Outlaw moved to fire Mendoza because the shooting violated the department's use of force directive, she said.
These police defunding nutwacks really messing up officer's morale.
Now, if you will only cover stories where police are shot by career criminals or talk about how many people die in place like Chicago every week. But you won't. It doesn't align with your liberal narrative.
I hope Justice be served
12! So no parents involved in this kids life
Unfortunately, unfit mayor Wilson Goode will never be charged with bombing row houses and killing eleven people, including five children.
Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me
Why American cops so nervous with gun in hand?
Gotta stop letting cops have the right to use deadly force when they 'imagine' their life is in danger. This might be the only profession where you're not held accountable for seriously fucking up on the job
As he should be
The one who killed George Floyd was White what’s your point
Parents were ok with him posting of pictures with his gun while was 12. He shot at undercover police in their car. They went after him. Don’t shoot at cops in a car. He was a threat to the public. He needed to be stopped. Now parents want a payday.
Finally! Get these dirty cops out of the police department!
Thanks to the officer. Arrest the parents.
Wassup fake news
12 years old OMG!
Let me get this right. Black cop shots white kid in the back and no ifs, ands or buts the cop is charged. But when it’s a white cop who shoots a black kid in the back no hesitation to say ‘no charges will be filed!’ Fvk is that!!!🤬
Good job Mr Krasner for AGAIN prosecuting a police officer for doing his job after he and his fellow officers were fired at !!!👍 Philly is a toilet thanks to you, outlaw, and Kenney 👍
Police are crazy and dangerous in this country.
Krasner only interested in going after cops 👮🏻♂️, never the thugs causing all the real violence and crime🤦🏻♂️
Good. Now convict him
Yes!!
What is going on in our country where a 12 year old boy has a gun and shots at people? THAT was the precipitating event.
Meanwhile in Virginia
Good cops need to use commonsense more outside of the horrible training they receive ..
How the hell would an officer ever get away with shooting anyone in the back
“Former” how fast the media wants you to forget he was wearing a badge when he murdered this child.
I'm surprised there didn't need to be a big protest to come to this conclusion. Oh yeah, the kid is white.
Classic, “over-charging the officer so he will be acquitted but you can’t blame me, I took it to jury” move. 🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Good for the damn police officer
This blatantly tells you BLACK LIVES DON’T MATTER! The so call POLICE is not there to SERVE and PROTECT BLACKS. It just words written down. No different then the words written that all men are created equal but never practiced or lived up to. Obviously these words mean nothing
Where’s the Adam Toledo case🤔🤔
Good !!!
Because the boy is white.
grace0715 As he should be
Oh
People really trying to make a 12 year old kid that got executed the villain in this story
Maybe don't shoot at cops
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
About time. Shooting suspects 'as they run away' should not be allowed just because: 'I had reason to believe they constituted a danger'. It is an absurd American precedent and really needs overturning.
DA_LarryKrasner doing what he does best putting PhillyPolice in jail. backtheblue
Wow!
And Had he not been a cop, or held accountable the first time just maybe he would not have been able to kill again. Our society cares more about money than lives. The good old boys networks are a major problem with our nation.

First They Came for… And they then there are as no one left to speak up for me!
It is always good to see a police offices held accountable for their actions!
The police get charged when they murder a white kid.
TJ siderio shot at the officer first, and the round lodged in the headrest of the police cruiser
Gosh how TF is the USA allowed to govern itself 🤦♂️
Why are they showing a picture of a 12 year old minor and not the police officer?
