Everyone is outraged and the media posts an innocent looking pic of him like he's an innocent child. But there is a reason why you don't run away from the police when they are chasing you. I mean you can if you want to be dumb.

He was high on something illegal. Remember. Nothing good happens on the streets after Midnight. He should have been asleep. 2:30 a.m. on the streets.

That was not a "boy." He was a man, with a gun. Out at 2:30 a.m. It's tragic, but his family failed him. And it's common to try to blame someone else for the outcome.

No, and you can bet that cop has lost his job and is gonna stand trial for murder.

he was shot because he tried to shot some one , and he stole the car .. and the police didnt know if he hid the gun in hes lap ..The autopsy showed he was on drugs too .Would a normal 13 y/o do that and be out 2.30 am .Seems you left out some facts didnt you !!!

There has been no suggestion of drug use by this 13 year old, although a planned autopsy might change this initial report. Use of such a drug is illegal, but not normally punished with a death sentence in the USA

Hard to say , there was definitely a gun found nearby.
While I can’t defend the police who killed George Floyd, American culture has created a society where potentially every one has a gun, and yet the police are expected to make 100% correct split second decisions, where their own lives are on the line.
From what I saw, the boy turned slowly with one hand not visible. What can the police do? Shot and you’ve killed someone innocent, don’t shoot and you die. I know what I’d do.
