I believe that the mothers (at least in Manitoba anyway) actually have a script they use for these events. The script includes:

a) The police should have reasoned with him/tasered him/shot him/checked the gun to see if it was real/loaded or else shot it out of his hand

b) Sure he got into trouble.....what kid doesn't. But he was just about to turn his life around.

Often, the youth, who may be only 17 to 19, is leaving behind 2 to 3 children already, and was actually/eventually/maybe going to marry the mother of one of them, or else his now pregnant girl friend. He was or had been considering becoming a policeman or possibly a social worker himself.

Thankfully, today's progressive and well thought out gun laws are making the above speeches redundant. Well, not really, since the misguided youth don't really follow the laws in the first place, but it all looks good on paper.
