Some kids just feel unnoticed and forgotten and want attention. When I was in HS my best friend killed himself and the school refused to acknowledge him or his death for fear that other kids would think that if they followed suit they'd get public recognition.
"Why was so much excess force used on a minor?" he asked. "Three shots. Why not one that would bring him down?"
Pellet guns are suppose to have an easily visible orange piece of plastic on the muzzle. If the kid removed this "safety" feature well then the cop had really no choice then to employ deadly force in this case. imo.
Was it that hard to trick an 8th grader to avoid killing him? Sometimes I wonder if an average cop has a brain bigger than a donut.
Its fing crazy when cops are executing children in school hallways, esp when he just has a pellet gun. Cops are supposed to be trained to handle situations like this w/o killing someone. A lot of kids are a bit mental at that age. You can't just shoot them in front of their classmates.
When people talk about big govt tyranny, this is the examples that come to my mind. Not only did they not resolve the situation without killing someones child, they scarred many of the other students there. Incompetance and cowardice of an 8th grader with a bb gun. Shameful.
Was not a single cops suspicion arisen by the fact that from the call to their arrival not a single round was fired by the kid?
The boy's father, Jaime Gonzalez Sr., called the shooting unjustified and said he had no idea where his son got the pellet gun.

why? maybe he wanted to just shoot cops? or hadnt found the kid he wanted to shoot?
because you stop shooting when the hit the gound.....even the seals shot bin laden more than once.....
So now you should wait until a criminal shoots someone before you can kill them, makes perfect senseBut yet didn't fire a shot.
You don't really have a brain do you? This is not the first time nor will it be the last time some dumb ass points a realistic looking fake gun at someone and gets their ass shot off, in Texas or anywhere elseYou're not really in Texas, are you?

I can see it now... Democrats propose ban on pellet guns.

,... CUZ THIS HERE IS TEXAS!!! Yeeeeeeeeeeehhhaaaaaaawwwwww!!!
Yup...no brain
More specifically, 3 shots to someone pointing a gun at you is excessive? Only to people who think hollywood gunfights are realistic.
Yeah, Hollywood also fooled us all into thinking that bullets actually work on shoulders, thighs and limbs.

Now people will just put a orange piece of plactic around the muzzle of a real gun to fake out the cops to think its a toy gun. I think the guns themselves need to be crazy colors like neon green or something. The whole gun not just a little piece on the muzzle. That way the really stand out as being fake.
having been in a situation where cops have seen a lot of fake guns that look very legitimate(used to be big into airsoft), you set them down they cannot tell the difference. they'd have no way of knowing it was just shooting bbs until it actually fired bbs. this kid is an idiot or he wanted to die. it sucks because there's probably a bigger underlying story and we haven't heard it yet or we won't ever.
and that in a high tension moment with other lives in danger a normal cop can hit a 8th grader in a way to put them down and not kill them.
