Some articles say the officer was ordered by the operator not to pursue, others says that order was made by a superior. While this may not have anything to do with the shooting, I suspect it will pay an important role in the lawsuit. Additionally, he should have been fired if he disregarded a superiors order that ultimately resulted in a death.

At this point, due to minor inconsistencies like that, I think there's something we aren't being told.

There's a lot of "the mother said" in that article. Makes me suspect right there.



No. Not A suspect.:sneaky:
 
( Mod note, before I reply: I'd have locked the thread if it was a 10 month old article, but the article is from yesterday, hence is "recent" news.)

I agree with the only one side of a story part - who knows what the kid was armed with from the shed. Many people keep garden tools that could easily act as lethal weapons. Start coming toward me with a machete, and I have a gun drawn, and guess what's going to happen.

There's a major piece of information missing in this story: despite the fact that he sounds like a bad cop, was the shooting deemed as a justified shooting or not? I'm going to guess it was, because if it wasn't, it wouldn't just be a lawsuit.

Meh, I could care less. With charges of drug possession, assault, theft and he's only fourteen, one could see he would've been much more dangerous in the future. What the cop did wasn't right but there are more important things to worry about, like shitty parenting which was the ultimate cause of this tragedy. Parents should also be punished in this case.

Exactly. no one ever changes from childhood to adulthood ever.

Execution for future crimes? What could possibly go wrong?
 
Here's a simple rule that everyone should follow, don't fuck with cops, and you won't get shot by them.
