California officer kills teen after machete attack
WILLOW CREEK, Calif. (AP) ? A California Highway Patrol officer shot and killed a 17-year-old who attacked him with a machete, and the officer was hospitalized with major injuries, officials said.
The officer had responded to a report of a car hitting a telephone pole Thursday in the Humboldt County community of Willow Creek, CHP Capt. Adam Jager told the Eureka Times-Standard (CHP: Officer attacked with machete before fatal shooting ). The officer and the boy stepped to the rear of the damaged car when the teen attacked the officer, Jager said. The officer raised his left arm to defend himself, Jager said, and also was struck on the hand and face. Jager said the officer shot the teen an undisclosed number of times before locking himself in his patrol car and calling for backup. The teenager returned to his car and was honking the horn, Jager said. Another officer arrived about 10 minutes later and found the teen lying naked next to his car, Jager said. The boy did not respond to the officer's commands, and the officer used a stun gun to place the teen in handcuffs. Jager described the teen as "completely erratic and irrational." Paramedics treated the boy, who died at the scene. Officials said they had no history with the teen and the motive for the attack was unclear. Officials did not immediately release the name of the teen or the officer, who was in stable condition. He has been on the job for two years and recently transferred from the San Francisco Bay Area to Humboldt County, about 100 miles south of the Oregon state line. Klamath-Trinity Joint Unified School District Superintendent Jon Ray told the newspaper that several area schools closed Friday in light of the incident. "It has a large impact, especially with students and kids, when they know somebody and know them very well and see them every day at school," Ray said. "It is hard to get through something like that." California officer kills teen after machete attack - Yahoo News |
If the suspect is a Caucasian white male, the white community will wish the officer a speedy recovery.
If the suspect is a African black male, the black community will protest of the reasoning why the police investigated this poor African boy who was carrying a machete minding his own business. If he's Mexican, he's most likely illegal and nobody gives a crap. |
we need to check the backgrounds of people who want to buy machetes

Know what I found interesting. There were a lot white protesters during the Ferguson shooting and the "I can't breath" incident. Have something like that happen to a white person from black cop, do you really think the black community would stand as they did for their own kind? Highly and seriously doubt it. |

But here you are making this a "race thread" anyway. Yet you complain about blacks at the same time. All you do is complain about blacks, so maybe blacks will STFU when you do. :winkwink: |

Machetes don't kill people.
People without guns use machetes to kill people. Ban People! |
It's very simple kids.... Attack a police officer and you might get killed.

Rochard said attack a Police officer and you might get killed. Not cowardly ambush a Police officer.

Slavery and violations were in the past, its time to move past that and see things for what they are TODAY, not what they were decades ago. Violent criminals get KILLED, regardless of the race. |
