Bethanie...I don't deal with hypotheticals only absolutes. One absolute is this kid is a scum bag. Strutting like he owned the world when he walked into the court room today. The Election is over and the "yes we can" attitude frankly isn't going to work! So you keep on loving and trusting everybody! You will end up a statistic! I wish the family of the officer well. I hope a speedy recovery.

This kid is nuts! Does he think it is a TV episode & all will be over at the next hour? No conscience, no morals. This kid, and he does look like a child, needs serious time away to re-learn human values

Amblack...you need to get the chip off your shoulder and stop coming to conclusions that are based on your opinion. Nobody says that other people besides cops are less important. For every incident, story, situation or whatever the case may be, there are different levels and different details that make those situations different. A cop getting shot in the back of the head unprovoked by someone who wasnt even involved with that cop at the time does make this more news worthy then these drug dealing thugs that are shooting each other up. And I beg to differ, if another person was shot in the back of the head in the same fashion and who is fighting for their life, say a fireman, mailman, or anyone who is not in the drug game, we would see follow up and additional stories on that person. As far as bethanie is concearned, you make me sick referring to this kid as a BOY. He was MAN enough to shoot a cop which in my OPINION he is a P.O.S I guarantee that this mother only brought her son in because it would be almost impossible to keep him on the run...it takes money and resources to be on the run from something like this and Im willing to bet she has neither. Not to mention the heat the police were putting on that neighborhood.

One last thing because I was just made aware of Colt's comment to me. I just wanted to reply because your lack of intelligence just amazes me. Do you have children? Let's say that was your child? Put yourself in that mother's shoes for two seconds ... Or the mother of the officer ... The 14 year olds mother was upset and crushed that her son did something like this, and you don't know his life or what/why she didn't stop it or couldn't. For the officer's, you are all making her son's injury look like it was pointless. We aren't supposed to have any system that would help children in this ones position? Let me break this down for you. He was in a juvenile education system, which he wouldn't have been in if it weren't for police, so what you're really trying to say is his job and his line of duty was for nothing? That's the most rediculous thing I've ever heard. You can assume and judge me all you want for wanting to be a good person, that's okay and I hold nothing against you for it. You don't know me, so therefore you'll never know who I am and I totally get this. I can tell you two facts tonight though, there's a 14 year old boy who may be breathing still, but his life is gone tonight after turning himself in and there's an innocent officer who is in the hospital tonight fighting for his life. Unfortunately for you, you don't remember this and don't have a heart to the family's of both that will read this. (Don't bother saying you do, it's quite obvious you don't). That's okay, I do, and that's what matters to me at the end of the day.

SadDay, thank you for your wishes in meaning no disprespect towards me ... Unfortunately it's already been beyond done, this society, this ROCHESTER society in which I happen to be apart of it has just reminded me once again how cruel you all are and how none of you want to ever do anything but criticize. I'm done, I'm just one of the few million that wants to see the world be a better place, and think that maybe there's hope for other people. Maybe, just maybe, it's not me though all along that's been living in that fantasy land and maybe it's all of you that need to educate yourselves and realize what our society has done in the past OBVIOUSLY hasn't worked, and that your sources may not always be correct in their information, like 13 WHAM. I love that they have had constant reporting, but I do have to say that I discredit them in the sense that they have conflicting information with other stations such as RNews. You know what though? RNews seemed to have more of the pieces that fit the holes in the puzzle that I have been trying to figure out for myself. I'll stick with them now, and I really hope you all can someday realize what an impact you're NOT making. Taking that extra hour or two, or 3 minutes to be there for someone or to have a heart. Have a great life. My prayers and thoughts go out to both families and the officer shot, this is my last post.

Bethanie...no disrespect directed towards you, just voicing my opinion.

Ditto on that one Colt.....it's a little late for them to start the caring act.

to bad this isn't the wild west...Justice would be done swiftly and quick!

And the recent shootings in the city have been one on one, taking each other out and we're supposed to be upset over that! They are doing us all a favor and they don't even realize it!

Ahh...makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. What a nice Mother! What we need to do as a community is be patient and show him the love and peace that we all want. Embrace him, guide him, nurture him into the being the best he can be has all the tools now. So run on down to that cell Bethanie, run and show him the way!
