If you point a weapon at a Police Officer, I guarantee that someone is going to die! And at 16 my bet it is you as the officer has a lot more experience and practice with his weapon. Too bad you will never see tomorrow, but you reap what you sow thug wanna be.

16yo?! something is seriously wrong with our youth. you can't pump out babies without guidance, instruction, a sense of right and wrong given to them as they mature. Or, as we have seen, they won't mature in any sense of the word.
