He will start at about 10 (css). But definitely start much younger at other games.

That´s actually the right age for the game CSS ... for children 10-12 years old.

And thats the big difference between being a private citizen and a paid public servant. I dont even disagree with you but it comes with the job. Even the military cant fire until fired upon or given orders that say other wise.

Pretty big difference between being expelled and being dead.

Wow - yep, on first glance I thought that was some new Glock pistol!

I cant argue with that. Like i said i wasnt there so i cant pass judgement on it. I just hope it wasn't a movie style i see a weapon and blast away deal. Either way from what it sounds the kid had a death wish and got what he was looking for.

Some people have stated that the cops should have aimed for a non-lethal area of the kid's body, but anyone that I have talked to that has been through military or police training tells me that in most training scenarios you are taught to aim for the chest or head.

Unfortunate, and saddening, but totally avoidable on the part of the kid.

Well if thats what happened then fuck him. He made a bad choice. Yeah to many watched lethal weapon and got the idea that you shot at someones leg to stop them. You always aim center mass. If hes lucky your a bad shot and hit him in the shoulder.
