Whatever. Sounds like the long way around to reaching a soap box. I didn't read anything about this kid's parentage or even that he is black-just troubled-I mean "at risk".

how would you feel you go to pick your child up from school no where to find them and next thing you know homicide officers are your door step? His mother picked him up everyday after school! Regardless of what went wrong to cause this whole tragedy the officer had no right to shoot and kill Derek. His mother and step father were very involved in his life. I know of alot of freinds who raise theri kids the best they can and have ended up using drugs or ended up in jail... it has nothing to do with the way a child is being raised!!! and still dont know where they went wrong. so before you state that his parents were inattentive or irresponsible read your facts!!!!timmer1001 · 9 months ago in reply to DL2brother
You know a lot of good parents who raised their kids the best they can then they end up in jail??? Do you see the irony in that?

It is a sad situation, but if the kid was assaulting someone and then ran from the police, he dealt the play. This is sad for those who loved him, if anyone, and for the officer, who, no matter how justified, has to deal with the pain of having taken a young life.David · 9 months ago
why would a cop has his gun drawn on a student?? makes no sense. At this point it doesnt matter if the kid had a father or not.....highly irrelevant and ignorant comment. just sayin...jbjaybird1 · 9 months ago in reply to David
A student can kill just like any other pos. Most all thugs were "students" at one time or another. I feel bad for the young man and the officer. The young man lost his life but the officer will have to think about it for the rest of his life. So sad for both of them.timmer1001 · 9 months ago in reply to David

This young boy was dealt a cruel life. No matter what ignorant things he did in life, he did not deserve to leave this earth yet. Contrary to what many may believe "he got what he deserved" this was just a child who did not have a full chance to grow up yet. One of the many reasons why officers at schools should not have firearms, it should be left up to the professionals. My heart goes out to his parents.Beckster05 · 9 months ago
Why don't they say What really happend the Heroic story of Derek Fighting someone for Domestic Violence being put upon a Girl... That's why he assaulted that guy and then ran off when he saw the cop. That N.I.S.D. Cop seriously didn't need to end a Young man's Life the way he did, Don't they teach cops how to shoot??? Apparently not, they show them how to murder!!! And after searching Derek they Found NOTHING, No drugs or Weapons. But yet the N.I.S.D cop was being assaulted by Derek.mentalmessiah1 · 9 months ago in reply to Beckster05
Well gee Beck! If this sh**head derek was soooo rightous ( as you depict him to be ) then why didn't he cooperate with the officer instead of running? Had he cooperated, he would still be here right? Yes he would. And who made this kid the Defender of the Abused? And they do teach them how to shoot...after all, he took the little bas*ard out with ONE shot didn't he?True-Native-Texan · 9 months ago in reply to Beckster05
When a person chooses to flee a cop for any reason, that sure makes one wonder just what they are running from and what they are up to, then he hides in a shed?? Come on, are you really that nieve to think all this kid was doing was protect some girl from being assaulted but some other thug??? I would have thought the kid was smart enough to stick around, explain to the cop what was taking place (after all he had a witness supposedly) and have the cop pat him on the back and compliment him for doing the right thing. No, he takes off like a criminal, hides in a shed then kicks the door open trying to knock the cop off balance so he could run some more. Really smart punk!!pedroandblue · 9 months ago in reply to Beckster05
You would think if this were the actual case, Derek would RUN to the Police Officer and explain the situation.
Wait he did run, but the opposite way.
Derek is the same type of kid that killed that taco vendor, viola barrios, and that other crazy kid who killed his mother and tried to cart her down the stairs.They all shared the same thing-violence.timmer1001 · 9 months ago in reply to Beckster05
I am glad they teach the cop how to shoot. One shot, One win. We are all better off now[/list]
Beckster05 · 9 months ago
Seriously what kind of Training do N.I.S.D cops get??? To just shoot or to Kill??? I don't get why the focus is mainly on the supposed Assault that was given to the Cop, but no one really focuses on the Heroic action of Derek fighting with someone for Domestic Abuse on a girl, and then after that he saw the cop and took off running. Regardless Derek's background , when he was searched he possesed NO WEAPONS and NO DRUGS. Honestly was this the best way to deal with a young man that stood against domestic violence and now won't ever see the light of day again.

