On Thursday, Chicago police released the videos of the March 29 shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo, who was armed with a handgun.
The cop chased Toledo down an alley at 2:38 a.m., yelling at him twice: “Police! Stop!” And then yelled, “Show me your f*cking hands!” Toledo kept running. The officer then told him twice to “drop it!” But by the second time he had to ask it was too late. Just eight-tenths of a second later the officer shot him in the chest.
It was only when the officer went to give first aid and check his wound that he realized the suspect was a younger male. He called for an ambulance, called for a medic kit, treated the wound, and began CPR. Later, he was heard sobbing over the incident.

While anti-cop agitators will inevitably blame the officer for his action because it’s de rigueur, Loesch had other questions after watching all the police and surveillance videos released from the shooting.
We always talk about peoples’ lives mattering. Adam Toledo’s life mattered. Adam Toledo’s life mattered enough that the people around him should never have allowed a 13-year-old child out into an alleyway in the city in the middle of the night with an armed 21-year-old who was a prohibited possessor. No one’s having that conversation! Lives matter! And they matter enough to take care of him, Sean. Lives matter enough that they don’t allow children to get in this situation.
If everybody’s going to be going off on this cop, where are all the adults in Adam Toledo’s life right now? And that is not politically incorrect to say, that is the correct thing that people should be saying right now.

If Adam Toledo’s life mattered then it is worth it to ask why it didn’t matter enough, apparently, to keep him out of that alley. As a mother, I’m asking!
What was a 13-year-old kid armed with a gun doing in a dark alley at 2:30 in the morning?

They don't really care whether the truth gets out, because the public no longer knows what's meant by "the truth."
Well, I mean, no one can tell the difference anymore between what's real and what's fake.
Anyway, the point is, I can tell you all of this, right out in the open, because it doesn't matter who knows about it. They won't know whether to believe it or not.-

A gun is a tool, Marion, no better or no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak.
