The Dept of Justice has investigated, I believe they had the facts needed to arrive at the conclusion that no charges be filed

the whole intention of the federal case was to receive money out the ordeal, i think if that cop who shot him had a good reputation in the black community, he wouldnt have this pending against him, but the fact he was known to be a racist and had a history of incidents within the black community as far as harrassment goes, he will still be guilty until proven innocent

coreyology said:

i didnt know children had civil rights@ NO NAME, cops do not think, they react, anything that looks like a gun they will fire in self defense, because what if the officer was hit and killed, am I defending him no, but i would assume they gave the boy ample time to put down the toy gun, they thought was a weapon

Bartlettman said:

I disaree slightly. It is about money. I don't think the reputation of the cop matters, only his color. It is a chance for people to profit. The fact the DOJ says no charges weakens the suit filed by the family.
November 9, 2007 3:45 PM
 

Bartlettman said:

You may be right that the cop did not think, just reacted. If you are faced with a man with a gun, you may just react as well.

farrow's mother may accept the fact, the federal government or the city of west memphis is not going to give her any money, she is suing for 125 million, for what, i didnt know you can pay for emotional damage, yes this is sad her son is gone, but seriously she needs to stop trying to get some money because it wont happen,

I think I heard that justice comes with a price, so thats what the farrows are trying to do get the price.

cmac said:

First off I am truly upset that Bob Paudert didn't go see the family immediately after the tragedy took place. This speaks poorly of the police department. Therefore, I can see why it seems to Mrs Farrow that he was rubbing the letter from the DOJ in her face. And maybe he had a toy gun and maybe he didn't. However, I still don't believe the officer just shot young DeAunte because he was black. My brother who is an officer once killed someone. He says that he felt threatened and  it was late in a high crime area as well. Of course he was suspended until the investigation was complete, but as a cop he says he couldn't think about is that a gun that man has pointed at me or he could have lost his life. I think we should all start looking at this story from both sides. As a mother I can't imagine what she is going through because I've never lost a child.  But money won't bring her son back. And as a black woman, I don't think this was an issue of race. But it does play a part. If the cop had a history of racist and questionable behavior in this area then it should be investigated.  Yet, who knows how he is dealing with the death of this young child. I just pray that people can forgive...not forget but forgive. I also pray that the cop is truly sorry, expresses this to the family and learns to forgive himself.

Westmemphis girl said:

I was raised in West Memphis and have lived here most of it.  I also lived 14 years in Dallas.  I do stand behind the cop, I do not believe that he woke up that morning and said I think I'm going to kill me a black kid..  Seven years ago when I moved back to West Memphis, I was told not to go in the area that the Deaunta lived in because of the drug dealers will come to your car to sell drugs.  I understand that his mother could not afford better housing.  

When I first saw Deaunta's mother on TV I felt like she was a nice person...

Why you say?  Did you notice that right after it happen the mother said her prays are with the cop and his family but now she is ready to hang him out to dry.... Could Al, NAN, & lawyers got to her and convented her how the cop was racist.  Now every time she gets on TV, she has a mad, hateful look to her face. And she can pour on the tears.  And even everone standing behind her looks mad.  What a show.  I am sure after the cameras are off they go back to laughing and joking around.  

No one has ever said if she works or welfare.  Is she still working.  For the rest of her life she is always going to hate white people and cops no matter what the out come is.   What am I saying she already do.  

About a week after it happen Deaunta cousin said that Deaunta wanted to be in a gang. What does that tell you.

Deaunta's father now want his share of the money for the White cop shot and killed his son that he loved so much.

Ron Aldrich Brighton, Tn said:

I'm very sorry about the child being killed. My question is what was that child doing out that late at night without adult supervision. That part of town is a high crime area. The police officer was concerned about his own safety and I commend him for that. I believe the mother needs to look at her part of this. Had that boy been at home this would not of happened.

I feel sorry for the family ,its a tragedy that touches all of us and we need to keep their family in our prayers.The justice department and the police officer should be held to acoount and so does all os us,we are all responsible for what transpires on our streets and our homes .We should not cast blame when we are responsible for ourselves.

