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.
You can bet your BP that the cops will find a gun before this is over. They have already started their lying and coverup. First she was crying, them she thought she saw a gun. Next thing, the gun he was supposedly holding in his hand will mysteriously appear. Then it will be told that he initially fired multiple shots at her. And last but not least, drugs will be discovered in the house and child porn will be discovered on their computer[s].
So, let’s see. This officer doesn’t have deep pockets, and neither do her various superiors. So money will be taken from taxpayers. At the end of the day, no one will feel the consequences of this death. The lesson for the officer and the police bureaucrats is that, it’s really not that bad to kill a child.
