smh

Dey were both armed doe? Or was it planted?

Adam Toledo was told to drop his weapon and he did.

The other guy was just out on the street late at night.

Fact is police force has always been there to protect property and not protect people.

Foxx acknowledged in her announcement that "while the evidence is insufficient to support criminal charges, it is important to highlight that the officers themselves created the conditions which the use of deadly force became necessary."
"First, it was unnecessary for the officers to stop and engage with Mr. Alvarez, who was walking through a gas station parking lot, holding food and drink," she said. "He was not committing any crimes that were readily apparent to the officers at the time."
She added that she has "deep, deep concerns about the foot pursuit policy in both of these cases but, in particular, what happened with Mr. Alvarez."
Foxx noted the officer who shot Alvarez "may have committed several foot pursuit policy violations during his foot chase of Mr. Alvarez, such as rounding corners blind without first slowing to assess any danger and not creating distance or waiting for his partner upon observing Mr. Alvarez with the firearm."

He literally did, though. That was the case where the kid had a gun in his hand and tossed it while turning towards the cop and raising his hands in one motion.

For me the issue is the Cook County State's Attorney deciding not to prosecute. Let a court decide.
