Do these parents not teach their kids to not point guns at people? Seriously, this is no joking matter.
If you think that's the only issue here you have problems!
@@MrDayday4641 Who the hell is saying that's the only issue? Don't put words in people's mouths.
@@MrDayday4641 he shouldn’t have been running and pointing toy guns at people. I bet he learned his lesson 🤡🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@TimmyTOnTheFly He was 13
@@Summr16 oh well, I bet he learned his lesson and won’t point guns at people again 🤡🤷🏽♂️
Don't point guns at police. Teach your kids
I agree, but acting like that justifies this is moronic, irresponsible, and probably bigoted.
@@MrDayday4641I agree the kid and his parents were moronic and irresponsible couldn't have said it better
@da602krew12 thinking that reply was witty is what's moronic. Nothing in that reply or the original comment justifies shooting a kid that they already have on the ground! It's obvious why you're trying to justify it.
Police lie all the time. Let see the entire video. Cops have fear for their life before they can shoot. Just like everyone else
@@MrDayday4641 he fafo for real 🤣 Mommy and daddy are gonna have to live with their decisions
What was the police officer supposed to do?
Let himself possibly get killed by a poorly raised thirteen year old with no sense.
Apparently, let himself get shot.
samething thing cops in otger thirdwirld countries do, not shoot a kid and stop being fukin coward, if you are coward dont join the force if a childs toy makes u mud pants
the arresting officer trying to not shoot. He risked his own life. He could have shot the teen long before that. He didn’t. The other officer seem to had panicked when he saw/heard “he has a gun” and fired a shot. That itself is actually pretty reckless as his teammates were clearly in line of fire. It’s unclear whether it’s an accidental discharge.
I'm quite sure it wasn't a accident but he shooting so close to his partner was totally reckless
The outrage isn't from anyone who's actually seen the footage. He pointed what appeared to be a real gun at an officer, so the officer reacted to the threat exactly as he should have.
You clearly didn't see the video.
@@MrDayday4641 The body cam footage has already been posted. He very plainly does.
@@jenniferquackenbush7458 I have never seen a more desperate attempt at a straw man argument lol.
@@_ArsNova
You are spot on!! 🎯
That means it’s okay to first pin down than shoot the 13 year old like an execution?
No outrage here, how can you identify a replica gun from a real gun.
Police should sue the parents
You also learn not to point fake guns at cops by the time you're 5 lol, unless you're a low income SPED
Parents should teach their children not to go around pointing fake guns at officers no one is above the law😢🤷🏽
@@uiscrap most of the time you can't!
Was this the stupid gang member who pointed a gun at the police after robbing someone? Charge his parents with neglect.
People are outraged at police?? The real question is, why was this teen carrying a fake gun and pointing it at police officers??
Problems at home I bet.
At night alone on the streets
Yeah, cause if he does that, they have the right to shoot him when they already have him on the ground. Certain people will do anything to justify what happens to other (certain) people. Smdh. No one's acting like what the kid did was right. That doesn't make the shooting justified, 🤡.
@@MrDayday4641 Do you somehow think that being on the ground renders a firearm inoperable? Or do you simply not comprehend the timeline given here? 1. On the ground. 2. Pointed the firearm at the officer. 3. Officer uses lethal force in self-defense. In THAT order.
@@MrDayday4641 Nothing is certain until we see the bodycam. The cellphone video was at a distance. POV will tell more details.
As a retired military cop, my heart goes out to the family who lost the 13-year-old boy! But he pointed what appeared to be a real gun at the officer! The police officer reacted exactly the way his training was intended! He had no other choice.😢
The video did not show anyone pointing a toy gun at the cops. The cops claim a lot of things that end up being false. That doesn't mean it actually happened. I haven't seen a version of this video show anything being pointed.
The kid used his hands to cover his head from being punched. He had a third hand to point a gun at police? There was no gun, only a cell phone.
Ban guns then your kids can play 💁♂️ kids are supposed to be able to do silly things and get away with it. That's what being a kid is. 🫡
@@msas6020True except in this case the footage and screenshots of the gun do exist.
I'm in Boston, where presently they're trying to frame a girlfriend of a Boston cop who was murdered by other cops and an ATF agent. He went to a house party and ended up on the lawn dead . Her name is Karen read and the case is still going on. They confiscated all the ring and video footage in the neighborhood. I don't trust any cops until I see video footage. What I saw is a kid being held down and a cop over him. Is there any body cam footage?
Where was the Outrage when the Retired police officer was murdered by two teens recently?
I saw it everywhere Mr bait.
Where master of the baiters. Ya see if you had a real gf we couldn't call you that.