I cannot understand why the portray this young boy to be a small child judging from what appears to be a graduation robe from possibly kindergarten class. What is his actual height and weight?  I am sad for everyone involved but the question in my mind was he big enough to be mistaken for an adult. THANK YOU

P.D. said:

Iam a mother of an 11 year old boy. I keep a close eye on my son at all times. My question is where were the parents when this happened ? What was a 12 year old boy doing out by himself at that time of night ? Parents need to take more responsibility for there children and there whereabouts . It's terrible that a young child died , but I feel the polic officer did what he had to do . I do not feel this should be a black / white issue . But it is a parenting issue !

I can feel the families pain in the loss of their child but in a situation like that you can not sit and think about is it a real gun or fake, your life as well as other people are on the line. As a officer unless you are SWAT you are trained to shot center mass. People have to realize the line of work we do is not a video game, you can't come back. Parents talk to your kids and teach them them dangers of guns, drugs and gangs and stop teaching your kids that all police are bad that's were alot of this stuff comes from, parents telling their little kids police is bad so when they are stop or questioned by the police they want to talk crazy, run from them, fight them, so what do you think a officer is to do. He took an oath to help keep this city safe and for them that are doing their jobs we want to complain until it's your turn to need them then you want all available help from everywhere. Be fair to our law enforcement we put our lives on the line everyday to keep you the public safe and all we get is complaining. How about good job MPD, Deputy Sheriff, Deputy Jailer, Correction Officers. All these agencies put their lives on the line EVERY DAY!!

why did she saw "i dont understand why it took 4 months they should have came back sooner" um i sure this wasnt the only case they were dealing with!

you notcie she never talks about how her song did anything wrong she dosent say anything about the time he was out, about the fake gun he had, about how he didnt listen to the officer.  she only wants to talk about how the officer should be fired and she lost her boy and wearing his kindergarten picture on her shirt in EVERY interview

WELL, FIRST OF ALL I AM AMOTHER AND I ALSO LIVED IN WESTMEMPHIS AND THOU SHALL NOT JUDGE OR BE JUDGE. NO ONE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MOTHER IS GOING THROUGH, NOR WOULD YOU WANT TO IMAGINE AND IT DOES NOT MATTER IF SHE WORKS OR NOT, NOR DOES IT MATTER WHERE SHE LIVES. WHAT MATTER IS SHE LOST HER CHILD THAT SHE LOVES SO VERY MUCH AND THE REASON I SAID THAT IS BECAUSE I KNOW ,SHE IS MY FRIEND.  AND I FEEL THE SAME WAY IF SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TAKEN MY CHILD, AND MONEY IS NOT THE ISSUE AT HAND. AND EVERYBODY NEED TO STOP BLAMING HER AND MAKING STATEMENTS ABOUT WHERE WAS SHE AND WHY WAS TAT TAT OUT THAT LATE. THE BOTTOM LINE IS SHE LOVE HER SON , SHE WANT HER SON BACK BUT WE KNOW HE IS IN A RESATING PLACE NOW. BUT WE AS  A COMMUNITY  TO WANT JUSTICE NOT VIOLENCE . WE WANT TO BE TREATED RIGHT WE ARE JUST TIRED OF BEEN ABUSE BY THE SYSTEM, AND THE SYSTEM IS SUPPOSE TO WORK FOR ALL OF US. BUT  ONE THING I KNOW GOD IS GONNA TURN THIS SITUATION AROUND FOR THE GOOD NOT THE BAD. DEBRA I AM HERE FOR YOU GOD IS A GOOD GOD HE IS WORKING IT OUT OIN YOUR FAVOR.

Helen said:

I cannot help but wonder if the policeman were black, would we see this outrage by West Memphis blacks?

This policeman will forever be changed - believe me, it is not easy for a grown man to learn he shot a youth.  However, in all fairness, this was a split second decision and the policeman erred on the side of caution.

Anyone who thinks the justice department did a dishonest investigation has a problem.  This was looked at fairly and they came up with their result.  The whole problem, as I see it is that Al Sharpton and a few lawyers decided to get involved and ramp up the tension.  That is inexcusable.  It sounds like some of the citizens are making threats to take things into their own hands if they don't get the desired results.  There are rules we all live by and they can't be changed just because of one's race.  Everyone just needs to calm down and let the investigation continue.  If all three investigations conclude with the same results, you can count on the fact that the policeman was not at fault.  Accept it and move on.

