You were thinking of that kid who got shot while running away and throwing away his gun.
re: "while running away and throwing away his gun".
At the time the police officer pulled his trigger, it appeared that the suspect was turning around
with gun in hand.
In the words even of the liberal media reporting on the issue, approximately
one second elapsed in between the time it looked like the suspect was turning towards the officer with gun in hand (the time his brain decided to pull the trigger), and the time it became clearer in video that he had dropped or thrown away the gun.
One second. The brain had already told the hand to pull the trigger. Does anyone expect his brain-body combination to completely reverse that decision based on new information in a single second of time?
Where has our common sense gone? I'd be much more interested in the parents whose 12 year old was running around shooting people in the dead of night.
