Anyone who would be on cloud 9 over a child's death must be a really sick person.
Clearly those involved (nor me nor freedom462) aren’t on cloud 9 because this kid was killed.
Say what you want about lawyers but I don’t think there is a lawyer in the US, no matter how craven, who wants people to die so he or she can pursue a case.
But this facebook posting (if authentic, but who could make that up?) is very nearly prima facie evidence that the cop who shot the guy was incompetent.
Slam dunk lawsuit wise, provided there was, in fact, no gun.
As of right now the only way we have to punish such malefactors as this officer is via the courts; I hope that remains the best way to redress these blatant wrongs.