I can't think of one good reason for a 13 year old boy to be carrying a pellet gun. Pointing it at a cop is just insanely stupid and even a kid of 13 would know that.
@@Rick9482 the child is dead ..how can you even make that comment ..and where is the video he even pointed it .
They had the kid on the ground already. Be honest with yourself about why you're justifying this! Everyone else already knows. You probably live in a place where you're allowed to base your opinions on your biases.
@@amylane4505that's not really a callous comment you are being overly sensitive and dramatic. Be mad at the situation not at someone's opinion of which they are perfectly entitled to.
@@amylane4505 Well he did something to get the attention of cops didn't he and he had a pellet gun. Whether he pointed it or just waved it in the air, evidently the cop thought he pointed the gun.
I don't like that he was killed and would want to know more about how the interaction started but my statement stands.
@Rick9482, I am just glad I am not a kid today. We used to carry and shoot BB guns and pellet guns in our neighborhood all of the time growing up. We shot at glass bottles that we would find, or other interesting things (nothing bad). Sometimes, the neighborhood kids would dress in thick layers of clothes and shoot BB guns at each other. I know shooting BB guns at each other isn't wise, but we were just kids having fun. If we did those things today, we'd be mowed down by the police. Policing, like everything else these days, is rapidly deteriorating.
You never point the gun at the police, whether it's true or fake! What a bunch of idiots!
1. Call comes in of Asian males with gun demanding money. 2. Officers approach juveniles. 3. Video shows one juvenile running with gun clearly seen in video. 3. Teenager is pulled down. 4. Teenager resists. 6. Fire is shot… and I ask: WHAT WAS THAT BOY THINKING?
They were from war torn Myanmar, so probably learnt how to rob people from back home and thought they would try their skills in America and found out the hard way. The females in the family crying foul, SMH you should have left them in Myanmar!
he thought he was hard. wanted to be a gangsta. now he dead lol
PARENTS. STOP ALLOWING KIDS TO CARRY ANY TYPE OF GUN. HOW CAN A COP KNOW IF IT'S REAL IN THE DARK?? HOLD PARENTS ACCOUNTABLE.
Also committing robberies
@@Gangland-ud4vb Exactly! These clowns shouldn't be running around with something so realistic-looking. There are some clods in chat calling it a toy gun. No. A TOY gun back in my day was designed to clearly reflect that it is, indeed a toy. It would be a vivid color, cheap plastic, etc. The "fake" guns these kids tote look so real, the cops have EVERY right to react as if it's a real gun. The parents and the ticked off community residents need to OWN up and take accountability for this baloney.
Parents should be charged and made accountable like they did with Jennifer and James Crumbley 10 years in Prison!
He pointed a what it looks to be a gun! Bottom line you don’t point what appears to be a gun at police officers

Some cops have lied a few times. It is not as prevalent as you make it out to be. They lie no more than the butcher with the corner shop on Main Street or the 1st grade teacher at the elementary school.
Anyone outraged by this should have their number blocked from any and all emergency services.
Is that right your a sick person so to you your going to take emergency service away because the child was down and the other cop places his gun against the child’s head and murders the child. You a tyrant bet you like licking the boots of biden using the DOJ, FBI against his political opponent
Good job leaving out he pointed a replica gun at the police in the title.

You point anything at a police officer you caused the result do not blame the officer.

Exactly, you can point a stick painted black and get shot, not the officers fault.
In this case based on the info realesed it apears the officer had legitimate reason to fear for his life and use deadly force there was no way of knowing if the gun was real or not in the situation they were in. They either had to shoot him or wait to see if he shot them.
THE OFFICER shot him while he was unarmed and subdue.

There was a protest for this?