Gun Camera   Click For Video!


When an officer pulls his gun from the holster, the digital recording begins.

With a l.5 ounce camera about the size of a lipstick placed below the barrel of the gun, it can record sound and every object or movement the weapon points at.

Orange County's sheriff's emergency service team and the Newburgh Police Department will be the first to test the pistol cam and they may be the first in the country to have an extra eye looking over every officers decision.

Chief Eric Paolilli says "if the technology is there to be used and it's an effective tool and we examine it and there's no safety issues and there's no issues with our guns there's no issues that come to light during this pilot time, it's one more tool that we can use."

This new police technology comes to Newburgh just a year shy of the anniversary of the police shootout here on Broadway that resulted in the death of 23-year-old Antonio Bryant.

The gunfight put a strain on the communities relationship with police.

Mayor Nick Valentine, who is up for re-election a week from Tuesday, believes this new surveillance could help reunite both sides.

The city of Newburgh police department participates in their own union. The president of their PBA was shown the pistol cam for the time time tonight.

He says he's reluctant to believe his officers will support this new technology.

The state has alloted $35,000 dollars for a testing period in Newburgh over the next few months. If successful, every Newburgh officer will have the pistol camera are part of their equipment.

a freind of Debra - She may be a nice person but she is not a very good mother.  She lets her son play with toy guns after dark in a high crime area... This would have never happen if she told better care of her child..  I understand she wants to know what happen but she may not need to know the truth that her un-controlable child was horsing around.    Just how can she play a race card.  There was no race in the shooting.  If you had a gun pointing at you what would you do.

a friend of debra - were you one of the 25 people that showed up for the rally (most of that 25 were people that lived there).  Yep, I was there, I saw the TV station,   Just how do you know the tat-tat did not have a gun.  Were you there.  The cops in West Memphis do a great job trying to keep crime down.  The month that they did it your way crime almost double.  But why is the mother still playing the race card.  Does she really think that the good officer really set out to shoot her son.  Or is she listening to all the different people (Al, Greg and her lawyer) that is making off of her lost.

African - that little 1.5 oz camera might work who knows for sure.  Maybe it should be put on all guns and even toys.  By putting it on all guns then that might help the  cops that protect and serve us getting the thugs that are killing inocent people.

African American said:

Westmemphis girl are you joking this is a matter of seriousness and conversation... Guns do not kill people the ill-responsible and criminals kill innocent people.  Putting cameras on toy guns is just plane ignorant.  If you took all the firearms from law abiding citizens then the only people who would have guns would be criminals, police and the military.

As a gun owner there have been times that my firearm have saved my life, nor did I have to pull the trigger or a street thug.  The fact is the police can't be everywhere at our homes in a moment notice to think like that is foolish.  You have to protect yourself when the need arises also using common sense...

It is more than blacks killing each other a white man has been charged with the rape and death of a 9 yr old little girl southwest Missouri, A white student in Finland killed his class mates, not to mention Jeffrey Dahmer, John Gacy, Ted Bundy, James Huberty, and Colin Fergunson.

When it comes to security of a community you can't do enough, I should know I live 5 minutes from Virginia Tech College. I was on the campus April 16 where several of my friends died and one whom I had given a ride there because his truck was not working and he needed to be on time.

I may agree with you on the plastic gun but in this area of virginia White kids in this area is spray painting there guns so it can look real.  A toy is a toy but, mistakes and overzealousness cost lives.  I feel what happen was a accident.  Now it is a travesty of justice.

