While trying to serve a warrant a 6-year-old Louisiana boy was fatally shot by police officers who fired into his father’s car Tuesday night..

Before anyone gets flared up, the father drove away and the cops never knew about the kid. I live in Louisiana and saw what happened.

The coroner said Few reached a dead end and was backing into the marshals when they fired. The coroner said the boy was "caught in the line of fire" and was killed.

But that doesn't go well with your rage does it. Those pesky facts getting in the way.

The cops should have just got run over? The father put his child in danger.

Extremely sad situation.

If I understand the article correctly, the kid's father backed up and rammed the police vehicle. They then got out of their vehicle and opened fire.

I'm not following the logic of exiting the police vehicle to place themselves in harms way as an excuse to open fire. Did they think he was a danger to others?

It doesn't help the family now that the media is pushing this to further their agendas.

You must have good eyesight!

Aren't police supposed to know what they are shooting at?

It can be hard to aim when someone is trying to run you over.

no.

just shoot first, shoot some more, shoot again and when everyones dead try to ask questions.

i guess their life was in danger.

moving out the way of a car is a cowards way out.

they deescalated with extreme prejudice.

Agreed, but that doesn't answer the question.

It was for a friggin warrant!!!
Was it worth it?????

Don't the police have training that would reflect the possiblity that there might be others in the truck and they should be careful ?????

 

[SlowSpyder]

I'm fairly anti-cop, but running from the cops with your child in the car is probably a bad idea all around. The father is to blame.

I think the blame should be on the father, rather than the police, because they make mistakes too. If he didn't run this wouldn't have happened. We can't excuse the crime.

I don't have an answer. I suppose being in the officers shoes might answer it but I've never been in a situation like that.

It's the police who have the GUNS they shouldn't act negligent

No possibility that more than one party is to blame for the child's death?

They did what they felt was the right decision. Personally I disagree with what they did but what happened happened. The father should have made a better decision, considering that he had a kid in the car with him.

But you live in Louisiana and saw what happened.

(Just kidding, this doesn't have to continue.)

they should charge the dad with murder of the kid. what kind of moron tries to run over a cop with a kd in the car

It clearly was the wrong decision
It was for a friggin warrant and it wasn't worth it.
Life is precious

They didn't become hostile over a warrant, and he shouldnt' have attacked the officers over a warrant.

You're right. Life is precious, but consider what would have happened if he had sped away with the kid. There would have been a police chase and more people would have been hurt.

The truck was boxed in with police vehicles.
Not one tire was shot out..

Most of the fault lies with the father. Hard to see it any other way.

Do you think the cops started shooting because of the warrant? They started shooting (allegedly) because of the perp ramming their car.
