The city you live in, the city of angels?Lonely as we are together let's cry.
I just don't want to feel like I did that one day.

I am deeply disappointed in the city I live in.

My son got a toy gun as a "gift" one year and the thing looked as real as any other gun you would see. He was 5 or 6 at the time, we were on vacation with family. After opening it, we went back to the hotel room, I threw it in the trash. I don't have to worry about a "situation" happening.
I don't blame the cops for this one (too cliche anyways IMO), but rather the parents. Watch your kids, don't let them have realistic looking gun type toys, and sure as hell teach them to never raise a perceived weapon towards the cops in the society and world we live in today. If it had been a real gun and the kid had shot the cop dead, I seriously doubt we'd have the same outrage in the media and society. I wonder why that is...actually I know why that is...doesn't fit the agenda.
The only thing that gets me is the "my life was in danger" excuse. 5.0 also says that when they empty a clip into a family pet. Then they investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing.
But, in this case, the dispatchers who didn't report the caller said the "gunman" was likely a juvenile and the gun was likely fake screwed up the most.

I agree. It's like the case of the guy who was killed in Walmart for holding a BB gun while talking on his phone. Police made no effort to investigate the situation because the person reporting it even described his weapon as an assault rifle, etc. The caller legally caused a murder.
People in Maine get pissed about **** that happens in Cleveland. It's really all they got...
I live in Waterville, Maine....for now.
When the police officers who shot that 12yo boy down like a dog were cleared of all wrong doing by the grand jury, my heart ached....it was flat out murder and everyone here seems not just fine, but happy about it.
I've lived here for 9 years and literally had no idea of the type of people I live with.
I'm not going to go into it...we all know what happened.
I have a 10 year old son and the thought that he may be killed because he is holding a toy has kept me up at night (and he'd likely say has made me very smothering)
Basically i'm just using the forum as a shoulder to "cry" on today (and not to bury you all in a wall of text with me ranting and bawling) for that I thank you for your indulgence.
(ok.....I know there are maybe 4-5 people here who'd claim i'm "trolling" somehow. To them I say that if you consider THIS trolling, it says a lot more about you as a person than it does me.)
I think you need to get a grip on reality.
Unfortunately many cops are not our best and brightest and when you give them badges and guns stupid **** happens.
Go to Maine. Find her. Love her.

I can't man. I'm still in shock over how awful the new Star Wars is. Once I recover.......