BRIBRI said:

I wonder if there would be such outrage if this would have been a black cop who killed the kid. Would Al Sharpton still try to get involved? Anyway, it is such a shame that the mother is trying to bank off of this from filing a lawsuit. I would hope that a jury would be intelligent enough to realize that if they awarded the mother any money, the city would have to cut back on all budgets including police and fire protection to pay her. It would be a shame for a home to burn down because the fire department had to cut back on their payroll. I completely support the police officer involved. All he did was doing his job. Kids take real guns and weapons to school all them time, so what would make this cop believe that the guy was a toy? The mother should be held responsible because she should have never let her kid to go outside that time of night running around with a toy gun. Besides that, the area where this shooting took place does not appear to be that safe anyway. So, that being said, if you know your neighborhood or apartment complex gets patrolled because of crime and drugs, why in the world would the mother let her son have a toy gun to begin with, let alone go outside and play with it. I am sure the mother was aware of the crime in the neighborhood and knows that police often patrol her neighborhood. Talk about playing with fire!
I am so sick and tired of ignorant people blaming race. I am sure any other black or white cop would have reacted the same way whether it was a black, white, or mexican kid with a gun. Parents need to be held responsible for the kid's actions. The mother appears to be a disgrace to society by trying to profit off something that she should be blaming herself for. I sure hope that she is sterile and can't have anymore kids. It appears she wants kids for all the wrong reasons. This should be a lesson for all parents....Memphis and the surrounding cities are full of crime and it's only getting worse. Police officers are always on high alert. If your child goes in public with a toy or real gun and they don't obey a police officers warning to drop the weapon, there is a great chance that your child will get injured or killed. The citizens of West Memphis should be proud of their police department. Like I said before, it is a shame that uneducated people want to blame race for actions committed by the uneducated. A responsible parent would have never let this happen.

I have a question for blacks to answer...What if the office was black?  Would you say the black cop was racist for shooting a black kid?  What if the officer was asian, would you also think the asian cop was a racist for killing a black kid??

Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that that most murders in the Memphis area are blacks killing blacks.  Does this mean that blacks are racist against blacks???  It appears to me that blacks are OK with blacks killing blacks.  It just does not make sense that out of 100 blacks getting killed, probably 99 were killed from a black, but the 1 who is killed by a white is a racist crime.

African American 2 Bribri said:

BRIBRI  your comments is based on emotion and not logic.  Do I think the kid didn't need that plastic gun, yes.  Do I believe that contributed to his death, absolutely.  Do I believe it was an accident, yes.  Yet what went wrong. There are only questions and no answers.

Do I believe the Gun Camera would have put a lot of anger to rest and may solve future problems yes 100%.  Once as a military police officer I was placed in the same situation but, I didn't shoot.   I hesitated for a brief second if the gun would have been real my partner would be dead and maybe myself.

It turned out to be a pellet pistol, this plays back in my mine each time I hear of some child dies. If is an accident say so don't dismiss it, and if it was an accident and that officer have a human heart.  This will drive him nuts inside till the point he quits or transfer, then what.
Nothing will change and the child will still be no more.

There is always some white person saying we are playing the race card.  Or we are gaining some monetary advantage over a death.  Can this be said about 9/11 or over plane crashes and even the deaths here in Virginia on VT campus.

Most of the people killed on campus was white 97% and each family member that lost a love one has been paid about 4 million dollars each and they are still suing the college.  There is no one more disturb by the black deaths anywhere more than myself regardless of age or the killer.  The problem is knowing, the solution is stopping it from happening again.

BRIBRI said:

This situation is in no comparison to 9/11 or the VT shootings.  The families of the VT victims are suing because the school did not put the campus on lock down after the first shooting took place and students were not notified that that a killer was still on the loose.  Classes should have been cancelled, but they were not.......the school lacked security procedures and that is the reason why the families are suing.  There is absolutely not comparison between the two.

You stated that "There is always some white person saying we are playing the race card".  Every time I turn on the news and see this story, blacks being interviewed are always implying that this is a racial issue.  I am sure if you have been watching the news and have seen the interviews of the victim's friends, family, and neighbors, you have heard them say stuff like "if this was a black cop that killed a white kid, he would be in jail".  Also, if the black community didn't think this was a race issue, they would not be trying to get Al Sharpton and other black rights groups involved.  Am I right or am I wrong???  So do you still think my comments are not based on logic?

