Barton said in a local broadcast interview, "I told (in advance) the police officers who came to the house that the child was not armed," and "the child was just angry and screaming."
Barton also said, "As I went to work after more than a year, my child's separation anxiety became worse," crying, "I don't know why the police shot the anxious child."

1. That's the issue in a society where they allow guns. Of course, the police also abuse their power.... Sigh
2. Why is the police so radical over there... Didn't they just killed a black man not long ago?
3. The police in the US are the biggest problem. Their police made them the most rotten country of the developed world
4. There are lots of people here who don't understand their police. In the US, you can easily be part of the police as long as you have good fitness abilities. And the reason why a lot of people, aside from the victims, ignore the police's action is because they have so many crimes over there. Although they still think that police brutality is wrong, they still go easier on them than the rest of us. And their occupational stress is also heightened due to the fact that everything they do is on the premise that the citizens are also owning guns. In other words, our country's police is like civil servants, whereas in the US, it's more about being meat shields. Of course, this time, they're clearly in the wrong, but what I'm saying is that being a policeman over there is more stressful.
5. So you want me to understand shooting a kid with a gun? What kind of nonesense
6. How can you be a policeman if you're this much of a coward? Did he shoot him because he was scared of a kid?
7. Just how many times are they going to shoot someone who doesn't hear them say to lay down in front of them? It's not even because they shoot due to the shock, they're seriously weird
8. Because of the exited condition of that middle schooler, the mom had to call 2 adults to come and apprehend him but they weren't even able to do it so they could only resort to using a gun. What a mad country
9. Why would you ever use a gun against a kid... The kid wasn't even armed
10. This country will ruin itself with their guns
