Video Reflections

ABC 7 News Video

The video I decided to watch was the ABC 7 news report where the cops shoot a young teenager because of a toy assault rifle. I feel like they are bound to get shot. It's your life or theres, well at least thats how I think a lot of cops have to think. Some individuals won't hesitate to take your life so if you're giving everyone the benefit of the doubt you might be the one to loose your life. Yes, in certain instances I think cops hesitate but when it comes to weapons that look like they'd threaten your life I think you can never be too safe. The fact that the officers told the boy to put the gun down and he didn't makes everything more sketch. As an officer if you see someone carrying a weapon and you tell them to put it down and they don't there goes that chance that it could be your life or theirs.