To BRIBRI,yes I really believe  if a black cop would killed that child Al Sharpton stiil would have wanted answer. first of all if a black cop would've killed TA-TA,he would've been suspended without pay then he would've  have got fired and that apartment complex is not a bad place like people making it to be i am not begin racist but most ot time it's more white kids brought guns to school and killing there classmate and you are being ignore yourself blame other people except the right person and the apartment complex does have patrol car and a security guard

African American said:

Bribri yes I do, first when the shooting took place here, they said a white man shot his ex-girlfriend and her new black boyfriend.  And because of the first shooting that took place on campus a year earlier.  
With the white highway patrolman being shot to death and the black security guard being killed at the hospital by the same white man.
The students threaten to sue the school, campus police and city police if they had to make up the first day of classes. This played a large part of poor judgment that let things spiral out of control.

With Al Sharpton people needed a rallying point.  Someone to make people take notice of a problem in the community.  I feel he was not needed , but people need leaders to show them what to do.  No I don't like the race card either but as long as white America can call blacks words that I don't use towards blacks, like Dog the bounty hunter, or Imus ignorant remarks, we will never get pass things of the past because it's groups and things like kkk,  and noose hangings marks the present and not the past.

some logic in your comments, but you base your comments on emotion. You never addressed if the Gun Camera would have made a difference.

BRIBRI said:

African American...You mentioned a gun camera, but I was never asked it.  It seems like they would be a good idea.  Anyway, have you bought a rap cd, hip hop cd, or watched any movies lately?  I listen to a lot of hip hop and all I hear is the N word.  Let me remind you that these are blacks using the N word.  I work downtown and everyday at least once I hear a black coworker address another black coworker by saying "what's up my N__" or they will be talking about something and say "F*** that N__" or "that N__ ain't got nothing on me".  Every time I watch comedy central I hear the N word being used repeatedly by blacks.  I hear blacks use the N word much more often than I do whites.  

Also, I have no idea what you are talking about when you say that students threaten to sue the school if they had to make up the first day of classes.   You must be talking about something totally different than what I was saying.

Anymore logic in what I am saying?  Sounds like your comments are a little emotionally based.  There is no reason for you to respond to this with reasons why blacks can say the N word and nobody else can.  I sure don't want to hear any BS excuses.

Its not race, it's society! said:

Why does EVERYTHING have to be about race. If you want to blame someone, blame society!  We live in a time that 11 & 12 year olds are robbing, killing and joining gangs!  There have been warnings on the news about gang members recruiting in the elementary schools!  I cant blame the officer for shooting the boy, as sad as it is that Deaunta lost his life.  You want to be upset with someone....blame someone?  Blame the right people! Blame the gang members that are recruiting your children and a society that has come to accept crime as a normal occurance.  Blame the toy companies that model their products after "the real thing".  Blame yourselves for not teaching your children that there "is no such thing as a play gun".  When we were kids we played cops and robbers but we werent allowed to use anything but our finger.  Now, lets change this scenario......if an officer had a finger pointed at him, what do you think the outcome would have been.  My prayers go out to Deaunta's family, but maybe his life wasnt taken in vain......maybe at least some of this outrage will be directed at the crime that has taken over each of our lives.  Maybe we as a whole (all races) will stand up and say we are not going to have crime run our lives, and we will not allow crime to be just a part of our everyday lives! We're taking our streets back, we are restoring the idea that you should feel safe in your own home, we are restoring the unthinkable that it is not a crime to leave your car unlocked with your personal belongings in it.  The crime is actually when someone takes something that doesnt belong to them.  Maybe then when kids like Deaunta are playing they wont be mistaken as a threat! An officer wont have to question whether he has a gun, he's a kid.  I know it's a pretty far fetched idea....but this situation isnt going to do anything but get worse if we dont do something.  We as a Nation have allowed our streets to be taken over by thugs and have elected officials that are their ring leaders.  WE are the only ones that can make this change!

Its not race, it's society! OKAY THEN LET'S ADDRESS WHAT YOU ARE SAYING:

From what I have been seeing is that the gang culture have transcended to suburbia it was cool as long as it did not cross this barrier now White kids are shooting fellow classmates from Colorado too Finland.   And long as it stayed it the black neighborhoods it was okay.

Yet this is no longer the case, on MSNBC program who is getting arrested in the sting for child perversion 98% Whites.  Then who's the blame?  Just Friday Hillary Clinton blame the hip hop culture for this trend, that statement is stupid and racist.

