The cops killed a teenager. I can't imagine the anger and grief their family, friends, and community are going through. The police are supposed to protect a community, and if they are murdering kids, what recourse is there?
Outrage and "riots" are appropriate. The responsibility for this damage lies with the police.

Was "known to the police, particularly for resisting arrest," and in fact had been charged with resisting the previous weekend and five times since 2021. His judicial file included 15 recorded incidents, including use of false license plates, driving without insurance, and for the sale and consumption of narcotics. None of the above excuses the police shooting, but you do not think the police was essentially trying to prevent somebody who sooner or later would kill a pedestrian or cause a serious road accident?
- BrandoElFollito 3y agoI agree with your sensible c comment. I think that the cop tragically overreacted/panicked and is basically already condemned (including by the president). This is a tragedy for everyone and the rest is pure hooliganism.
