (rabbits, squirrels or whatever) for the table. My youngest brother was about 8 when he brought home more rabbits than our big brother. He was some proud of that feat. We'd also get a fierce reprimand my father and mother if we did not take care of our weapon by cleaning it and storing it right. Kids today do not know the responsibility of having a gun.
The officer was right to fire back. Should he have waited? No he could have been killed. Hopefully he won't be fired. It is already hard to get police officers, now you want them to not protect each other.. What kind of world are we living in? What was a 12 year old doing with a gun. Get the parents.
imbred demonrats only go after gun manufacturers not the imbred demonrat voters who kill people with guns .
Stop this insanity from continuing. A bullet whether fired at the police or anyone else can kill. Dead is dead. The 12 yr old was ‘street wise’ and knew having a gun was a lethal step. Sorry for the family but not for the kid.
I feel sorry for the kid in the fact that his parents did not care enough to teach him right from wrong and basically let the kid follow the wrong path in his short life. Because of this, he lost his life at a very early age for not being taught trained by his parents what respect and responsibility mean.. And yet, some are saying - you cannot blame the parents??
Blame the gun manufacturer for his democrat voter parents giving him an illegal gun and committing crimes and getting shot .
He is as dead as demonrat voters with a demonrat voter non mentality, they are brain dead .
This is obscene. The cop shouldn't be punished at all for protecting himself. It was an open and shut self defense case and the cop did nothing wrong. Of course when we hear from the parents, their little angel would never do anything like that and the cops simply used him as target practice.
I wonder what we would find if an investigation into the parents lifestyle would expose to the public! This kid had no business being on the streets with a gun and shooting at cops
OMG! If you want to charge someone with a crime, charge the parents and the boy with the one who opened fire on police officers.
If someone fires on me, I have the right to defend myself. How is that different for police officers?
This has to STOP! DEFEND OUR POLICE !!!
THANK YOU
I AGREE,,,,BUT SELF DEFENSE AIN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE,,,THE BLEEDING HEARTS WOULD RATHER YOU DIED,,,NOT THE POOR PERPS,,,HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THAT GOV'T SPONSERED TRAVESTY CALLED THE TRIAL OF KYLE RITTENHOUSE,,,,AND 99 PERCENT OF US WON'T BE SO LUCKY TO HAVING BEEN FILMED IN 20 DIFFERENT ANGLES AS THE PERPS WERE IN THE PROCESS OF ATTEMPTED MURDER,,,,,,,DEFEND THE COPS AND GIVE THEM A RAISE TOO,,
They should go after Biden and that worthless pile of shit he has working with him and the parents should be second in line.
DONT FORGET THE SLIME BLOB IN BROOKLYN NEW YORK GEORGE SHITHEAD SOROS THE DUMB D A IN HE PAY THE CITY FOR
''CAREFUL NOW'' YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT CLINTON FAMILY MEMBERS,,,
Just another step in gaining complete control of the people. Absolutely pathetic they we have to protect such vial humans that would punish a man for following his training and department policy. Now, had this happened to a car carrying one of the evil assholes that want him prosecuted they would deem him a hero for saving one of the chosen saints. This hypocrisy will only get worse until we can take our country back from this idiotic woke bullshit.
My opinion tells these morons that "we the people" will gladly buy you a one way ticket to a socialist country of your choice since that's where you want to live. Hell, we'll even make sure that your first weeks worth of food is ready for you, but after that you can go stand in line for a damn loaf of bread.
HELLO ALBERT,,,,I AGREE,,I'M WITH YOU ON ALL POINTS CEPT 1....THAT BEING,,THESE COMMIE DUDES DON'T WANT A TICKET TO ANYWHERE,,,,,THEY WANT OUR COUNTRY TO GO COMMIE,,,THEREIN LIES THE RUB,,,SOMEBODY IS GOING TO LOSE,,AND IF I HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT,,,,,,THEY'LL LOSE,,BUT THEY HAVE 2 CHOICES,,,,TO LEAVE WOULD BE THE BEST FOR ALL CONCERNED,,THE OTHER WILL BE A PLOT OF NICE GROUND,, THESE TWO IDEOLOGY'S WILL NOT CO-EXIST HARMONIOUSLY FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME,,,THATS A CERTAINTY,,
The officer should not be punished
I agree with Carol T
Sadly if we knew all the facts there is a high proability that the father is missing from the young persons life and the mother failed in training this person in what is right and what is wrong where were in grandparents this young was let to run wildly never facing the respondiblity for his action sad that at this age and maturity his decisions held him to this respondiblity
That officer is being railroaded. Aside from protecting himself and other officers, he eliminated a future criminal. Sounds like this one already had a good start.
DOES NOT MATTER IF A CHILD HAS A GUN THEY NEED TO ARREST THE PARENTS, THE OFFICER HAS A RIGHT TO PROTECT THEMSELVES ENOUGH OF THESE DEMOCRATIC LAWS
It would help with the proper words would put in
A kid on a bicycle becomes something else when he pulls a gun. He's no longer a kid! The officer was in self protect mode, protecting himself and others from immanent danger. The cop didn't fire the first shot the bicyclist with the gun did! My heart goes out to the COP, he will suffer from second thoughts for the rest of his life as will his family who stands beside him.