You are responsible for your own actions and here in Virginia A White teen killed her mother for insurance money, A white teen in Kansas killed her mother over her curfew, a white teen killed her mother and father in Missouri because she could not attend a party for older teens.

And there's Jeffery Dahmer, John Gacy, Ted Bundy, James Huberty, Danny Rollings, and Colin Fergunson. Oh wait... Fergunson was Black.

Before you point the finger, clean your own house first, we know there is a problem in the black community, and recognizing it is a step forward toward solving it.

I can feel the families pain in the loss of their child but in a situation like that you can not sit and think about is it a real gun or fake, your life as well as other people are on the line. As a officer unless you are SWAT you are trained to shot center mass. People have to realize the line of work we do is not a video game, you can't come back. Parents talk to your kids and teach them them dangers of guns, drugs and gangs and stop teaching your kids that all police are bad that's where alot of this stuff comes from, parents telling their little kids police is bad so when they are stop or questioned by the police they want to talk crazy, run from them, fight them, so what do you think a officer is to do. He took an oath to help keep this city and u safe and for them that are doing their jobs we want to complain until it's your turn to need them then you want all available help from everywhere. Be fair to our law enforcement we put our lives on the line everyday to keep you the public safe and all we get is complaining. How about good job MPD, Deputy Sheriff, Deputy Jailer, Correction Officers. All these agencies put their lives on the line EVERY DAY!!

Juschozen- I agree with most of what you said except one thing- SWAT officers (I was one for 8 years) are trained to shoot center mass. Shooting in the arm and leg is hollywood bullshit. In most police shootings you are taken by surprise and even expert police marksman (on the range) hit their target only about 17 per cent of the time even when shooting for center mass. Y2k- You are a moron. The feds will hem up a white cop (or any other cop) in a heartbeat. Their prosecutors get real excited if they think they can send a cop to jail, they just love the face time they get out of that. Most Fed prosecutors have ambition for public office and nothing gets more press then putting the mean old po-po in their place. They will be all over the news with the flimsiest BS cases that they know they have no prayer of getting a conviction on, but if it gets their name in the paper then what the hell. I have seen cops go to jail for 2-5 years for ***-slapping a knucklehead, something that had it not had LE involvement would have meant 3 days at county. By the way, do you think all black, or majority black police departments have any better record on civil rights then white officers/departments? The complaint rates don't bear that theory out. Any cop that takes enforcement action against a minority is crucified in the press no matter what the crime, and then you wonder why Memphis is at the top of violent crime numbers. Memphis could be safe if they would let the PD do their job, but that will never happen. If you are a white cop you are a peckerwood, and a black cop is an uncle tom. So glad I left that crap behind.

I think you live in a dream world.  My husband is a WMP officer and that area IS A VIOLENT CRIME RIDDEN AREA.  Also, you say he didn't have a gun?  Ok, explain why now Mr. Bailey admits he had one in the waistband of his pants.  I thought he didn't have a gun?

Once as a military police officer I was placed in a very similar situation but, I didn't shoot.

I hesitated for a brief second if the gun would have been real my partner would be dead and maybe myself. The weapon turned out to be a pellet pistol.

A toy is a toy, but hesitation and over zealousness cost lives. I feel what happen was a accident. Now it is a travesty of justice.

It's time for the Police department to come of age, with Dash Cams and Gun Cams.

Do I believe the Gun Camera would have put a lot of anger to rest and may solve future problems yes 100%

Police: Boy Killed Parents, Didn't Want To 'Disappoint' Them Anymore

Jacob Brighton said he shot his parents last month because he always felt like a disappointment to them because he didn't have a job, smoked marijuana and didn't share the same "qualities or interests" as his father

Vampire cult leader gets death sentence in Florida
Rod Ferrell, 17"a disturbed young man," a judge sentenced the teen-age leader of a vampire cult to Florida's electric chair Friday for the beating deaths of a middle-age couple.

Teen Rapes Mother To Get Revenge On Brother Police say 16-year-old Gary Helms, Jr., raped his 45-year-old mother this past weekend at Willow Terrace Trailer Park on Doyle Drive in Albertville.

