The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office recently released drone and body camera footage showing a tense standoff in February with two young brothers — ages 7 and 9. The deputies are heard repeatedly urging the boys to drop the gun.

    At one point, Sheriff John Allen said one of the boys raised the gun and pulled the trigger, but it malfunctioned.

    They always say this shit like a pre-excuse as to why they opened fire

      they didnt open fire tho, a cop had enough and snatched it with the most fed up parent energy i’ve seen in a while

      also, the article doesnt mention it, but the whole exchange lasted more then six minutes, during which cops and the kids’ parents were constantly urging them to drop it, and they just passed it between each other instead
