A bystander assisted other officers in physically detaining the juvenile, this is after the cop got stabbed, sounds like great police work there in Gaza, I mean Brentwood.
It doesnt matter his age, he was a threat and should have been at the very least tased. You can’t sit down and have milk & cookies with 51/50s, you need to eliminate the threat at all costs.
“taunting other people with the knife” “After numerous attempts to de-escalate the situation an officer moved in to detain the juvenile. As he did, the juvenile stabbed the officer”
Officers were being too nice. After numerous attempts, they de-escalated alright… the officer could have been killed. Who cares he is a juvenile they had every right to shoot him
