Usa, a video shows an agent shooting a 13-year-old who raises his hands

by admin

The video recorded by the bodycam of the policeman who killed, on the evening of March 29, a 13-year-old boy during a chase in the Illinois metropolis was published on the Chicago police website. The video is over seven minutes long and contains some of the most shocking images ever released by the police.

In the video, which includes the first part of the arrival on the spot, from minute 1 and 46 seconds the whole scene is documented. The agent gets out of the car, and starts running, chasing a boy. He yells at him “stop, stop”, then “drop it” referring to a possible gun, then “hands your hands, show your hands”. Adam Toledo, a young Hispanic, with “Just Do It” sweatshirt, jeans, and hat, starts to turn around, just raises his hands, and is hit.

The images document the last moments of the boy, bloody, breathing hard, eyes wide open, right hand shrunken. The policeman tries to ask him where he was hit. She lifts his sweatshirt and sees that the hole is above his chest.

Attempts by the police to rescue him, giving him heart massage, go on for a few seconds, while the policeman walks away, panting. The department has always maintained that Toledo had pointed the gun at the agent, but from the vision of the ‘frame’ the boy does not seem to be holding any weapons.

The images show that he does not have time to raise his hands that he is knocked down. During the video, the agent, with a flashlight, illuminates the area around and points to a gun, on the ground, near a fence, a couple of meters from where the boy was shot. Nineteen seconds passed between the time the officer got out of the car and the time he shot Toledo. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot urged citizens to stay calm and let an independent body judge what really happened that night.
