Jamie Gonzalez, a 15 year old eighth grader, brought a pellet gun to school. Police were called in. The young student had the pellet gun out and since police say it looked like a real gun, the police shot the student dead.

  • Of course this kid shouldn't have pointed the gun. Still, it boils me that the police couldn't make themselves utter the words "plastic $39 BB pistol." (It won't fire pellets). They had to call it a "Semi auto, .17 caliber, carbon dioxide powered pellet handgun."....a lot of garnishment if you ask me.

    So ask yourself....if they stretch the truth about this, are they accurate when they say that the kid "engaged them?" The press needs to stop being sheep and press these guys on answers like this.

  • @gsd6600 Interesting; I hadn't heard the detailed description. I had a C02 powered BB pistol when I was young; I used to to plink cans, etc. They are quite weak and can only do very minor harm. Granted, though, it did look a lot like a genuine gun.

  • @jennah101 A warning shot?? seriously . the kid was stupid enough to point the gun at an officer. The officer did the correct action. If you don't have any respect for the authority that's your deal. If someone points a gun at you or one of your kids, your not thinking of a warning shot, your thinking "someone please shoot this idiot". The kid had plenty of of warnings to put his weapon down. No sympathy for him. Good Job Brownsville PD. That officer deserves a medal and some time off.

  • @cosmicrase First of all... Use proper punctuation. My 2 year old can write better than you. Second, I am a Hispanic, and was born and raised in Brownsville, TX. Who took whos land away... the U.S? Its called war. There are treaties that are signed and Mexico decided to give it up. You need to get your facts right first. F%$king hippie.

  • @gsd6600 there is a conspiracy against mexicans specially our youth wich the people in power and manny of their followers are doing the impossible to criminalize them to eliminate their vote when they come at age by giving them a felony case and put in jail we all know your plan of demonizing one and favoring the other your nazi tactics do not and will not stop me or any like me am here dont i!

  • they had to see that it was not a real gun but they took the shot sad to know he was a minority what if= it was in beverly hills or any other city where upper class people live ? i do not think the police would do the same crime i just hope mexican american citizen will forgive white america for all the terrible things they have done to this good people!

  • Weed out the stupid before they blossom into monsters.

  • @Cavemaann1 If he was such a smart boy then why did he do a stupid thing like bring a gun to school and point it at police without knowing that the consequences could have cost him his life? I feel bad for the boy and the family but the cops did what they are trained to do. A stupid mistake cost your friend his life.

  • oh they got sum time off they are on administrative leave i feel bad for them :/
