Eric Stillman shot and killed 13-year-old Adam Toledo in Chicago on March 29.
Stillman's lawyer said it was "disheartening" that "very few" people have asked after his client.
The lawyer said there was little interest in the officer "who was required to use deadly force."
A lawyer for the police officer who shot and killed 13-year-old Adam Toledo has complained that very few people had asked how his client was doing.
The lawyer for Eric Stillman told The Daily Beast: "What is amazing and disheartening is that very few have asked about the welfare of the officer."
He said: "Specifically there is very little interest in the wellbeing of the officer and the impact experienced by the officer who was required to use deadly force in the line of duty. The officer involved has served his country and his city with honor and deserves our support."
Toledo was fatally shot in Chicago on March 29.
The attorney saidthere was "irrefutable evidence" his client was in the right because "all prior attempts to deescalate and gain compliance with all of the officers lawful orders had failed," according to The Daily Beast.
An incident report released by a police watchdog agency listed Stillman, 34, as a "victim" in an aggravated assault of a law-enforcement officer. According to a tactical response report released by COPA, Toledo was armed with a semi-automatic pistol, which was "displayed, not used" during the incident.
But body camera footage shows Toledo turning to face the officer with his hands up. An attorney for his family asserts he was not holding a gun when he was shot.