...what is the protest about now?
Some people just like drama and chaos. Some people love to hate cops. Some love both and that is why there is a protest. Some people are mighty stupid. You're right. What else could the police officer have done?? It was a moment of him deciding whether he would go home to his family or not. Fortunately, he got to go home, but I'm sure this will still haunt him for a very long time. 😥
I haven't seen any videos that show he pointed anything at the officers. That's why it says allegedly. Allegedly pointed a BB gun at them. The cops lie all the time. If there's not a video being shown of him doing that, we can't just all assume it actually happened. What is wrong with y'all?

Sad. But I don’t blame police here.

These people protesting should be ashamed of themselves…… who let’s their 13 year old kid out at night running around with a “replica” handgun…… if the officers are imprisoned for this, then police officers are going to be less proactive in fear of going to prison for protecting their community. 🤷♂️
Typical woke mobs, that think of the here and now, no accountability or ramifications of entertaining people that have this level of respect towards a country like America that opened it's arms to provide safe harbour to flourish. However the 13 year old wanted to live like a robber and died for his bad choices.
This was staged. The kid was probably manipulated. Never side with the state unless you are a bootlicker.
Fix the title to say 13 year old with a gun, late at night who was suspected of a crime and ran from police. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
That's not click bait.
Why was he running away from the cop that the question
For being an asshole
Using it to rob people.
He was robbing people with the fake gun he waved at cops then refused to drop
He 13yrs old, with a pellet gun ... we all run from cops at 13 in those circumstances. But we ran b4 they got up on us ...
Very sad to watch.
@c.h.5510 Yeah. Grown ups judging 13 years old, the society must have a lot of insecure people, must be by design.
Kid is so stupid. You don’t run from police unless you are a criminal or done something bad.
Would have been fine to drop the gun and say, hey, this just a toy. Done.
Police was also too much. They took the boy down, no need to shoot. But yet they are just covering for their own life, you never know. I would side with the police more although very sad for the kids family. Sad event after all.
Pellet guns ARE NOT TOYS. Done.
Doing what you suggested was too simple, he wanted to explore the after life at 13 years old for a school report due Monday.
The only outrage should be the parents not being behind bars
Hope the parents get charged for negligence. Parents claiming they didn't know the son had a gun real or fake is on them. Start making parents accountable. The government and the workers are responsible to raise and discipline children.
true
Mother should be arrested for failing to raise her son properly
She’s probably a narcissist. You cant win an argument with them. She’ll put the blame on everyone else but her.
You point a gun at a cop and don’t expect to get shot?!? What was this kid thinking?!?
In the moment? Maybe (plus, they said he waved it). After they have the kid on the ground already?!? They're saying one of the other cops immediately had an issue with the shooting.
He wasn’t, might be suicide by 👮 cop thing. Don’t know what going on inside someone head
@@MrDayday4641
On the ground doesn't equal restrained. If someone is on the ground they can still pull a gun and shoot you. The police did the only thing they could.
The kid was thinking like a kid. Like most adults nowadays, too.
@@lovescarguitar more adults, then kids. Believe or not
No, you dont have to be legally an adult to be shot
They released the footage so fast cause there's honestly nothing to be upset about. All children deserve to have parets, but not all parents deserve to have a child.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Society these days is outraged with anything and everything.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Outraged…? The police tried harder to save that child’s life than his own family ever had, right up until the end they were trying to preserve his life. If you care about your children, you don’t let a culture that promotes delinquency and glamorizes improper firearm possession to flipping kids, you don’t let them out to roam at just any old hour in any old company with any type of real or pretend weapons, you teach them respect, responsibility, accountability, discipline. That young man was failed by those who condoned and continue to excuse these destructive behaviors, he was failed by a community that is only ever concerned after they lose one instead of before, instead of putting in every single effort they can do dissuade and discourage delinquent and criminal behavior and activities and the entire culture that glorifies it. Take away the idolization of that lifestyle and put faith back in these children and their families, enabling youth to imitate the worst possible role models has done nothing for this child or anyone.
Amazing how many family members come out when they know OH THERE IS MONEY TO BE MADE FROM THIS DEATH! prior to that couldn't give 2 cents worth of care.
Who's fault is it .... THE PARENTS enough said. You want to play big boy games then expect big boy prizes. Hey all he had to do is drop the gun and not run. Even a 5 year old knows not to do this. Plus isn't it a little late for a 13 yr old to be playing in dark streets with a pellet gun ?
Why blame the parents?? They probably had no idea he had that replica of a gun. Kids are very clever at hiding things from the parents. He is probably rebelling and got in with other bad kids. Kids lie to their parents and it is wrong to blame the parents everytime. Sometimes a child is just a bad seed no matter how good the parents are.
Uh because he's a child with no parental unit. So it's not a child's fault, and it's definitely not a cops fault.... so?
@@moondancer6488 Sure but why was this young kid allowed to be out at night, though?
Surely in this case the parents are at least a bit of a failure.
@@moondancer6488because I have a 13 year old and would never allow them out in the middle of the night for safety reasons.. at 6pm all kids should be home with their families..
@@moondancer6488 He is 13!!!! It's the Parents responsibility not the Police, Teachers, State or Federal Government. If you don't have the ability to be a parent, DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN!
Parents talk to your kids tell them it’s wrong to point any weapons real or fake at anyone 🤷♂️
I’m sure if the mom was like this towards her son every time he didn’t come home before 9PM none of this would have happened. Being like a crazy person does not change the fact your son is an idiot.
Yeah the outrage is at THE PARENTS! Kid had A GUN fake or not and POINTED IT AT OFFICERS WITH GUNS. When I see stories like this I’m stunned and embarrassed that people can actually try and pass off responsibility like they didn’t fail their kid and that their kid clearly was a bad kid and hanging around even worse kids.
What is a 13 year old doing out at this time, with a replica "gun", and running from police while pointing it at them?
Sounds like he didn't want to live anymore
I wish there was as much outrage as there is for when criminals does the same thing. But, people knowing they could get away with being outrage toward police but not the same with criminals, they'll continue to do so. The parenting fail in this case.
Yep. In an ideal world, all the outrage would be directed at the teen and their parents to failed at raising them.
Cops should be held to the same standard as criminals?!? That makes a lot of sense. Obviously, the kid was wrong. That doesn't justify him being shot once they already have him on the ground.
@@MrDayday4641he pointed a fake gun at the police. I bet he learned his lesson now 🤡🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
@@MrDayday4641 you know what's more logical? Not being out late at night holding a gun, whether it be a fake or real gun, especially when you're a minor. Maybe don't run away and point that thing at cops. All his action lead to this result. All the kid had to do was stop and drop the weapon, or better yet just be home when it's dark. This is how criminals are made when people don't think their actions have following consequences.

