What is this boy doing out at that hour? Is he homeless and comes from Kakaako homeless camp? Here we go again. If he is from Micro send him back.
Until we start filing charges against and hold the PARENTS responsible, parents will shrug off their responsibility.
Lucky he was not shot.
What this boy did was unwise in the extreme. Brandishing anything that can be taken for a weapon in front of a law enforcement officer is indicative of poor self control, a lack education or awareness of current events, or a mental illness of some kind. He was very fortunate the officer demonstrated self-restraint.
All the above…
I guess he didn’t want to make it to his 17th birthday. Still might not.
It is still dark at 5:52am. Impossible to distinguish a real gun from a replica. How did the officer refrain from shooting this pupuli kid.
An invitation to commit suicide! Stupid genes emerging?
