Teen Shot By Cops In Brooklyn, NY

A teenager by the name of Khiel Coppin was shot and killed Tuesday night in Brooklyn by police officers. Cops fired 15 to 20 shots at the young boy, who was holding a hairbrush mistaken for a hand gun. Eyewitnesses say the boy’s hairbrush eventually dropped out of his hand, and one officer called on the others to stop shooting, but the attending offices failed to do so. Also after being shot multiple times Khiel Coppin was handcuffed and placed in the Ambulance. Khiel was then taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
This is unbeliveable and needs to stop happing.

I didnt here about this.. Usually i get shit like this on the NY direct connect.. All of us temporary out of towners have one.. But man thats a double edged sword. Everybody can think of a time where the cops came through for u (well maybe not everybody when it come to black folks) or someone u love: ie: domestic situation of family- everybody know someone the law had to peel off of someone u cared about. But all this profiling (especially up north) and shit like that needs to really start becoming accountable. These MF's really needed to be put in there place as people who Serve the law and not tyrants Above.. Thats my soap box, thank you lol - And you were beautiful on that red carpet if I may add. Happy Holidays. -Q.
