Chicago police union boss says shooting of Adam Toldeo, 13, was '100% justified

Chicago police union boss says shooting of Adam Toldeo, 13, was '100% justified' and claims officer 'did everything he possibly could to the letter of the law'

John Catanzara, president of the Chicago Police Union, appeared Thursday on Cuomo Prime Time on CNN

Catanzara defended Officer Eric Stillman as 'justified' in the shooting

Adam Toledo was shot dead by a Chicago cop during a foot chase on March 29
Chicago's police review board on Thursday released the bodycam footage

Time lapse photos show that the officer had 8/10ths of a second to determine if that weapon was still in his hands or not. Period. There's no way a rational person can say they can process that and their muscle reaction would be less than one second,' Catanzara said on Cuomo Prime Time.

He also defended Stillman, saying 'in reality, an average human being could not block someone from slapping him in the face in less time than that...

It's a good reason why the officer only shot one. He would have been justified to shoot multiple times.'

'The officer did everything he possibly could to the letter of the law and the guidelines of the Chicago Police Department.'

A spokesman for Little Village has addressed the issue in sensible terms. The root cause of the problem which puts kids into that predicament in the first place needs to be focused on. Not blame shifting.

The Mayor can't seem to backtrack on her initial bleeding heart comments from days ago.
TV reporters claiming extensive knowledge but have none are fueling the fires of those who seek punishment. In spite of the few contradictory facts slowly being released.
The radicals are of course preaching the same rehearsed rhetoric they always do. ( just add current name to the blank space )
Attorneys ignoring everything but a 13 year old was shot while his hands were empty. They smell the money.

Thankfully, so far the protest crowds have been relatively small and peaceful aside from blocking traffic. So far...

I feel sorry for the officer regardless of how "justified" the shooting was.

I'm just curious why all your DM posts have multiple repeats of sentences. It happens a lot.

Biggest race baiter on TV (Don Lemon of CNN) said that it was a justifiable shoot based on decision time.

I'm just curious why all your DM posts have multiple repeats of sentences. It happens a lot.

The top line was a repeat of the my post heading and the 2nd line is my actual post adding more to what was said in the heading post...

I don't always do that it that way but sometimes I forget to remove the heading from my actual post. When I do that it I just incorporate it into my full post as I did this one ....Either way it works, and the heading then becomes part of my whole post!

Yep -- justified or not, he's toast.

Veteran Chicago prosecutor is put on LEAVE for not telling court Adam Toledo, 13, was unarmed the moment CPD officer shot him dead - when teen had dropped gun a second before

Friendly sources with CPD claim the kid wasn't yet known to the officer at the time of the shooting. Since then the ELEVEN YEAR OLD IN THE MEDIA PHOTOS has been positively identified as a gang member. Street name "Lil' Homicide" had gang tats beneath his clothing and was suspect in three separate fairly recent shootings.

Things conveniently being ignored.