Exactly. While I get it's painful to lose someone--esp offspring--there also has to be a point where you sit down with yourself as a parent and rehash what you did and didn't do with raising em. At 13 doing that crap wasn't even on my radar. Something is obviously wrong there to tote around a replica of a glock.
thats not the mom of the boy , lol that was a neighbor
Bull! Raise your kids right! He pointed what seemed like a real gun!! Too bad for him. Police had to make a split second decision. Once again, no taking of responsibility by a community who is willfully blind and delusional. I support the police and not the criminals.

Quit blaming parents when you don't know the whole story. Kids are very good at lying to parents and, typically, Asian parents are very strict with their children. He could have just started hanging out with a bad element. Sometimes parents do all they can and still a child can turn out bad.

My condolences to the family. They may try to sue the police department but unfortunately they should have taught him not to point a weapon or anything for that matter to the officer. This should be a valuable lesson to parents everywhere. 😞
Fake gun, in the streets, at night... 13 years old... nothing good comes from those combinations. Very, very poor common sense! Teach ya kids better!
So let me get this straight, these kids had robbed others at gunpoint, then point the same weapon used in the robbery at officers?

@@WeaponXSigma Wow what a tragedy. I’m sorry for the family’s loss but the cops were in the right. I’m also sorry for the cop who has to live with the trauma.
13 yo is capable of killing anyone with a gun. Replica gun looks like a real gun. Policemen are killed every day. If he pointed a gun at them, they didn't have any other option but to defend themselves. What were they supposed to do? "Sir, sir, please stop for a second. Can you please tell us, is that a real gun or replica, that you're pointing at us?" It's an unspeakable tragedy, but it's not their fault. This one is on his parents...

