He goes into K-Mart store and steals two knives, according to a witness. He slashed boxes as he left armed with the knives. Police are contacted.<\/p>\n<p>9.30pm <\/p>\n<p>    * Tyler is seen behaving irrationally with the knives in the centre carpark and goes to All Nations Park next to the shopping centre. More calls to police are made.<br \/>\n    * Four police officers &#8211; two males and two females &#8211; arrive and try to negotiate with the boy.<br \/>\n    * He approaches officers so they deploy capsicum spray, but it does not subdue him.<br \/>\n    * Tyler urges police to kill him or he will kill them. He approaches one officer and a warning shot is fired. He ignores demands to back off and three of the four officers fire, killing him.<\/p>\n<p>AAP<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Statement from the family of Tyler Cassidy about his shooting death<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The entire family and friends of Tyler Cassidy are appalled at the actions by the Victoria Police last night.<\/p>\n<p>Their heavy-handedness, and lack of negotiating skills at the scene of the shooting, contributed to the untimely death of our beautiful 15 year old.<\/p>\n<p>He was in the prime of his life, had just started a new school, and was coping really well. He was a popular student with high expectations and a good network of friends.<\/p>\n<p>The Northcote police were notified 30 minutes prior to the killing and briefed completely on what had happened including what he was wearing and to look out for Tyler.<\/p>\n<p>The four officers concerned acted unacceptably by killing Tyler last night. He had a very gentle side, striving to grow from a boy into a young man and would have been completely overwhelmed by the situation.<\/p>\n<p>The police according to our witnesses chased him, cornered him at the skate park in Northcote, he was surrounded and gunned down by four officers firing at least six or seven shots.<\/p>\n<p>Our eyewitness confirmed that Tyler patted her dog, was confronted by the police and sprayed with capsicum foam, then pursued to the skate park, surrounded and hunted down.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to a serious and thorough investigation and inquest into why Tyler was killed and to the serious nature of the attending officers&#8217; actions.<\/p>\n<p>It should have been dealt with differently and more compassionately, but tragically resulted in Tyler&#8217;s death that should have been avoided.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I promise you my darling, I will fight for you as you were taken from me under the most horrific circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why was he slayed to death when it was so unnecessary. Four officers were not capable of managing the situation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now you have passed over I will speak for you and others like you,&#8221; Shani, Tyler&#8217;s mother<\/p>\n<p>This is a released statement on behalf of his loving family and friends. He died alone without his family at his side, gasping his last breath, he was only a scared little boy&#8230; Rest in Peace. 12\/12\/2008<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So the media has revealed Tyler Cassidy&#8216;s connection to the Southern Cross Soldiers&#8230; Shot Tyler&#8217;s &#8216;nationalist&#8217; MySpace page Mex Cooper The Age December 12, 2008 Shot teen Tyler Cassidy a member of &#8216;white pride&#8217; group Mark Dunn Herald Sun December &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=1544\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-media"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6AyE-oU","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1544"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1544\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
