[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this is the one I'm thinking of, it did make national news.  The big difference (other than the protests) is that people understood more so why this happened vs a completely unarmed person.  This teen had what looked like a weapon, cops yelled to him first, and he turned around with fake weapon pointed at cops.  Cops fired.

People were a lot more understanding of how that situation results in the death of a young teen vs the killing of an unarmed teen who posed no threat to the cops. [/quote]

I don't remember this at all.

But his weapons weren't real, which makes the situation so tragic. [/quote]

Pp here.  I totally agree with you.  However, I think people were more sympathetic to the cops (and I do understand this) because they appeared to follow the right steps and when a gun was pointed at them, they couldn't tell it was fake and reacted by shooting him.  Terribly tragic but I also remember people not having much sympathy for the teen since he wasn't totally innocent in the whole misunderstanding.  Vs say being harassed by cops and the situation getting out of control.  [/quote]
