if they yelled for 20 full seconds to drop it then they clearly didn't want to shoot him(not surprising, who wants to shoot a kid?) At the same time how in danger did they really feel?
Definitely a lose/lose for the cops I think. Sad either way.

If you are making the decision to kill someone then you have to be damn sure you are right.
It has nothing to do with being psychic, it has to do with having a massive responsibility of protecting children in school. The police officer is guilty and needs to be locked up. The police department was incompetent in their ability to train their office and heads need to roll. There is nothing even remotely justifiable in shooting some kid over a pellet gun.

You want to lock the officers up for protecting the other children in the school?

Last time I checked children dying at school is a pretty good indication that the police office failed to protect the children. The fact that it was the police officer's own stupidity and violence he failed to protect the child from only makes it worse for the police officer.
The man was tasked with an enormous responsibility. The badge, the gun, and the job. He/she failed to live up to any of them. The cop needs to be locked up.

I would NEVER want to be a cop. You can't win for losing. Everyone hates you whether you do the right thing or the wrong. I would dissuade anyone from joining the force.

I am pretty sure needlessly killing children is high up on the list of things people get mad about.

I surely don't disagree with that. I think the cops were wrong here. That being said it doesn't change what I said. i would never want to be a cop or suggest anyone become one.

15 years old in 8th grade is not all that wacky. It means he will graduate high school at age 19, a year older than most, and 2 years older than a very few. Perhaps he was held back a grade, who knows, but that age is not that crazy to think about.
Yeah it mostly depends on timing of the birthdate and at what age the school district at the time will allow a kid to start the whole process.
My daughter is 14 in 7th grade and was never held back.
