Spent a few mins reading up on "Adam Toledo", to see what type of kid we were discussing.

What I quickly noticed instead was the usual MSM agenda "canned" response to paint a problem Teen as a Angel and to incite others for more followup headlines and AD'$.

Remember this is Chicago. A Far Left city where owning a firearm legally is next to impossible. I know, because my now expired IL. State Patrol issued Firearm Permit excluded the city of Chicago. It is a well known Far Left Socialist-Democrat City constantly in the news for shooting, drugs and racial issues. An for some reason constantly used by Liberals and Socialists and Race Baiters as an example of where the US society and politics needs to be headed.

Examples:
USA-TODAY used lines like:
"Adam Toledo ... who dreamed of becoming a police officer..."
- they failed to mention he was a 13 yr/old carrying firearm & a possible drug runner.

"...the need to change Chicago police foot pursuit policy "
- which to me means ... if they run, let them go.

"police ... issued an "officer safety alert" and said the Narcotics Division had received information about retaliation."
- So was this a Teen who wanted to be a police officer or a drug gang related teen and the Police line was fiction and tossed in for sympathy?


Note: this happened in a largely Latino neighborhood after the department’s ShotSpotter system detected 8 gunshots. Causing CPD to arrive. At which time the Teen and a 21-year-old man hauled a$$. At some point the Teen draw down on the officer. At which point the officer shot the armed teen once in the chest killing the teen.
- Why was a 13 yr/old so far from home and in a different ethnic community.
- Why run when the Police/Narcs pull up?
- Why & How was he armed?
- Where did he get the firearm?
- Why is it a 13 yr/old teen "possible" gang member is armed? But "Citizens" are denied the right to self defense


Then the USA Today article tosses in for good measure a link named: "White officers use force more often, Chicago police study finds"
- But failed to mention of the 12,000 +/- LEO's CPD over 1/2 are White Officers followed by Black & Hispanic just about equally match and Asian.


BTW: In a FOXNEWS Report
it seems the Chicago Mayor had seen the Police Cam Video.
Because faced with Visual Facts she changed her tune: "Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Monday vowed to hold the adults responsible for "putting a gun into the hands" of 13-year-old Adam Toledo..." - We now know the Teen was in fact ARMED and it was likely a good shoot.

#3 change Chicago police foot pursuit policy

I'm partial to letting a hollowpoint do that myself.
