Apparently, 'all lives matter' does not include autistic lives. Apparently some people need specific instruction in every case, ie, 'autistic lives matter.'

But now I'm reminded that the Nazis thought different, and had a program of euthanasia for the disabled.

Body cam footage to be released on Sept. 21.

I hope we get to see the cop who did the shooting.

There are places in this country where Blacks & Browns are treated like their lives matter by police. The question is why are there places in this country where they are treated like their lives don't matter? Followed up by the question of why is it allowed?

Fear be my guess and lack of training.

Once again the cops resort to the "easy" (for them) solution of shooting "the problem". A thirteen year old kid, unarmed and some cop thinks shooting the victim was the best way to resolve the situation. Who trained this clown?

Multiple videos clearly show that they assaulted the man, yet they are protected by FAR too many rules. This needs to change. Cops in this country need to be held accountable for their actions, just as you and I are (unless we're wealthy and white).

Come on man, all the cop did was shove him.

Personally, I have had it with both "sides" in this civil war.

If I were young I'd move to another country.

another rocket scientist heard from.... what was the cops perspective?

This "cops must be better than perfect humans" is inane. Don't call the cops if you don't want a failed human with good intent to respond. It's that simple.

This speaks to why I moved from Seattle (home for 46 years) to rural KY 9 years ago. I see this stuff mostly as a spectator. I have a gun with an exceptionally lethal load in my car for those rare occasions when I do have to visit the "big city" and, other than that, just enjoy a very productive life safe on my acreage and working in my shop (or performing my IT responsibilities while working from home).

I would NOT want to live near ANY large city right now, especially democrat run.

What a sad post.

I will never live scared like you.

Peace brother, all the best

All he did was fracture his skull. The law, when applied to oregular people, holds them accountable for the results of their actions. Sorry for your distress, I wish we were more Canada-like for sure. The fact that we aren't is kind of what is being protested.

Is your brother a police officer or something? Making excuses for this shooting is frankly appalling.
