  1. casper americans may carry guns and criminals may shoot one another but england is the country that leads in bomb threats, id rather see one person shot then a whole school blew up weekly
     
  2. i can admit america isn't perfect too... but u went else where when the topic is about cops killing a kid
     
  3. The topic is about guns in terms of the kid being shot and carrying a gun so still relevant lol. Queen that's interesting, what's the source of that info please?
     
  4. America is indeed not perfect nor the people living here including myself.

    As it relates to the topic: I think the police responded in the wrong manner, and this happens daily around the US where officers have killed persons they "thought" were armed and dangerous. later, they find out the guy only had his wallet in his possession.

    The police were out of line and should be released of their duties. Some officers are careless and take being an officer as a way to do whatever they want. I'll stop here cause I've seen a person gun down in the streets by officers for a case of mistaken identity, the person had no weapon.
     
  5. google, england has the highest bomb rate and threats
     
  6. all that isn't relative to this topic. this isn't about what country better. Please stay on topic and stop attacking England.
     
  7. well said butterfly... kept it straight with the topic
     
  8. This is different than mistaken identity. The kid appeared to have an assault rifle and wouldn't respond to the police. They were within their rights to take action. And honestly 8 bullets. 800 bullets. Make no difference when all it takes is one.
     
  9. the child did not know the police were calling to him. I'm one that don't respond to anything but my name. they opened fired when he turned around. they were wreck less and should be punished. it's no different from mistaken identity as they said the guy had a weapon.
     
  10. It's not like they made the call on their own. They have guidelines. If someone walks down the road carrying an assault rifle then the police have to take action. They called and got no answer. It's not like you just walk up to someone if you think they have an AK 47. They weren't in the wrong here.
     
  11. I bet all of you voted for Obama
     
  12. who I vote for has not bearings here. I could've voted for snoopy, and my thoughts would remain the same. they were wrong. The police kill people everyday behind crap like this.
     
  13. To be honest, I feel like cops are way too violent nowadays. All over the news, you see things like police beating a prisoner or maybe releasing a dog in the car and attacked a suspect recently. I feel bad for the kid, but he is 13, I see 13 years old walking around my school and they look like little kindergartens, they won't know what the law is. And yes, 8 shots is definitely an overkill on a little kid, at least have some kind of taser gun before you just launch a shot at a kid. But to point out, they are serving the country and risking their lives, at least put safety of the citizen or so called "suspects" a bit first because you put on your safety. They could of just sit in the car and use a speaker to ask the boy to put down the gun. I think they should have those guns were it hurts to a point, but it is not lethal/death.
     
  14. Hmmmm. I tried that and got nothing. Oh well. Seems surprising that England would have a higher number of bomb threats than a country which has a lot of unrest. Wonder where that came from....
     
  15. How unfortunate.
    I wouldn't blame the Police or the boy though.
     
  16. so who's to blame for this tragedy? somebody has to be held accountable.
     
  17. The boy shouldn't have openly carried a fake gun Down the road.
     
  18. Police have guidelines to follow, if they followed standard procedure they're in the right. They took what action they believe was best for their own protection, and for other people who may have been around.
    Toy guns shouldn't be sold any way.
     
  19. anybody know if the kid spoke english? Maybe he didnt understand.the cops