That was going to be covered by the parents next week.
How about raising your kids properly at home and teach them how to obey curfew
Well we can not rely on polices if they cant even determine real or fake gun and the victim was 13 years old???

He ran, he has a gun real or not lol what do people expect? This is kinda open and shut. People are so delusional I don’t know how they remember to breathe
Human stupidity is infinite
why would a young boy be out at that time and carrying a gun. fake or real? Also why would a police shoot at someone who seem to me has been neutralized by his colleague on the floor? USA only has few more years before the decay fully affects the nation to her core.
What the hell was that kid thinking!? Did he think pointing a gun at a cop was a good idea!? I know it ended up being a fake gun, but it looks like an exact replica of a Glock. No way to distinguish it from a real gun. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
Thinking he was gonna respawn like in cod
First of all, the gun was held mostly sideway all the time and not pointing directly at policies, also they already had him on the ground before shooting. The police opened fire out of panic. I am not saying this is the police fault, the boy actions were wrong and questionable in the first place, having a fake gun at night, running away instead of corporating and pulling out a gun. But the police could've handle this situation more professionally to avoid this kind of tragedy.
My question is why was this 13 year out my a bb gun. Mot at home. Where was his parents. They are blaming police officers for their child death. Why was he out. Why did he run when they asked him to stop. Stop blaming the police for your lack of being a parent.
Ummm they chased him. Tackled him. Then shot him? In that moment he was NOT pointing the pellet gun. Weird how the police can apprehend “certain” armed people all day long but as soon as the perpetrator has any type of hue to him, they can’t ever figure out how to subdue without pulling the trigger. Odd.
He didn't drop the gun? Common sense is no longer a thing? Under law if you point a gun you get shot closed case
Out committing armed robberies and got shot, well duh
Useless policeman and horrible gun control go hand in hand
@@MrPathorock the cops didn’t do anything wrong.
If the boy was constantly cutting school, who would the authorities go after?
They would go after the parents because they are responsible.
That boy pointed what appeared to be a real gun at police officers.
Did he not learn anything at home from his parents?
I hate to say it but his parents are just as responsible for him pointing that pellet gun and getting himself killed as they would be if he were skipping school.
His parents and all parents that are raising out of touch and out of control children need to start facing charges far more often.
His parents are responsible in some way for his actions and although they are dealing with a terrible loss, the worst kind possible, there should be charges.
Otherwise this problem with young people will only get worse.
You folks need to start spending more quality time with your children and listen when they speak.
You are letting television,movies, music, and the freaks in the public school system raise your children and you are clearly not living up to your responsibilities as parents.
We need to be like China.
Do you folks want that, where they control how many children you can have?
Why was he not at work or nose deep in a book?
A 13-year-old at work? This is America.
It's summer vacation
outrage?
Aye , you know I don’t believe in giving a child those air soft pistols . Cause that’s what happens but ok what if it wasn’t a cop ??? What if it was another kid and he was trying to be cute and that other kid was a junior member of a gang . Like there are too many reasons to not have fake guns . It’s a terrible loss of life but here I don’t believe the cop was in the wrong , and I’m very judgmental about cops .
13 year olds can't legally purchase airsoft or replica firearms.
The Police had him on his back and than they shot him so they are cowards.
Just so you know you can still shoot even you are on your back
Teen F'd around and found out. Nothing more.
Oh, no: clearly police brutality ending prematurely the life of another engineer/neurosurgeon/astrophysicist waiting to enrich his community that of course defends him as "never been in trouble before" and can't blame anyone other than the cop if he was late at night with a fake gun and probably involved in two robberies!
Well, okay: shall we loot or not? I just needed a new pair of gym shoes!
The mother screaming uncontrollably in rage arms out is is not normal mature behaviour, even when you have lost somebody. Attitudes are handed down. She wasn't concerned about him wandering the streets at night
The only ‘SHOCKING’ thing about this report is how the ‘reporter’ framed it. Just because it was a replica gun is no reason not to side with the officers. This is a parent problem….they failed in their responsibility to teach their 13 yr old son NOT to run away, not to commit crimes, not to point anything resembling a gun at police.
Typical lefties, they want to cancel the police until they find themselves in dangerous situations.
I live a few blocks over from where it occurred. Officer Long deserves to be prosecuted and jailed. They released the link to the body cam footage through the Utica PD Facebook. The angle from his cam shows no remorse, runs up and point blanks him. Another officer said “why did you shoot?”
So you’re an eye witness ?
REALLY? So ANYONE who pulls out a GUN and tries to POINT it at the police, what are they supposed to do, call "time out?" "Oh, could I make sure this is a fake gun before I go ahead and let you point it at us?"
@fourfortyroadrunner6701 your argument would make sense if they shot him while he was pointing (or "waving") the gun at them. You know that's not what they're saying happened. They shot the kid while he was already on the ground! You know why you're trying to justify this.
I'm sick with all the comments ..it's a child !!!!.. I agree they should go to jail .. i feel so sorry for his mom ..it brakes my heart .
@MrDayday4641 When you have a gun on you illegally the rule is comply or die.....no games to be played.....been that way forever
There are actual cases of police brutality and injustice, but this isn't one of them. Sadly, that kid made extremely poor choices in his short life
Another you killed my baby!! He shouldn't be waving a fake gun that looked like a GLOCK
TOTALLY JUSTIFIED! Why did the kid run and then point this gun at them? Good Grief... We need a president in the USA that can put common sense of law and order again.
The video did not show anyone pointing a toy gun at the cops. The cops claim a lot of things that end up being false. That doesn't mean it actually happened. I haven't seen a version of this video show anything being pointed.
You know, spamming this same comment everywhere just tells the rest of us you are too lazy to actually find the video and watch it. You prefer to just complain?