A baby water moccasin is just as deadly as an adult moccasin. A 12 year old can kill you just as quick as an ax murderer. This officer was just doing his job. He should not have been fired or even reprimanded. This "woke" and "defund the police" nonsense is totally out of control.
I think there should be a “DO NOT RESPOND LIST” of those brilliant people who are trying to railroad this officer. Would they have been happier if he and his partner had been killed?
These people make me furious!
We are being watched by other country’s . They will pay attention to this and if it sticks, will probably send 12 yr olds to kill us and it will be our own faults for allowing it to happen
Who ordered the officer to be terminated? That person should be made to ride with officers in patrol cars through the worst neighborhoods of Philthadelphia, beside a window. If they survive they will have a better understanding about what the Officers face. If they do not survive, well, NO GREAT LOSS.
''RIGHT-O-,,,,,,,CAN'T ADD A THING TO THIS,,
the dead perp,must have been a boogaloo !!!!
''WHAT'' IS A BOOGALOO,,?? IS THAT SOME NEW RAP STYLE DANCE.?
The officer was definitely in the right!
How can a cop do the job he is sworn to do if he is going to get fired? The city governments need to get a backbone, forget defund the police movements and let the police hire the number of cops that will be able to provide the protection the community needs. Firing a cop for doing his job is ludicrous, no matter how old the shooter is.
All that police officer had to do, was talk the 12 years old kid down...Maybe, someone gave the kid a gun, and he shoots at the police officer...The kid didn't give the police officer a choice..That is up to the court and the Judge..
This idiocy is totally insane.
I understand his father is in prison and the kid didn't attend school much or not at all.
I am appauled that there is even a the slighest notion that this officer should be terminated from his job. The 0fficer had every right to protect his life.
JOIN THE CLUB,,I THINK HALF OF AMERICA IS APPAULED WITH YOU,,
Was this "kid" black or latino/black? Is his father known? Is his father a criminal?
How far is this going to go before blacks are either made to obey the law or DNA tested and repatriated to the part of africa or origin?
YOU HAVE STRUCK A NERVE WITH THAT ONE,,,,AS ,FOR ME ,,AN OVERWHELMING PERCENTAGE OF THE PEOPLE STARRING ON MY TV AS,THUGS,GANGBANGERS,,CRACKHEADS,,SMASH AND GRAG ARTISTS,,SHOPLIFTING ,,etc,,, ''ARE BLACK'',,,AND THAT SHOULD BE MAKING THE DECENT BLACK PEOPLE MAD AS HELL,,BECAUSE THOSE ARE YOUR PEOPLE,,,,THERE ARE LOADS OF GREAT BLACK PEOPLE DOING GREAT THINGS,,,,BUT THIS CURRENT DEAL DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE A MIDDLE CLASS ANYMORE,,,YOU'RE EITHER A WINNER,,OR A LOSER,,,AND UNFORTUNATELY WAY TOO MANY LOSERS,,,,I KNOW THEY HAVE PROBLEMS,,BUT SO DO I,,,,AND I DON'T GO OUT AND SHOPLIFT BECAUSE I DEMAND EQUITY,,,,A GREAT PLACE TO START TO FIX YOUR LOT IN LIFE WOULD BE TO GET ALL THE BLACK PEOPLE YOU KNOW TO VOTE FOR SOMETHING OR SOME PARTY BESIDE THE ONE { DEMOCRAT} YOU HAVE VOTED FOR ALL YOUR LIFE THAT HASN'T DID ANYTHING FOR YOU EXCEPT A WELFARE TICKET,,,,ONLY A COMPLETE FOOL KEEPS DOING

Killadelphia sucks , the three stooges running the city are a disgrace.
he done the right thing.Im guessing he was black which the media has put them above the law. our law makers need to stop this insanity and get back to what is right. Anybody shoots at me I will shoot back.
If you live by the sword you will surely die b the sword
The Police Commissioner had no business not supporting her officer!! She should not even hold this position she has with her attitude!! She is disgraceful & should go back t her last place of employment,Philadelphia needs a Commissioner who stands behind her police officers. The age made no difference the gun aimed at officers is what counted. Should the Officer have waited to be killed?? We need a NEW MAYOR, A NEW DISTRICT ATTORNEY & POLICE COMMISSIONER, ONES THAT CARE ABOUT VICTIMS, NOT THE PRESENT GROUP WHO CARE ABOUT CRIMINALS! FIRST!!!!
At 12 years old, he’s old enough to know what he was doing. This is a tragedy concerning the boy and the officer involved. This child should never have had possession of a gun to start with. Sad!
Why don't imbred demonrat voters train their demonrat kids to obey the laws and use common sense and courtesy, because their imbred demonrat voter parents didn't teach them any . . . . .
