Did anyone hear about the white juvenile shot and killed by police today?

Probably not, buried on page 50. Meanwhile we know what the headline still is.

(CNN)A 16-year-old, armed with a knife and what turned out to be an airsoft gun, was shot and killed Tuesday afternoon by a Maryland state trooper, a state police official said.

The shooting is the latest incident of police killing or wounding teenagers who were found with or near nonlethal guns, including recent cases in Arizona, California and Oklahoma. It also comes as police use of force is again under scrutiny following the shooting deaths in the past month of 13-year-old Adam Toledo in Chicago and 20-year-old Daunte Wright in Minnesota.

Authorities in Maryland got two 911 calls just before 1:30 p.m. Tuesday about a "guy acting suspicious" who the callers thought had a gun, said Col. Woodrow Jones, the state police secretary. The first call was disconnected when the operator asked for a location, while the second caller gave an address but not a name, he said.

Then, the male pulled out a knife and tried to get up, according to a second witness, Jones said. The trooper ordered him to drop the knife before firing again, Jones said.

The trooper reported the shooting and authorities rendered aid to the teen until emergency medical personnel arrived and took him to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

He was identified as Peyton Ham of Leonardtown.

His family issued a statement Wednesday saying it was heartbroken and shattered.

The statement, provided to CNN by family attorney Christopher Longmore, describes the teenager as "an incredibly smart, gifted sweet young man" who was an honor student attending Leonardtown High School.

So you agree, cops shouldn't be killing innocent people?

Define innocent.

He had a knife tho

[QUOTE=W8isGR8;1636232393]So you agree, cops shouldn't be killing innocent people?[/QUOTE]

Which one of any of the above shootings was the innocent one?

Is it illegal to have a knife or an airsoft gun?

*edit* read the article, disregard my last

[QUOTE=W8isGR8;1636233143]Is it illegal to have a knife or an airsoft gun?[/QUOTE]

He didn't just "have" an airsoft gun. It's illegal to point an airsoft gun at someone in a manner to make them think it's a real gun or pull a knife on someone.

Answer the question. Which one of the shootings named in the article was the innocent one?

sounds like he suicided

I mean the retard did point a BB gun at the cop. At least we can admit when our people are mongoloids.

Just comparing the news coverage, not saying the little chit didn't deserve it.

Imagine missing the point this badly. Thread is about the disparity of media reporting. Not that one victim was more innocent than another.

You dumb ****s are arguing an irrelevancy.

and you're missing the point, that those things matter when it comes to "headlines".

Also calm down hellsmann, no need to get angry

Do you disagree generally that there's media bias and narrative?

HE DINDU NUFFIN

follow the law and this chit won’t happen

[QUOTE=Luc1fer;1636234673]Do you disagree generally that there's media bias and narrative?[/QUOTE]there's strong bias depending on the source, I think we all agree on that

[QUOTE=Luc1fer;1636234673]Do you disagree generally that there's media bias and narrative?[/QUOTE]

of course there is bias & narrative. What's next

really isn't though man. OP's example here is very weak for the point he is trying to make

no it's not. It's perfect. If the "victim" was a different race it would be all over the news. The majority of African-American men killed by police that get huge media coverage were doing something similar, a lot of them outright attacking police.

Must have been a relief for local businesses when they found out he was white.

People need to be able to determine who the idiots are. Daunte Wright shouldn’t of been shot but the moron pointing the air soft at a cop did.
