Teenager Shot Dead for Holding a Wii Remote (Share this story)

[@Xackadee]

So his 13 year old sister heard the gunshot and ran down to where he was bleeding and tried to be there for him and comfort him. The policewoman told her to "Shut up" and forced her away from him while he bled to death. Chris wasn't shot by a woman. He was shot by the devil.

[@LetsleyPlays]

I have no sympathy for that women. My deepest respects and sympathy to the family.

[@thedoctor-pn1iq]

He wasn't. He was using an analogy. Stories like this make you think can you really trust the police anymore? My sincere condolences go out to the kids family and the "officer" clearly had problems and putting her on leave really shouldn't do it justice because she killed someone for no reason! That sounds to me like the attitude a serial killer has.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

Yeah that's another thing they kept leaving out of their police report too

[@Xackadee]

***** Oh for goodness sake, this isn't the time or place. Please don't try to start a religious argument.

[@Lanoman123]

Xackadee that was fucking horrible it took her that long to realize it was a Wii Remote and she told the sister to back away WHATS INSANE IS THAT IT WASNT EVEN THE RIGHT ADDRESS

[@SsJVasto]

It's appalling that the cop is on "paid leave". After reading the article, here's what happened: 1. Kid (17 years old) sits down to watch a movie on Netflix 2. knocks on door 3. Kid asks who's at the door 4. no answer 5. kid answers door 6. Police Women had her gun out and shot the kid. Not a single word was said 7. Kid's little sister heard gunshot and tries to comfort dying brother 8. Police Woman yelling at the girl to "shut up" 9. Kid dies on his doorstep. 10. Police Women (and her partner who was waiting in their car) are now on paid vacation. Apparently, the Police Officer said they were at his house because of a "probation matter". How stupid can you be to: - not double-check the address before killing someone - mistake a WiiMote for a gun - not firing this police woman (personally, I'd put her in jail or give her the death penalty) - take your gun out and shoot without asking a single question - not confirm the identity of the person you're pointing your gun at.

[@Moviefan2k4]

If anyone in that house had shot the officer who killed their kid, the officer's partner could've claimed her violence was a response to theirs.

[@SsJVasto]

But that's not the case. He was holding a lethal WiiMote

[@osamael-touny3326]

Giving her the death penalty is just plain barbaric. Sure I'd want the person who killed one of my family members to die but you got to have self control. She should have been fired. No one would accept her when she asks to apply for a job which means her life is already destroyed.

[@SsJVasto]

Fox Lord No, I know it's a bit harsh to say that, but she's in a position where a single mistake can cost lives. She has made MANY mistakes in this scenario. She can't even get off on "it was an accident", as it was pre-meditated: she had her gun out before anyone had opened the door or anything; she was ready to take a shot. Now she's all crying saying she regrets it. Yeah, I can believe that: she regrets destroying her career. She doesn't regret killing some kid, she regrets how the world now views her. Anyway, I'd spit in her face if I saw her IRL.

[@lotondlegovachy1791]

Fox Lord so your saying she doesn't deserve death? heh tell me THAT'S not barbaric :p

[@Oz_of_Astora158]

You get death sentence by killing a cop... How about that cop gets the same for killing a defenseless kid

[@samschilmeister5834]

Yeah, if your a police officer you can go on a killing spree with no consequences

[@OckhamAsylum]

The problem here isn't with just police in general, like every cop across America, but with the department in which this woman worked. It sounds corrupted to me. I don't even know what to say to this. A kid shot for holding a Wii remote? Unacceptable. There are no two ways about it. This woman should be jailed for the rest of her life and this department needs to be placed under heavy investigation. I feel like I need to stress that this gross abuse of power isn't something that every cop is guilty of. There are lots of crooked cops out there, without a doubt, but they're not all bad. My dad is a cop, and he and his cohorts are some of the most respectable people you could ever know. I just can't stand seeing idiots who are unqualified to wear the badge tarnishing the reputation of the police and turning people against them. This story just pisses me off in so many ways. An innocent 17 year old is dead, the department is trying to weasel out of the consequences, and to top it all off, this gives good cops around the nation a bad rep. I'm thinking that something needs to happen to make becoming a cop a much more difficult process so that not just any twitchy moron can get a gun and a badge and make good officers look bad.

[@TheQuarterGuy]

The officers involved in this debacle MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE for their crimes. It's cops like this that give the police a bad name.

[@gabechapman7840]

[@PlanarCollapse2]

[@visoredgruntR34]

What really doesn't make sense is even if the police woman believed the Wiimote was a gun she was still supposed to give a warning to "drop the weapon"

[@codypriceYouTubeAddednumbers]

Rainversey this kid was white. Can you even wrap your head around what would have happened if he was black? Do you remember the original Robocop movie when they gun him down before he becomes Robocop? Something like that.

