…it takes a village to raise an idiot…
He stole a car. He ran from police. Now we have questions about why the police shot him. Who cares, don't steal cars.
Thats what u get when u want to act all hard and be gangsta.. be prepared to die gangsta . Fuckin punk kid got what he deserved now the parents are guna bitch and cry on how great of a punk kid he was how hed give his shirt of his back to help the homeless and all that bullshit
This is sad. I grew up without a father and when I had a son of my own I made sure to not only be a proper role model but have some discipline.. Actually I'm easy and my wife is the stern one.. But also to be all the things that I wish I had growing up for my son. Nothing better for children than a stable home with two loving parents. This is sad.
Our society is so messed up. I'm not sure we can find our way back to God
buy that officer a round or 10
Justified
Turns out real life isn’t like GTA you don’t just get 5 stars
Justice was served.
A culture with 75% fatherlessness has consequences. Hey let's blame guns.
There was no "ramming." The Corolla slowly rolled into the squad. I doubt this kid knew how to drive properly and that is why.
Its likely the cop saved lives by putting down this rabid dog at such a young age…
Old enough to steal a car and ram a police car with it you are old enough to be shot.
Bad or non-existing parenting killed this boy, not police bullets.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
As far as I am concerned the little thief's mother is the reason her son is dead.
🙏 justice served. Amen
Now let's charge his parents for raising a criminal
Parents! Do you know where your children are?
Good job police!
Age don't matter!!! Want to be an outlaw! Don't cry when you die like an outlaw.
Get that trap house out of my grandfather name. He was a vet. We need a new department. Felony feline sheriff's just got kicked. Intrapment and false reports. XXX 30 years for the Sheriff's.
mess around find out
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time
Those punks in the car are lucky the police officers didn't open up on the entire car and put 70 bullets into all of them. I've seen videos where police empty mags on cars trying to ram officers. One shot on the driver? I'm impressed with his trigger discipline.
Saved us some tax dollars. Thank you.
Well done officer. Sad and unnecessary but at least no one innocent was killed or hurt by the kid
Seriously the kid did it to himself on top of that his friends are real lucky they never got shot
