Lots of interesting news today

I really wish we knew what crime he was committing. It would shape my feelings on this substantially.

Was the 13 year old tagging a building with spray paint and was shot? That would be an over reaction.

Was the 13 year old breaking into a house - scared a homeowner and was shot? Play stupid games win stupid prozes.
 
More details would be nice.

Goldsboro police said the boy committed a crime against a "known offender." The offender is cooperating with police, and no charges have been filed.

I get your premise on this but at the same time. What led to the shooting.

“Teenager shot by the police for smoking in a no smoking area” When in reality, the 6’8 19 year old was smoking when he was approached by a security guard. Ordered to leave, started beating the security guard, picks up a brick. Then was shot by the police. In original crime had nothing to do with it. Like I suspect with this and many other stories.

I hear ya - and why I said I wish I knew the story.
Your case would certainly be a justified use of force.
But really irrelevant because in this case it was not an LEO who shot him. So it was either a victim protecting themselves - justified - or a vigilante killling someone for a property crime. Maybe less justified.

Additionally you and I have known each other for long enough to know we will never agree on the LEO issue. You think 99% of LEO are good guys and 100% of criminals are bad guys. I think both lots have an equal number of good and bad as each other.

Other big cities, Philly for example, do the same.