Couple Says They Are Afraid Of Their 13-Year-Old Son
VILLE, Fla. -- A Brevard County couple is willing to abandon their own child because they are afraid of him. The parents said the 13-year-old boy has violent outbursts and has even threatened to kill them.

Teen kills family for insurance money On the morning he was to graduate from high school, Scott Moody (search) walked a half-mile to his grandparents' farmhouse and began what authorities say was the first stop in a gruesome murder-suicide that ended in six deaths. Moody shot his grandparents with a .22-caliber rifle before heading home, where he went from bedroom to bedroom, shooting his mother, teenage sister and two friends.

You wonder where the problem really is in this society??  It doesn't matter if you are black or white.  The problem in this society is that nobody wants to take responsibility for their actions whether they are black or white.  Everybody wants to blame everybody else!! In my opinion, the real problem in society is that people don't have GOD in thier lives.  That is REAL PROBLEM!!!

First it would be best to have an identity so I can respond to you properly, secondly by knowing who you are as a person you can infect make positive changes that will make you a better person.

It's more than just having religion in your life. Once you have a good moral compass instilled within you the rights and wrong the good and bad will never become an issue with you as a citizen.  Then you can make those choices that is helpful too you and the community will flourish from those choices.

With out that you might become another Ted Bundy or Colin Fergunson or something far worse yet to reveal itself.

I agree with Bartlettman 100%!  This very very tragic incident was investigated thoroughly and the Grand Jury found that no charges were warranted in this case, so why do we continually shove the knife in a little deeper?  Why is no allowing this poor child to rest in peace?  I truly believe he is looking down on all of this and shaking his little head in disbelief that all the adults who are supposedly grieving their loss are more interested in monetary value than in allowing DeAunte to rest in peace!

I guess because I am a mother of a 33 year old son and a 30 year old daughter whom I raised by myself without any help, my main question is where were the adults when DeAunte Farrow was allowed to be outside at 10:00 at night?  This child, at 10pm should have been inside his home and in bed or at the very least, he should have been getting his pajama's on and getting into bed!  Please someone answer that one simple question!!  In the meantime, try to put yourselves in DeAunte's place, would he really want this bickering to go on? Would he not want everyone to just drop this and try to live in peace!  Unfortunately life does go on as hard as it is to live without our loved ones tragically taken or not, we have to find the courage to carry on...God speed Deborah, I sincerely hope you can find the courage to carry on and live your life to the fullest!

This just shows that white kids continue to commit some of the worst crime in our nation history.  while each comment posted by insensitive racist whites from what I gather.

Black kids are not the only group that commit crimes, no not by a long shot.  Just today here in Seattle a white kid slit the throat of his sister to see if blood would spray like in the movies.

You bigots can point the finger in the black community all you want but  facts are facts you need not surf the web just wait.....

African American - you can brag all you want about crime involving whites killing whites, but the numbers only add up to a fraction of the killings compared to black on black crime.  you are just wasting your time blogging about how some white kid killed his white parents.  Do you watch the local memphis news???  My lord, all you see everyday is news stories about the local murders and probably 95  percent of those are blacks killing black.  WAKE UP TO REALITY!

One point that people seem to be missing is this was an unsupervised child, out late at night, who was old enough and presumably smart enough to know better than to point a gun (toy or not) at a police officer.  You all don't understand what it is like to put your life on the line day after day.  You have a split second to make a life and death decision.  Come on people, race isn't the issue here.  It's a high crime area.  Let's not talk about what a wonderful mother Ms. Farrow is.  Why did this "wonderful" mother let her child out, unsupervised late at night.  Why wasn't he in bed?

The child should have not been out that late in that area of town.  Children think they own the town and they do not.  Adults are to blame, NOT the children.  Yes, I feel for the mother of this boy.  She will always blame herself and her lawyer is not helping her at all.  In fact, he is using her for his own gain.  People think he is out to for her good when really he is out for HIS pocket change if you catch my drift.  One of these days she will realize just how much she was used and she will again feel as if her heart was snatched just as if a knife had stabbed her all over again.  I just hope her so called lawyer is a million miles away by then.  For he is only out for his own gain.  He cares not for the woman he claims to help.  He cares only for his own "Pocket Money."  Sooooo   SAD.
