    Who is right and wrong here? Both officer and victim are Black. But there was still rioting:

    From the description that’s a good shoot. Imagine being such a dumb*** that you think a guy getting into a fight in the mall and producing a pistol is the guy you want to stand for.

    idiots.

    bad cops come in all colors, as do criminals

    that said, this sounds like a good shoot, even though there was no real threat, the cops could not of known there was no more bullets in the gun after the criminals first shot (in which he shot himself)

    as for the rioting and looting, people are just looking for a reason it seems and if the Trump economy gets any worse, the looting could get worse, especially after all the gas Trump threw on valid concerns of police violence and Trump's push to distrust authority

    The guy certainly should have been arrested but what were the circumstances of his being shot?

    People are on a hair trigger for incidents where the police shoot someone with no real immediate cause, even if that isn't what really happened.

    The circumstances are that he shot at the officer and missed and the officer returned fire (at Mayfair Mall, the crown jewel of malls in the state). It was all caught on film. You can't make this stuff up anymore.

    I lived in Wauwatosa 7 years ago. They pillaged the area 1/2 block north of where I used to live.

    Here is the video that the MSM won't touch with a 10 foot pole. It documents the violence in graphic detail including a progressive citizen begging them not trash his house.... they went ahead and trashed his lawn.


    This all started when Milwaukee allowed teachers to live outside of Milwaukee. They flocked to Wauwatosa. Heather Kuhl moved to Tosa in 2014 (about the time I left) and got herself a position a power. She is the person instigating and inciting the violence and trashing the school system. Hundreds of parents are pulling their kids from the Tosa school system.

    The highlighted is one of the places they hit. Notice the house prices. This is an upscale area, a beautiful lovely place.

    When I moved from the area, Wauwatosa West had a Great Schools rating of 10. It is now 4. I want you to ponder that. Four years of progressive governance is all it took to absolutely destroy what once was one of finest public schools in the state.... four years.

    Their incompetence is not Trump's fault and in fact precedes him(weapons of mass destruction anyone). He just happens to have a microphone about it.

    So the kid shot at the officer first and then was shot in turn? It's sad but justifiable. Once you come under attack with deadly force or believe your life is in reasonable danger, you have every right to defend and protect yourself. However I'm also going to wait before truly passing judgement. More information may still come out that completely changes the narrative. How many time has that already happened this year?

    Footage of the scene :



    Always make up your mind by looking at the video yourself in these cases.

    Cole was running away from the cops, the cops caught up to him, he had a gun in hand visible on tape, and the cops claim he was pointing the gun at them which is why they shot him. You don't see the last part on film as it's filmed from very far away, so you can't by 100% sure he was actually about to shoot a cop, but very likely to be a good shoot.

    I hope he doesn't get fired. If we keep going in this direction criminal loons will just take over everything since there appears to be no need for rule of law in some places.

    "He was carrying a stolen gun which he’d posted a photo of himself holding (on Facebook) the previous night. Though only 17, Cole had prior felony convictions which made it illegal for him to possess a gun"

    \thread !

    This is exactly the type of scum the left tries to make a martyr out of. Good job officer! One less dirtbag wasting our oxygen!

    Breaking news... MASS SHOOTING at Mayfair Mall. At least 7 people shot. Note, this is an upper middle class shopping mall considered the jewel of Wisconsin. In the last few few years, gang bangers from the hood have begun frequenting it. There have been multiple shootings and mass fights in the past couple years. I would consider this shooting to be the end of the mall altogether. We quit going there long ago.

    https://www.jsonline.com/story/news...-mayfair-mall-wauwatosa-wisconsin/6363298002/

    This thread started over a gang banger getting shot after shooting at police at Mayfair Mall. I wonder if there will 3 months of riots and looting over the shooting today. They terrorized Wauwatosa for 3 straight months over the shooting upon which this thread started.

    Ok the shooter was a young white male. This could be a racially motivated lone wolf shooting situation.... 8 victims confirmed with no fatalities. If the victims were minority, this story is going to blow up.

    I hope this won’t spill over, but being terrorized for 3 months is insane and can definitely drive people nuts.

    This was a matter of time. The never ending race baiting might lead to a wave of shootings like that.

    Why would the color of the skin matter who is right or wrong. It's it OBVIOUSLY apparent who is wrong here. How could the criminal who was shot possibly have been in the right.

    And once again I don't understand this apparently acceptable notion in mainly the black community of "Oh the police shot a criminals let's go loot Best Buy and burn down the CVS". What's the protest here about. Why aren't they protest the crime that permeates their community and the persons who commit and work with the police to put a stop to it?

    I'm glad you agree it was a lawful shoot but disagree about "real threat". He was a real threat when he was in the mall illegally brandishing a loaded gun, he was a real threat when he resisted arrest and tried to flee with a loaded gun, he was a threat when that loaded gun discharged, and yes while on the ground with that gun and a magazine he remained a real threat and would only NOT be a real threat when either he dropped the weapon and was cuffed and in custody or was dead. The police handled it as the real threat it was.

    Read OP link for the full story. The criminal fled the mall as the police arrived and tried to flee the scene, the police chased on foot. The criminals gun goes off, actually hitting himself in the leg but the discharge a weapon when the police are chasing you...........you're about to be dead. But they did not return fire and approached him and he raised the weapon.............now you ARE dead. Up on removing the weapon it did not have the magazine inserted so the one bullet that went off was the only bullet but of course the police would have no idea of that.

    So a stupid teen already with felony convictions takes an illegal weapon into the mall, brandishes it in a threatening manner, the police are called he tries to flea, the weapon goes off, the police approach him and he raises the weapon..........................what do you expect to happen at that point, the social worker step forward and communicate with him as some on the left have been suggesting?

    If the police shoot and kill him does that mean all the white folk get to protest and riot and go loot Best Buy?

    it was perceived as a real threat, a toy gun can be perceived as a real threat and not be, same as a unloaded gun.... both would be good shoots, but not real threats, just perceived treats.... that is what I was saying - cops can not know what they do not know, so they have to treat perceived threats as real threats

    only hindsight can show that a perceived threat was not a real threat
