So you have seen the videos, or have first hand knowledge of what the fight was like, and what force was necessary for the officer to protect themself?

From all accounts I have read and heard, the guy made a choice to run from the cops, resist arrest, and make repeated attempts to go for his waistband. I have no reason to doubt any of this. The moral of the story: play stupid games, win stupid prizes. We can't forget that a handgun was recovered either.

I am thankful the officer lived and deadly force was not used by anyone.

Has anyone said how much experience the arresting officer has? I think they should always include that in the story.

Fify

And if the officer was left handed and the clown hit his head on a curb when he was running and fell then what quarterback

Do we know for sure he was even hit? Ive seen African tribes with bigger lips than that...

Wylam was a decent little town until the Bank moved out. My family had a business there for years. After the Bank closed and the Pleasant Grove traffic started going around, it went down hill. Reviera's grocery started getting robbed and then they had a shoot out and Miller finally closed it down. I remember that day like it was yesterday.

Hard to give him a fat lip or a black eye.

I agree, although that's not applicable here due to the fact he was a juvenile.

I think it is very applicable, but the information will not be released due to his age. From what I have been told the guy has quite the record.

Thugs use juveniles to commit assault and shootings due to protection society gives them. I think these protections need to be removed. There are very few good kids that need it.