Fortunately for the officer that the imbred demonrat that shot at him was not as efficient as globalist puppet, demonrat baldwin .
The text reads, "Several of the Officers in the vehicle returned fire." Why is the city singling out one officer? They were ALL entitled to defend themselves from a known felon.
The officer did his job, and will nerve forget what happened and will always wonder if he could have done something different. The city officials are wrong in these decisions. They are stupid to think that any LEO would want to hurt a child.
I have watched my own canyon deteriorate horribly with the cartel coming in, buying up as many properties and ranches as they can, as fast as they can.
As a result, the increase in drug trafficking of fentanyl and meth, PLUS even child trafficking began. The cemetery and adjacent canyons have become gang playgrounds, they use the kids on ATVs as drug mules. Long story, but it appears even some of the officers have been bought and paid for by cartel. Corrupt has run rampant in Los Angeles, and illegals are both victims and perpetrators. Money launderers, animal abusers. Child abusers. We have had bombs up at cemetery, pipe bombs in mailboxes, shootings, street racers, fires, deaths from Covid and street racers on drugs. This was a fairly quiet, safe, semi rural agricultural community until the cartel came to grow pot, sell drugs, have illegal rodeos and now it's being destroyed with the judicial system equally corrupted.
The poor police MUST be freed from these half assed "government" restrictions and allowed to initiate the LAWS this country was founded upon. There is no freedom where there is rampant, out of control, Mafia styled over run communities.
Crush the cartel. Crush Communism!
I would bet it was a 12 year old schmigger convict in the making. Even if you kill one cockroach it won't make more cockroaches.
Negoes comprise 12.7% of the population but commit 50% of the murders in the Inited States. It makes sense to me of you start eliminating negroes and you start spaying the females, murders would go down, crime in general would go down, the prisons won't be full, negroes would be under represented in prison and maybe we might start having better music.
Who is making the decision to terminate this police officer? He must be white and the kid black. We are in big trouble in America.
You are correct. Everyone needs to fight for their state, stop running the rats are everywhere do not vote for the party or persons that are trying to destroy our country. We the people who love our country cannot sit back and let evil walk all over us. We need to stop supporting people and companies who pour money into corrupting cities and state’s.
It doesn’t matter how young they are. They are taught to hate officers from a young age. Some by family and some by teaching in school or both. Why should the officer be targeted for taking care of the situation. This young man is not a child. He is. COP KIlLER plain and simple. Since when is anyone suppose to not defend oneself. I say the officer did his duty in shooting him and how many of our police have to be prosecuted for doing their job. Maybe our police need to just walk out for a month and see what happens. But they are bound by their loyalty to serve and protect, even though they get no respect or protection. How many of them have to be murdered? Even one is too many. I don’t feel sorry for any citizen that is murdered when they call for Defund Police, but you do understand that those who are in charge of our government are being protected and we pay for that protection with our taxes. Deal with it you f_ _ _ idiots. Don’t blame the police, it’s your own fault. Rise up and protect yourself. Don’t be idiots.
I’m sure this officer will be haunted by this for the rest of his life. Along with his unlawful termination lawsuit they need to SUE THE KIDS PARENTS
Just not right!
I am so tired of this social justice! So these people would rather have a police officer killed! Just think if he had no problem shooting at the police who would he shoot at and possibly kill! What is wrong with society! At least that's one officer that didn't die and go home to his family! I'm sorry the boy was shot, but he WAS TRYING TO SHOOT THESE MEN! WHAT WERE THEY SUPPOSED TO DO! Think about it!
disgusting and disgusted! how are peace/law officers to act...getting rid of another officer because he prevented deaths and cured mayhem? nope, you guys who are in charge NOT STANDING up for your officers is despicable. tie their hands and what do you get; another town which you will allow to fall to ruin because you won't allow them to keep the peace because your parameters will be oxymoronic and stupid...just don't have police. i sure do see that day coming.
The police did the right thing. It doesn't matter that the boy was 12. He opened fire on the police and one of them almost died. They have families too and need to protect themselves when they are shot at. It's a crime that they would even think of firing this officer.
not only is the child guilty but the parents should be held to the same standard too. consequences for actions.
I am an ex police officer. This is disgusting that the department will not back an officer for self defense. I really hope that the whole department quits. Let the city find out out who keeps them safe. SJW have such an arrogant attitude about not needing police, fine, then they don’t deserve the police. Let the Wild West days return, or Mad Max. Let every man woman and child find for themselves. I am so tired of this liberal leftist agenda, let them have what they want. You will see that the first one to get killed off are these liberal SJW and the rainbow community. I am not wishing it on them but they are the ones that don’t want police and don’t want anyone to have a gun. Now you see why they will die first. Either they are ignorant of how human nature is or they are stupid. The rest of us know that you must be armed to protect yourself and you must respect those that you have chosen to protect you.
The officer had every right to fire back. Kevlar doesn’t protect heads.
