When you look through the news these days, it’s like every story stems from people NOT HAVING RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY!!!!

Here’s the most recent example:

A high school student was shot by a Nevada campus cop Wednesday afternoon after apparently wielding knives at classmates.

A young male is seen with two long kitchen knives in startling video footage that was posted to social media after a fight reportedly erupted between two boys at Reno’s Hug High School.

Police Chief Jason Soto said at a press conference Wednesday night that a Washoe County School District police officer responded to the fight and the 14-year-old failed to follow the commands to drop his weapons.

The officer then fired his gun.

“Once the threat was stopped, the officer immediately began to provide medical aid to the student until emergency medical assistance arrived,” Soto told reporters.

The teen was transported to a local hospital and, as of late Wednesday, was listed in critical condition.

The campus was placed on a “code red” lockdown for several hours while law enforcement officers determined no other threats existed on campus. Once the all clear was given, students were released to their parents.

So this seems like a great example of a cop doing his duty, right?

Of course, there’s a backlash… against the officer. The boy’s dad posted on social media:

“My son was shot today by the school police,” wrote Justin Clark, who demanded to know why “the officer pulled his side arm and not his tazzer [sic].”

In the post, Clark asked for “public support in the battle with the city that’s sure to come from this.” He also praised his son as “a superior athlete” who’s now “lost part of his lung” in the wake of the shooting.

Give me a break! Would this kid have been shot had he not brought knives to school? Had he not been waving them around? Being a threat to his fellow classmates?

It’s unreal!! Though I understand why his dad would be upset at this, come on.

He needs to look at his kid’s actions and teach him to grow up and respect who’s in charge.
