What fear do police have when chasing down ppl running away only to be shot in BACK by police? This continued false police narrative often contradicted police body cams to refute continued justification of murder in blue backed by badge & blue wall of silence. Murder is murder!

Looked like the suspect was carrying a real gun and going for cover to return fire from behind the brick wall or endanger the public to me. good work Officer, amazing shot!

They shot him in the back.

SMH...

Word of advice to the police: If someone is running AWAY from you, they are not 'threatening' you! DON'T SHOOT THEM IN THE BACK IN COLD BLOOD!

Law should be passed that all fake guns must be a florecen color to allow a person to quickly visually determine it is not a real gun. Why do they have to be so realistic. Doesn’t explain shooting people while running away. MomsDemand

Running away with a firearm is not enough to shoot and kill anyone. His right to bear arms was infringed.

He's a good boy. He was just carrying a real looking gun and running from a copper.

The Officer of Tempe should B fired Their is NO NEED 4 Any Officer 2 pull their guns N Kill any 1 Let alone a Child, Teen or Adult Police should only shoot their guns when shot at Officers R well trained on hand 2 hand combat, with night sticks, stun guns N Fire power SO WHY KILL

This shooting was sponsored by Spectrum Reach.

Air rifles can kill to.

🙏🙏🙏

'Street boy, you'll never beat the streets'. Another boy lost and another attack on an officer doing his job. We should be out helping troubled kids instead so they dont have to run. More flowers & candles for the news while a family & an officer grieve.

The guy is 14 year old. I didn't they released the names of people that young. What's this about?

People should teach their children not to point guns at anyone. Especially the police. No they teach their children that police are bad so that’s why they point Guns at them. Shame on the parents

'Criminals in BLUE' strike again. He shot him in the back while he was running away.

Officer was in the right.

No thanks. Had enough police snuff videos for this lifetime.

This officer did nothing wrong. I feel bad for the kid. But he ran. Did not respond to directions and appears to be carrying a weapon.

What a stupid kid.

Don't carry firearms when committing felonies and you are less likely to get shot.

Don't shoot people who are running away. You are not in danger.

Dont run from police w a gun in ur hand. Its not hard people

That he stole out of a car Yeah they look a lot like real guns probably not a good idea to be holding them around the police. Further proof that guns save lives.
