Police Shoot Boy Playing Cops and Robbers in L.A.
A boy playing “cops and robbers” with a toy handgun has been shot and wounded by a Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy, officials say.
The boy was shot on Sunday night in Palmdale, north of downtown Los Angeles.
Police Deputy Jeff Gordon said the boy was hospitalised in a stable condition and was expected to survive.
His age and identity were not immediately released.
Gordon said deputies were responding to reports that someone was riding a bicycle and brandishing a handgun.
They spotted the rider and ordered him to drop the weapon but instead he pointed it at the deputies, Gordon said.
One deputy fired a shot and hit the boy in the upper body.

You really have to wonder if the kid actually pointed the gun at the officers, all police are not good police and some of them still have that racist attitude when it comes to minorities. That’s usually SOP when it comes to officers shooting, he pointed the gun at us. Dead men or women tell no tales…
AGAIN WERE IS THIS KID PARENTS? AT 15 HE SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO POINT A GUN WEATHER REAL R NOT AT THE POLICE DATS THERE CUE TO KILL. THE PARENTS NEED TO GET MORE INVOLVE IN THEIR KIDS LIFE AN STOP LEAVE THEM FOR SOCIETY TO TAKE CARE OF. IF HE WAS KILLED THEN YOU WOULD GET PROTECT AN ALL THE MEDIA WOULD MAKE IT LOOKS LIKE HE WAS INNOCENT. I DNT AHVE A CHILD BUT WHEN I DO I WILL MAKE IT MY POINT OF DUTY TO BE BEIN AN FRIEND AND STOP BEIN A MOTHER.
First off in L.A. a 15 year old kid should have known better to point ANYTHING at cops,The cop are ready and willing to shoot you down(SHOOT FIRST,ASK QUESTIONS LATER)AND IN THAT CITY PARENTS SHOULDN’T LET THE KIDS PLAY WITH A TOY GUN AT NIGHT KNOWING HOW THE COPS ARE.PEOPLE SHOULD USE THERE HEADS AND THINK.
Why don’t Orpah and the president along with his wife and kids have a show on this subject? Oh I forgot it doesn’t matter unless the violence happens between certain blacks like Chris Brown and Rihanna, because you get to demonize the black male!!
Hopefully what’s being repoeted is accurate and true otherwise it is the same old, same old… It very much could’ve been some vigilante type sh.it. We will never know the truth because everybody involved will add their own spin to the story including the victims family. No disrespect intending to the injured freinds and family.
Its really messed up, man you give a kids legos they learn to build s**t.
What does a kid learn when you give him a gun? What do they gain? Wheres the fun?
Dont say hunting either, they dont have G I joes like we used to. The whole american soldier army thing is played out.
Obviously we are teaching/training our kids to be cops because ‘that aint cool’……..
Dont play with guns? is the moral of the story. They arent cool, they arent fun. Tragic way to learn a lesson.
My brothers kids dont have guns to play with. The only gun we had was the nintendo orange light gun and moms didnt like that s**t.
i say there shood be more dead cops
man, they wont stop until we stop them. lets go back in time and say no to intergratgion. when you be around them white folk you tend to get the problems that come alone with it. somebody should have told dr king and malcom x to co it a lil different caus being in they world is dangerous. and being seperate is expensive. we shuold gave just took they money like pimps and created an empire here that would be freded of the drugs and gunz. that way when the police or whoever do sdomething they gots to answer to the people. oh well maby next lifetime
WTF IT WAS A SQUIRT GUN?? DUMB AZZ COPS MAN
It’s obvious some mental illness here. If he is a teenager he should not have been pointing a gun at a police officer. I think the police were only trying to do there job. Police have their lives to protect as well as others. You have so many looneies out in the streets until its hard for police to really trust anyone.
now its sad but damn he was too old to be playin cops and robbers
AN EYE FOR AN EYE
To bad nobody understands,the (RED COATS)have simply changed to blue.The empire that is your Government will pay for their crimes this you can be assure of!The day of the Lord is almost upon us,all of EDOM will answer to The Living God!Not your idols,butI’MMANUEL The Holy One Of Isreal!
I think the officers out here have a tendency to react to quickly and ask questions later. I think they should all be held accountable for the actions they chose to execute. I am a Los Angeles native I lived in south central for many years,and I understand that the police are in a war zone at times, but so are our children. And to know there was a group of children actually being children in one of our neighborhoods and one is shot by a man who is supposed to protect and serve our community??? It makes me question alot of things, are my own children safe??? If we cant trust those we pay to protect us who can we trust????
but he did not bother anybody what so ever i will not be happy with anything but the death penalty for this police
He was playing outside at night? in a dangerous neighborhood with a toy gun? Those toy guns that look like the real deal? Police Brutality?Now how those this case compares to The top 10 Police butality cases you displayed ? How?
