A Boston police officer has been charged with manslaughter in connection with the deadly shooting of a carjacking suspect last week.
Nicholas O'Malley, 33, of Boston, was arrested Thursday morning and was arraigned in Roxbury District Court in connection with the fatal shooting of Stephenson King, 39, of Dorchester, on March 11. He entered a not guilty plea and was released on personal recognizance, with a condition that he surrender any firearms in his possession.
Court paperwork said the manslaughter charge against O'Malley is for "assaulting and beating Stephenson King when they knew or reasonably should have known that the battery endangered human life." Police reports included in court documents also detail how O'Malley shot King three times even though neither he nor his partner were in danger of being struck by his car and King was not armed.

Is this a second charge? Against the same guy?
And he gets out without bail?
That seems a little nuts.
Sounds like he was busy doing his job. If your personal preference is to not get shot, then don’t try to steal other people’s cars. Horse thieves used to meet a similar fate.
It’s not like they were being forced to steal.
I don’t have a lot of info about the second guy, Stephenson King. Similar story, I suspect.
“Is this a second charge? Against the same guy?”
Which guy?
It’s ridiculous to expect normal people to live near them let alone to police them or be judged by them.
Complete insanity.
the Boston mayor might be the looniest of em all..man, what has happened to these once great cities.
What has happened in the broadest sense is commie infestation.
He wasn’t just stealing a car. He was stealing it with a weapon from someone in the car. Then he obviously didn’t surrender to the police. The police need to wait to get runover or shot.
Police do not have the right to take someone’s life because it is a bad area or that someone crashes into a cop car or does not stop. The cop’s life has to be in danger. Which was not the case...
He hit a car with a car. He was unarmed, and the cops get to kill him?? I think not.He should not have taken the car, or hit the cop car but that does not justify killing him.
Leftists favor:
1) Criminals over cops
2) Illegals over Americans
3) Islamists over Christians
4) Depraved over decent
5) Quotas over achievement
Who’s on first?
Whoever wrote this headline is an idiot.
As we’ve seen in other cases (Chauvin), the facts do not necessarily matter when democrats have decided to judicially lynch a cop. Btw, a car is a weapon when used as one.
“He hit a car with a car. He was unarmed, and the cops get to kill him?? I think not.He should not have taken the car, or hit the cop car but that does not justify killing him.”
People are getting real tired of vicious criminals and if lathe government doesn’t deal with the animals people will seek vigilante justice - it’s an ancient American tradition.
“The report said O’Malley, outside the driver’s window and while holstering his gun in favor of a Taser, then shouted to King: “Bro, I’m gonna (expletive) shoot you.” King immediately put the car in reverse and backed into the cruiser behind him.
King then maneuvered his vehicle forward, reverse, and forward again in an attempt to escape police. At the moment when the vehicle began to move forward the last time, the police report said O’Malley again drew his gun and fired three shots at King through the driver’s window.”
It is a embarrassment to our country that the officer is being charged by retarded evil leftist prosecutors. Don’t understand anyone here siding with the Soros DA.
It is a shockingly poorly written headline - the press in American is packed with idiots. There is only one incident, and one charge. This is what they meant to say:
Boston police officer Nicholas O’Malley, 33, was arrested and charged Thursday morning in connection with the fatal shooting last week of carjacking suspect, Stephenson King, 39, of Dorchester.
Regards,
Now i see it. What a crap headline.
O’Malley is going to get Chauvined.
It’s a Hobson’s choice…get assaulted or killed or get a prison term.
