It is sad that the young boy was killed but the officers were just doing their job to protect the comunity. The boy had an altered toy gun that looked real. He did not respond to commands from the cops. Race of the boy had nothing to do with it. It is called the race card, just somthing else to fuss about and devide the comunity. It is sad no mater his color. Let the officers go back to work and leave them alone. Even it was just their job and they did nothing wrong they have to live with the fact that they killed a boy.truck2cmfdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781315001929719662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-73079687874317517132007-12-08T22:20:00.000-05:002007-12-08T22:20:00.000-05:00Old White Man - Amen!<B>Old White Man</B> - Amen!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001965827509309490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-62642369460553691172007-12-08T14:18:00.000-05:002007-12-08T14:18:00.000-05:00No, these officers should not resign for the good ...No, these officers should not resign for the good of the community.

The true tragedy is that an innocent 12-year old boy is dead ... and to date, there is nobody taking responsibility for his death. The police chief kept saying <I>'no policy was broken'</I>. Does he realize that the policy should be <B>changed</B> if it can result in the killing of an innocent 12-year old citizen?<BR/><BR/><B>AJ</B> - I agree. I'm surprised that the police chief doesn't see the problem.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001965827509309490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6152307338772205194.post-84441117453287339322007-12-07T14:57:00.000-05:002007-12-07T14:57:00.000-05:00Until police officers are held accountable for the...Until police officers are held accountable for their actions we will continue to have rogue officers in our communities that abuse their positions.