That was stupid of the boy...
Kid’s still experiencing American life, Still learning to become a young man, kids make mistake and learn from the mistake as they grow but the human doesn’t give him no chance But I believe GOD Did! Rest In Peace Little brother 🙏 our people being persecuted constantly , flee for our lives for decades, took a shelter in other people’s country for safety but our kids, our future generations only ended up being persecuted by the police who are meant to keep us safe. I see how a world we live in now a days.
He robbed people and that’s why they stopped them. American life doesn’t involve pointing guns at cops.
Outrage for what?
(I will never read a reply) And I'm sick of people throwing the word tragic around. Tragic is when you die from cancer or something bad happens to a good person. Child, teen, or adult... it's not tragic to point a weapon at an officer and get shot AFTER already breaking the law twice. The kid got caught breaking the law, chose to run when the police were being polite, and then pulls a gun.
The kid broke the law in 3 different ways within a 1 minute video. Sick of these minorities choosing the tiniest hills to try to stand on and then wondering why they have to tell us their lives matter.
Aw no we lost a future doctor lol 🤣
Nah the kid wasn't smart enough to be a doctor, probably had the mental capacity to clean sewer pipes with a toothbrush.
oh dear there will be riots every whre in america.

Family looking for a payout from his death that he himself caused? Despicable.
It was dark, how should the Police be able to tell it was a replica ? And he was running away from them.
I saw cops tackle the kid , then punch the kid then you cut the video feed ! Sooo make me understand again
I didn't think they were chasing him bc he was so sweet and had great hair? They were attempting to arrest him...
Ok, they were chasing the kid for a reason and the kid is running for a reason (I’ll come back to this point in a second). They knock the kid to the ground and go to arrest him, that’s when you see the kid turn and point something, (call back time) what looks like a real gun; so let’s think ok, kids. Running from cops with what looks like a gun, he’s probably running from cops with that because he threatened someone with it like it was a real gun and then he painted it at an officer, parents should be ashamed, if they even raised him.
Hi Troy, yes what happened was the white racist cops assassinated a person of color then planted a pellet gun on him, all the while covering their bodycams with their hands.....right Troy?😅
All I got to say is, if I knew he had a gun I wouldn’t be chasing him like that. Common peps you smarter than that.
Man I do not like cops at all. But how can you argue with this? Wtf lol great parents