Why was an NSID cop patrolling the NEIGHBORHOOD? Even if the kid were such a miserable character something here does not compute.True-Native-Texan · 9 months ago in reply to Frances
I don't know what SAPD's regulations are about these School security officers pulling off campus duty but this could have been his neighborhood and if the community was having theft and burglary problems, chances are he was keeping an eye on the neighborhood and was probably justified in doing so. When I was a deputy, I use to keep an eye on my neighborhood and I had every right to do so. The only thing the sheriff and constable required us to do was to check in and let them know if anything was wrong so our butts would be covered in case of something like this. You can be placed on duty immediately upon request from your superior officers, I had to do it a couple of times.pedroandblue · 9 months ago in reply to True-Native-Texan
A Texas Peace Officer can arrest in any county in the state of Texas for all offenses except for traffic.
It was an offense within view and it is his literal duty to take action.
They are not security officers, they are actual TECLEOSE licensed Peace Officers. The same license SAPD, BCSO (except some deputies are not licensed PO's because they are detention officers) and other Police Officers are required to have.Frances · 9 months ago in reply to pedroandblue

Francis...what doesn't compute is your lack of intelligence. School district patol officers are ALWAYS in the neighborhoods. Where do you think most of the schools are?emergencyops · 9 months ago in reply to Frances
Patrolling for truants, perhaps. Like Texan said, the neighborhood could have been experiencing theft and burglary problems. Some school police officers are called upon by city police to assist them. Maybe SAPD requested an extra set of eyes and ears in the area surrounding the school. Sadly, the child was heading down the wrong path and it all came to an end in someone's backyard.[/list]

The memoirs of Viola Barrios comes to mind when situations like this arise. It was a matter of time before the wanna-be politicians came in with ignorant comments. Thankfully they are not real politicians-only in their little minds.True-Native-Texan · 9 months ago in reply to pedroandblue
Whether we like it or not, politics plays a big part of such tragedies as this, if politicians would get it out of their criminal minds that they know how to raise our children better than the parents do and start leaving the raising of kids in the hands of parents, not teachers and politicians, then you could blame the parents. Instead, we have everyone raising kids today besides the parents and threatening parents with prison or fines if they use corporal punishment on a child or in any way deprive the kid of any of his toys when he does something bad and gets in trouble. If the governmet wants to take over raising our kids, then they are the root of the fault of how these kids turn out, get off the backs of the parents, you can't have it both ways you moron politicians.
That is my feelings to where politics fit into these bad situations, maybe you have a different view, if so lets hear it, ok? We have given government way too much say so and control over our lives and decision making, this is the result as I see it.pedroandblue · 9 months ago in reply to True-Native-Texan
TNT they do play a part in this situation, but not in an ignorant way as some have been protesting. I agree with your comment, but some of these other people are just loony tunes with the political sword.

I happen to work for a school district and let me tell you..these kids now a days are just horrible. These school district officers in Middle and High schools have to put up with alot. It's not just boys, the girls are just as bad. I am not saying that the officer had the right to shoot this boy but maybe the boy would still be here if he had not ran. Obviously, he was running because he had been in trouble already. It all goes back to the parents and how they raise kids these days. Parents: YOUR KIDS ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS! Teach them to respect adults and most importantly, teach them to break the cycle and do something with their lives.Chico09 · 9 months ago in reply to monimor
Exactly, people are starting younger and a lot of what I've witnessed are parents that are just into their own lives and let their kids do whatever they want as long as the parents aren't bothered.mentalmessiah1 · 9 months ago in reply to monimor

