White House press secretary Jen Psaki called the video of 13-year-old Adam Toledo getting shot by a Chicago police office 'chilling' during Friday's press briefing. Psaki said she hadn't spoken to President Joe Biden before the morning briefing, so didn't know if he'd watched it, but said it served as a 'reminder' that 'too often in this country law enforcement uses unnecessary force, too often resulting in the death of black and brown Americans.' She said the shooting was unnecessary after Chicago cops released bodycam footage showing the boy had a gun and dropped it just before the officer opened fire.

And all the times that cops are killed each year maybe also indicates that they don't use necessary force often enough!
Jen Airhead Psaki needs to go do a few nights of "ride-alongs" with the DC police to see just how often cops have to make life and death decisions in a heartbeat. Maybe she won't be quite so ignorant if she does that!!!

The kid had a gun in his hand. There is a picture of it on DM.

Just remember....
Under Obama's egregious "rules of engagement," in both Iraq and Afghanistan, a soldier would be court martialed for shooting AFTER an enemy combatant dropped his weapon.
So, we're back to that, only domestically.
Libs only fight wars that cannot win in ways that ensure they cannot win them.

I don’t believe that she knows all the facts and let her mouth overload her butt by commenting off the cuff like that.

Jen Psaki reminds us here of every faulty fire arm; she is shooting off her mouth!

Did the idiot bother to explain what a 13 year old was doing out with a gun at 0238 HRS on a monday morning? Anything about what his parents were doing? Normally, children are home in bed so that they can go to school in the morning.

How to choose the unfortunate officer to have Paski accompany him/her on a “ride along”. From what we see, it certainly wouldn’t be a Pleasure Cruise. Nobody deserves to be punished that badly. We all have to suffer enough fools in our day to day encounters.

... and of course Socky has experience in police work, in dark alleys at night, and in dealing with people with deadly weapons.. Apparently she’s in her job because she knows it all. She really needs to do a ride-along in Chicago some night.

OK, let's talk about the personal, armed security Orange Woman gets at taxpayer expense.

Just remember...The (P) in Jen Psaki's name is silent which is impossible. Is there any chance that this smarmy little know- nothing could also be silent? I am tired of being lied to everyday at her news briefings.

Correction, Jen. This shooting is a reminder that anyone who points a gun at a police officer doing his job is putting their life in serious danger regardless of their age. Where was this kid's unwed welfare-drawing momma at 2am in the morning. And whose gun did he have. And which gang was he being initiated to.

The interpretation of Psaki’s talking point is the Biden tyrants seek to federalize police. That is integral to the democrat objective to transform police to a modern day Gestapo, an enforcement arm of the dem party with the primary function to spy on, bully, and perform raids at homes of political adversaries.

Sorry for second reply, but number 1 (should have read it first), sorry, but if she went on a ride along it wouldn't make any difference...some people are just plain stupid, and you can't fix stupid...

RAISED A PISTOL while facing the officer who just ran him down... Not only did he have a gun that had just been fired, he raised it. Stupid kid didn't think to drop it before raising his arms, but if she expects cops to let the perp. aim and fire at them before returning fire, then she needs to be the first cop on the beat to practice that new engagement.

#6. The Chicago Police believe that he and his armed companion were shooting at passing motor vehicles.

Bull manure. The dead person had gunshot residue on his hands, meaning that he had shot the gun. And he ran with a gun in hand, and turn to the cops suddenly and was shot.
IMO, a 'good shoot'.
Lots of really terrible choices by the dead person.

I cannot even imagine what giblets it takes to be a Chicago cop - and bless you, all the Chicago cops for getting out there every day to do your always dangerous, often thankless jobs. I do believe if Mz Saki had to dodge criminals with weapons instead of fawning 'journalists' with softball questions, she might have a better understanding of what necessary force is. And that Drive Along idea - it should be mandatory. For a whole bunch of them.

Why isn't the mother charged with child neglect because her kid was out running the streets with a gun and felon ?
All of these criminals didn't "matter" until they became a cash cow for families. Ben Crum is becoming a millionaire.

I'm with #9. Where are the parents and how did this kid get a gun? Everyone should be asking this question. If you want to hold anyone responsible than look at those that are raising this child. Also, at 13 they should know better. BUT once again, his actions are from his upbringing.

Orange Woman is an ignorant fool, mouthing what she is told. Following in the footsteps of Hussein - "...the police acted stupidly..." I can't imagine having to earn a living that way.

This is totally OT, but I want to share. I live in the country (as in Hooterville, where we use possums for watchdogs and hot owls for chickens) and there is one guy on the local news who calls her Jan Pasocky when he reads the news. Cracks me up.

No it actually reminds us that the black community is letting their children run wild at night with weapons and join gangs that get them killed. How about you keep your kids home safe at 2 in the morning? I think that will go a lot further than trying to get guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens and defunding the police that they need to keep families safe from thugs/

Men who get shot often drop their weapon after being shot. To use Joe Biden's observation couldn't the police train to shoot the gun out of their hands or just wound them in the leg instead of killing them.

So the Police should stand down and let some deranged kid shoot up the city? Great idea! Let's direct him to DNC headquarters for openers.

Good observation, #15. Gang initiation is a very likely reason behind this incident. Where would a 13-year-old get an expensive, illegal gun unless a gang provided him with it? He certainly wasn't juggling work with school and still able to be out in the middle of the night.
