here's your daily serving of the thin blue line protecting you, and in this case its a boy playing with his friends using cap guns who evidently was just begging to be shot by a cop;
Oklahoma City, OK — Disturbing body camera footage
was released this week showing how normal childhood acts can and will
lead to children being shot by police. Boys being boys is apparently now
a reason for deadly force in the land of the free.
Lorenzo Clerkley, 14, was playing with his friends two months ago
when Oklahoma City police officer Kyle Holcomb put two bullets in him.
Lorenzo was playing with friends in an abandoned house
and he was also playing with toy guns with his other friends, but this
was no reason for a cop to open fire—especially when the cop knew the
boys were playing with toy guns.
“Everything happened so quick,” Cherelle Lee, Lorenzo’s mother told
CNN. “There was no reason he should’ve fired off anyway just because he
could’ve ended up taking his life.”
Despite body camera footage showing how fast the officer was to open
fire on a child he knew was playing with a “cap gun,” and despite the
lack of evidence that Lorenzo was even holding a toy gun when he was
shot, Holcomb has returned to full duty after a brief paid vacation.
As the video shows, as the officer walks along the fence, faint pops are heard in the distance. Holcomb then gets on the radio, saying, “I think it’s a cap gun, but they are shooting something off.”
The fact that the kids were heard shooting the toy guns in the house
proves they had no idea anyone had called police on them and no idea
that police were there.
When Holcomb walks up to a portion of the fence that is missing
boards, he points his gun through it for just a few seconds before
opening fire.
“Show me your hands! Drop it!” Holcomb says and then immediately
begins firing without allowing Lorenzo any time to respond. Lorenzo was
shot twice.........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/cop-shoots-14yo-boy-through-a-fence-as-he-played-with-his-friends/246521