True-Native-Texan · 9 months ago
Because of such incidents as you had at Columbine High in Colorado, I would imagine schoold districts now have a different attitude about their campus police officers being armed. What good is a campus police officer when he has a can of mace and a night stick and you have a student or students pull off what these two did at Columbine. Columbine is just one single isolated example, there have been dozens across this country just in the past ten to twelve years. Do I like the idea of armed police officers on our school campuses, not really but do I want someone to be able to stop a drugged out gun blazing punk like those two at Columbine were.....absolutely!!! Society has created these problems, now we have to do what is necessary to control it and protect the overwhelming majority of our school kids. Like the ole saying goes.."I'd rather have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it". With the extremely high abuse of drugs today, we have to adapt and change policies to deal with it, armed security guards at our schools is unfortunately one of those changes so we might as well get used to it.Chico09 · 9 months ago
Where are the parents in all this? I have a 14-yr-old boy and he does not and would not act like this. Sad that anyone can have a child, but so many choose not to be parents that nuture and care for their offspring. Sounds like this kid was headed down the wrong path and it ended before he could really do some damage.big_pun · 9 months ago
So you're saying Officer Alvarado, a trained professional, who probably weighs 265 (give or take a few doughnuts) was unable to apprehend a 14 year old kid that he had to use brute force by killing him. According to the report Alvarado fired one shot in self defense, question is was he firing the shot to try and scare Derek Lopez or did he fire the shot to intentional hit him. I would like to personally see Officer Alvarado face the kids family face to face and explain how he killed their kid.deltadart · 9 months ago in reply to big_pun

It's nice to know that you support the act of murdering kids just because of his troubled past. I hope you don't have any kids of your own and if you do should something tragic like this happen to your kid one day I hope you suffer, or even more, than what his parents are going through right now.pedroandblue · 9 months ago in reply to big_pun
Hate to say this but if the parents cared, they would have had that kid under control since birth and that kid would still be alive.
I have pitbull dogs and believe it or not, they are more trained and disciplined than most kids and that training comes from me, but dont assume I wouldn't put them down if they became a threat to myself or any other person.[/list][/list][/list]

Big_pun you have to understand and I stress the word "understand". It is ones personal choice to have children or animals, but for others that cannot have children and opt not to adopt they turn to pets for companionship.
This is where the "responsibility" as for ANYTHING that is capable of doing harm comes into play. The problem with you is you assume, then not want to assume. You have to make up your mind which side of the fence you are on-but at the end of the day it is my right to "assimilate" dogs and kids being the same because I know for a fact my dogs are worth more than that kid that killed Viola Barrios, better than those parents who buried their children under a home. So tell me something factual that way you will not have to assume, then not assume.deltadart · 9 months ago in reply to big_pun
LOL...big-pud...it's because of pathetic little germs like you is why more and more trailer parks are going up. If this kid had beat the s*it out of your kid (like he's done to many others) you would be on the other side of the fence. And I do have kids...none of which have EVER been foolish enough to do anything like this...why? because I raised them to respect figures like teachers, police officers, etc... So, again, get back to your trailer and be quiet.thejugfather · 9 months ago in reply to big_pun

You can get upset and try and validate this kids history, but how can you doubt he didnt attempt to assault the officer when he was already involved in an assault which created this whole incident.

POSTED: Wednesday, June 10, 2009
UPDATED: 4:42 pm CDT June 10, 2009
SAN ANTONIO -- A St. Mary's University graduate who faced deportation has been granted a continuance by a federal immigration judge.
Benita Veliz, an undocumented immigrant, was born in Mexico and brought to the United States when she was 8 years old. She was detained during a January traffic stop revealed her immigration status.
"My story is ... just sometimes I look at other people and I think, they are so much more deserving to have the opportunity to get a green card, but in representation of them, I would say don't give up, fight for the DREAM act," she said. "This is the year that I really believe that it can happen."
Veliz, a valedictorian at Jefferson High School and an honors graduate from St. Mary's University earlier this year, said she was hoping for a continuance to buy enough time for Congress to pass the DREAM Act (S.729), a bill that would allow undocumented immigrant students who have grown up in the United States to apply for temporary residency status and eventually become a citizen with college attendance or military service.
"As we got closer to June, I was more anxious and more scared about what the decision could be, but knowing now that I have three additional months will be extremely helpful," Veliz said.
When asked why she hadn't previously applied for residency, Veliz referred questions to her attorney, who declined to comment. Supporters have previously said that Veliz's undocumented status prevented her from applying for residencypedroandblue · 9 months ago in reply to i308i