[@lectordreadwood9255]

yes something tells me this police woman was looking for an excuse to shed blood her training dictates that if she thought he was holding a she is either supposed to draw her weapon yell "DROP YOUR WEAPON" an determine whether or not the subject is actually holding a weapon or tackle and disarm and determine whether or not it's a gun later, if your following your training you shouldn't be that jumpy

[@IronOrePickaxe]

Only my second video of yours I've seen, and it just goes to show how stupid some people are in the world. You bring up some brilliant points and I look forward to watching more of your videos.

[@agge-1583]

***** I agree with this.

[@AQworldy]

***** Wow, actually same here. 2nd video... this is bullshit.

[@HatsuneMiku3D]

Sickening - I don't know what's worse here..the fact that kid was gunned down in cold blood, or the fact the officer gets to take a paid vacation whilst her colleagues cover it up. I don't deny the fact that there is a lot of good cops, but that fact is constantly overshadowed by all these careless and senseless acts of extreme brutality, and it seems its happening more and more often.

It bothers the ever loving shit out of me that a court could literally just be like yeah this is totally legit www.popehat.com/2010/04/14/embarrass-a-cop-in-maryland-thatll-be-five-years-in-jail/

If you speak of the Templar Knights, i don't see how they could, since it's their own free will to take free will.

[@phantomvulpe791]

Here's something you're going to love about the incident. It turns out the cop was a woman who didn't want to be identified and was bursting in tears when she shot the kid. She left the police force because of this. That just goes to show how stupid cops can be.

[@saxonweed2846]

I'm glad I live in Australia, our cops are friendly.

dam it was a white kid that's so tragic.

[@Thebrotherhoodofgaming]

i cant even begin to explain how pissed off this makes me

[@Phantom.Gaming64]

9 years later, and this story still gets me fuming with rage. And what is shocking to me, as far as I understood the situation, that "officer of law" who killed an innocent man in cold blood walked free and didn't get punished for the manslaughter she caused.

[@manlazy602]

The Officer who shot him should be charged for Murder.

[@Armonzii]

Chris would've been a GREAT Marine. You wanna know what just made me lose it? When the sister tried to help, but the Policewoman said, "Shut Up," PUT HER AT GUNPOINT, and forced her to stand there, crying as her older brother went away. RIP, Chris. You didn't deserve this... Not one bit...

[@Sigfee]

It's crazy to think that this kid was as old as me and is now dead because someone decided to take his life without warning. That kinda scares me. The officer needs to be punished for this.

[@Xarnoa]

the thing that irritates me is that when an officer is murdered, it's 10 times worse than a normal person being killed but when a cop kills someone without good reason it just gets ignored, all murders should be treated equally and that's exactly what this was, a murder.

[@sentertha]

the "i dont want to live on this planet anymore" meme REALLY apply's here

[@TheNobody-ru5xg]

[@MRcomics09]

WOW! For a cruel and unusual punishment like that for the kid, I think the cop should be sentenced to be tied up against the wall in prison. You might think the death penalty is better but think about it for a second. When you're dead, you're shut down for life. When you're tied up against the wall, it's even worse because if your body is itching or you have a cramp, well you have to deal with it

[@fwwaller]

Even if the person looks like they are holding a weapon, DON'T THE POLICE USUALLY TELL THEM TO PUT IT DOWN FIRST????

[@foolmoi]

nah in the USA it's more " shoot first, ask questions later." you know what i mean.

[@fwwaller]

few years back I knew someone who was a police officer, who actually told me that if they think they see someone with a weapon, they pull out their guns and tell them to put it down, even if the person tries to attack them, they usually shoot em in a nonlethal place.

[@AyoBreh1]

By the time it takes you to tell them to put it down, they're already shooting you. It's you or them.

[@fwwaller]

yeah but cops are taught to draw their guns quickly, so the likelihood of them being shot first is very low.

[@AceSimGaming]

You think so, but it seems like the cops go by "shoot first, ask questions later" now. It's quite sad when you cant even trust the people who are there to protect you.

[@Rathial]

These stories piss me off and the cops never get punished -.-

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

many times they even get to continue doing their work and their time off away is all with pay no less. So they get to go on vacation basically for doing something criminal

That's nothing, The cops shot a 13y old child because he was holding a toy in his hand And the cop is still running free The US is becoming more and more a Police State pretending to be a Global Police "Land of the free and brave" my ass, Brave enough to send drones to bomb hospitals and schools or shoot unarmed kids in your own country, and free that as soon as you say something you go to jail for "Terrorist"

[@Rathial]

AlphaOmegaSin If it was a normal person who accidently shot a kid they would probably be so wracked with guilt that they would confess as to what happened; seeing how they always try to cover these things up it shows what quality of person they really are. :(

I post these kinds of stories all the time on Facebook and it only gets a few comments, I post a story on some celebrity gossip (as an experiment) and people are commenting on that post for days.

