[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 343336"] That may be one of the dumbest interviews I've ever read. First of all, she (Scout's friend) complains the cops were just yelling to put down the weapon instead of playing psychologist and asking what's wrong. If someone can't understand basic commands to stop advancing towards cops and to put down a weapon, do you really think they're going to engage in a psychological treatment session? Furthermore, if you watch the video, the cops actually DID ask questions like that, saying "We don't want to hurt you." and "Alright, what are we doing here, what's going on." So her assumptions are silly, and they are incorrect based on the evidence. Second, she wonders whether something would have been different had he not been trans. At one point she wonders out loud as to if he was specifically targeted for being the President of the local LGBTQ group. I guarantee you that none of the cops there that night knew he was not gender conforming, nor would they have cared. Furthermore, she talks about how weak and frail he is like he couldn't have possibly been a scary or threatening adversary. Well, it doesn't take much strength to pull a trigger or stab a knife, so that's an illogical position on that point. Furthermore, she implies normal guys are much more strong and fit - so how exactly would that have supported her argument that a more strong and fit person would have been less likely to get shot? It makes no sense. Finally, the article refers to him as being intersex (implying he was born with characteristics of both genders). I just wonder why the parents, upon his birth, didn't have surgery for him while it was easiest and assign him a gender (either one, whichever was easiest). Leaving him with both is like making him a third world science experiment. I just simply cannot imagine how hard his life has been because of that and how much angst and pressure and uncomfortable situations and thoughts he's had over his life because of those decisions his parents made early on.
