The city of Chicago on Thursday released video of the fatal police shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo, as Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the boy’s family together called for people to “express themselves peacefully” following the “incredibly painful” release.
So I’m not going to watch a child get murdered by the police but from all the comments I read on r/Chicago it sounds like the cops didn’t even allow him to drop the gun. They shouted “drop it” and “raise your hands” simultaneously. How can someone even respond to unclear orders like that?
This whole shooting reminds me of Beau’s video talking about his time training police. They used to train using “time, distance, cover”. Essentially if you’re responding to a potentially violent situation you give it time, the suspect distance, and take cover. But these fucking cops run in like they’re in a video game and kill everyone even someone who’s complying.
kid definitely tosses it behind his back split-second before the pig yells "hands up" which is fucked because its not like the cop really gave him a second to even put his hands up before opening fire like a fucking piece of shit

Ty, it's very hard to catch even going frame by frame
I think he dropped it as he raised his hands but I can’t bring myself to watch it.