Yeah that shit always fucks my head up, to hell with something important that actually affects everyone let's see what random celebrity is eating or wearing or doing today and always without fail make it front page news. I mean to hell with talking about injustice and something that could happen to literally any other person here in the United States -_- Fucking media man....

This is for those people who say they could have thought it was a weapon: police are trained to DISARM them, not blast the shit out of them!!!!

[@SuicideResistPicture]

Rules of engagement or (ROE), is that you must identify your self as an officer, also you must first warn the suspect to drop the weapon, if they don't comply you warn them again. If they then threaten your life you may shoot. ROE aren't meant for kill on sight, it's meant to avoid that.

[@ElementalHeroJoe]

If the wii remote did look suspiciously like a weapon (which anyone with decent eye sight can tell it's not) shouldn't the first thing an officer is trained to do is tell the person to stay still and drop whatever it is they're holding? This is truly heartbreaking

[@ZobmieRules]

"His 13-yr-old little sister heard the gun shot and ran over to the door to find her brother bleeding and crying. The little sister held her brother and tried to comfort him as he cried in pain, according to reports. That’s when the female cop pointed her gun at the child and said “Shut up!” according to reports, forcing the girl away. Moments later Christopher bled to death. Both the female officer and the officer who was with her have received “paid administrative leave” as the investigation proceeds." Quoted from the article. This is fucking disgusting.

[@MunkyDrag0n]

If it had been a standoff after a car chase, then I could understand the officer being nervous, exhausted, and filled with adrenaline. However, the boy was shot at the front door of his own house. The officer was coming to pick up the boy's father for violating probation. There is only 1 possible scenario. The officer did not give a damn about violating probation, she came to shoot the father from her own anger. It was very unfortunate the boy was the one who answered the door and got killed by some crazy, wannabe vigilante.

Don't call the murderer "the police", that belittles the crime, making it sound like it was a police accident. He's a murderer who was a policeman. He could've been a doctor, the president, or a pizza guy, and be equally a murderer. Because shit like this isn't even remotely near "an accident". Also, stop making murderers policemen. Or give citizens counter-murderer-policemen rights so we can defend ourselves from criminals who also policemen.

Alright, this is the final straw for me. After hearing all of these stories of police officers screwing up and going insanely overboard throughout the past year or so, this story f*cking enrages me. I'm sick and tired of police officers, who's jobs are to protect and serve citizens, simply "shoot and act, then think and justify later". I know not all police officers are this bad, which makes this worse. People are supposed to trust local police. How do they honestly expect citizens to feel safe around these people, if incidents like this keep up? As a side note, someone needs to find out how long the officer who shot the teenager has actually been active.

Mauri .tanga Haha fucking true. On topic though: People dont riot because this is an exception, a rare occurance. Blacks being shot by cops for minor infringements like speeding or not listening to cop's orders? Not a rare occurance. Also, white people do riot occasionally, but the media calls that "enraged locals" or "violent protests", which both carry a sense of entitlement or righteousness, rather than calling it a riot sounds antisocial and criminal, although in effect they are the same thing.

[@michaelconklin5809]

When you make videos like these with your rage they remind me of the song 10,000 Days by Tool. There's a really slow build up until an extreme outlet and then slowly dies down and rises back up and it's amazing. Not much to with the video but love these ones keep up the good work!

[@gabeplg]

People should be outraged when this kind of shit happens. Try to put yourself, or your son in this kids shoes. How would you feel? Such a sad story.

[@Puffy13759]

Heard this from Rich yesterday I still hope the cop gets the same punishment...

[@iTunsiscool26]

I heard from ReviewTechUSA, that apparently when the officer knocked on the door he asked who it was. And then when no one answered (Which is understandable) he went to go answer the door and the cop saw the Wii mote thinking it was a gun and shot him in the chest and he died. If I were a judge, and someone tried to pay me off, I'd have them put in cuffs and I would have it known that, that side of the party tried to bribe me off. It's really stupid that this cop is probably going to get away with it. And then what will the family do? Nothing. They can't do shit. And that's the worst part of it all. Something horrible happened to this person and the family can't do anything. Hopefully they CAN do something.

[@BREBBERS]

Woah really? What a bitch!