5 will get you 10 that terro8 is in FACT a 40+ year old single female, weighing in at 270 lbs, that has her eyebrows and lips tattooed. If she were good looking she would be 1) out clubbing, or 2) married, certainly NOT ONLINE on a MONDAY NIGHT AT 11:26PM, making all those hate comments towards the male bloggers.Guest · 9 months ago in reply to i308i

No apology necessary, I too on more than one occasion have posted a comment in error. I now wish to Thank you for your consideration in feeling you needed to apologize. It is refreshing to communicate with someone who is not using profanity & insults to get their point across. Have a Good Evening.[/list][/list][/list][/list][/list][/list][/list]

I just have one question. It is obvious you are a female due to the massive use of the word jerk, but I would like to know how you are related to the deceased. That is obvious as well-unless you are embarrassed to admit it I could understand.
Ok I will check in the morning for the response.
Thanks and goodnight all.i308i · 9 months ago in reply to pedroandblue
I arrived at the same conclusion, however it was brought to my attention that I was incorrect. Boy/girl would be a more accurate description. Over the past few months I have observed family & fellow criminals come to the defense of their fallen CRIMINAL.[/list][/list]

I could understand your inability to admit relationship because it is in your families blood to run and hide, but your comments betray you.[/list]

My condolences go out to the family of this young child. Although very young in age, he seems to have had a bad record. Parents need to be more active in their child's life and maybe prevent an unfortunate situation.CA · 9 months ago
A child is dead. A mother mourns. The only question I ask is, "Was all of this necessary?" was it necessary to chase a child that is not on school property? Yes there are many kids with disciplinary problems, but is death the suitable solution? I think active engagement is perhaps a better solution. Alternative schools are about as effective as the Justice system that often is a revolving door, which mainly ignores problems at hand. These problems are usually either medical or psychological. Thus people with drug convictions are not offered medical treatment, they are offered lockup, and often are mixed with hardened criminals that only worsens their situation. The same can be said about the Juvie system. It does not answer the medical issues these children often face, as there is no money to provide adequate care. Furthermore Americans voted to throw out Health Care reform. Thus children with medical issues are thrown into a system which often makes them worse. A system which often forces good kids with medical problems to fraternize with hardened criminals. Is this truly how you want your tax dollars spent? Children at this age are susceptible to quite a bit. The first often is acceptance from a group. In this community I would assume it would be a gang of some sort. They seek something they lack. Many who join gangs seek a family acceptance that they feel they do not have. Many single mothers have a hard time raising such children as they do all they can, but they children still look for a father figure, which gangs often seem to fill adequately. Psychological programs such as mentoring programs often provide an viable alternative. Such programs can often utilize children's interests as means of gaining their trust. In every instance there are those who are part of the solution, and those who are part of the problem. I would like to think of myself as part of the solution. in closing, although you can lead a horse to water, it is impossible to force that horse to drink. Thus, I can impart knowledge to you, but what you do with it is entirely up to you. My two centsCatalina36 · 9 months ago in reply to CA
All of these programs you mention already exist and they don't cost taxpayers anything. We call it parenting.Texas3Step · 9 months ago in reply to CA
The officer chased the kid because he caught him in the act of assaulting someone. The little angel was already in the system. Perhaps he could have turned his life around; we all hope the young ones do, but this boy attacked someone else, and he fought the cop. He knew those things were wrong, but chose to do them anyway. It is a shame that he was shot, but he dealt the play.john17000 · 9 months ago in reply to CA
Oh please money to help these kids. all it would take is for the fathers that breed these little devis is to step up and take care of their kids and the mother she let him run the streets, well he met his fate, you play in the field and a snake might bite you. thank god the taxpayers do not have to pay to house this thug throughtout his life in the penal system.Guest · 9 months ago in reply to CA