[@BREBBERS]

Damn

[@richardpruett9464]

I would take justice in my own hands if that was my brother

[@PKM9107]

Sorry to bring race into this, but if this kid was black it would be all over the news. I mean ALL OVER. Unfortunately most people can't see past race in this "great" country of ours. It's still a disgusting case no matter what he was, black, white, gay, straight, fat skinny whatever. But I didn't even hear about this till I say you alpha. Trust me you wouldn't be one of the only ones reporting this if he was black. And that's coming from a black. Anyway, it's a sad day and my heart goes out to his family.

[@insane-aradia3090]

Agreed.

[@PKM9107]

***** What I'm saying is this case had nothing to do with race. A white person shot a white kid. Foolish, despicable nonetheless. But if he was black, they would've with no doubt, made this a crime fueled by racism and ignorance.

[@natenoki2419]

I just shared this story with my parents (who have bought into the anti-video-game propaganda big time) - I shared your links and found a local news link as it's about the only kind of news source they trust...they told me to quit making up stuff to paint gamers in a good light and cops in a bad light. .... WHAT. THE. FUCK. is wrong with people???

[@Anonymous1337lulz]

tell your parents to stop being fascists Nazi sympathizers, from another gamer.

[@q165359]

They are idiots!

[@insane-aradia3090]

Your parents probably support Obama as well, don't they? Do they push for gun control, too? I'd estimate so.

[@natenoki2419]

Insane-Aradia Actually no on both counts - staunch fundie bible-thumping conservatives.

[@enforcerridley158]

Bible thumping conservatives, whom typically do not live remotely in reality?! That actually explains a lot.

[@TheGeoshark]

The police are going to call Saul.

[@Seydaschu]

I'll bet within the next 20 or 30 years, the 1st scene from ASDFMovie is going to literally happen. The "Watch out, he's got a nose!" scene.

[@psychobeatsgaming6263]

Hopefully this women who shot the teenager will be in hell...

[@valesiren8]

You gotta love how Alpha tells it like it is, an explores any an all rebuts or reasons anyone can come up with, then still tells it like it is!

[@MercuriusStudios]

This now lead to the question: "Who'll police the police?" Just within a year, there's a lot of policemen, abusing their power to protect themselves over shooting innocent people without any reason. This brings up what caused the 1992 LA Riot: police brutality that lead to acquitting those officers. And here we are...2014...the year that police brutality is now becoming a thing, AGAIN! And I'm proud for the family of the teenager for fighting back, suing the cops over a lie they put out. Another thing is, why can't the cops say who they are, like any normal human being, or bring a warrant for the guy's arrest? Surely, they would speak up to be notified. But alas, "Trigger Happy" had to shoot the person without even saying the most logical thing a cop would say: "Drop your gun!" *sigh* The police, in this day and age, have stooped to a new low.

[@indigotyrannova6113]

stop reffrencing countdown to final crisis

[@samrodrigues3199]

"Who watches the watchmen?" Countries like the US could really do with unarmed police. It works for the United Kingdom, it can well fucking work for anybody else.

[@indigotyrannova6113]

Sam Rodriguez that's actually a good idea

[@CharityDiary]

I really don't get how people have this stuff happen to them, and happen to people close to them, and they just go on with their lives... If something like this happened to me, or my mom, or my kitty, it probably wouldn't be the last news story I'd be in...

[@avmf8]

So let me get this straight. They go to a guys house that breaks parole, kill his kid and then still charge him with breaking parole WTF. The very least they could do is let him off his violation considering they will sweep his kids murder under the rug. Really that cop(or pig in this case) that shot that kid should be tried for murder.

[@gal10487]

I'll be sharing this with my friends and family. Ty alpha for letting us know. My heart goes out to the family.

[@mathisc151]

This guy is from my home town, literally live a few streets down. Really sad that the police get away with shit like this.

[@RanterInShades]

Another addition to the Tales of Police Brutality.

Is your book on Amazon?

[@DeathMetalThrasher]

It's stories like these that make me wish I lived on Mars man...

[@markusclements9373]

i bet video games will be blamed on this bs too

[@awaisanwar104]

You dont need training to tell the difference between a gun and a fucking Wii remote. The average human being can simply identify these kinds of things, but question is, how did that police officer get his job? Did this police officer recieve training or did he just get shoved into the force with a pistol and sent out to look like a hero? What a fucking joke to humanity. He now has given the police force a very bad name(not like they had that great of a name) and in court they will brush them off simply without answering an almost common sense question, why the hell shoot a 17 year old holding a wii remote.

[@tilteddomino44]

Another unavoidable part of this incident is that some news outlet will use this to say guns caused it, and video games make kids more violent.
