PING...

Oh yes, he was a very good kid. Now they can pull out his 4th grade picture, like the one they used for that 13 yr. old gangbanger in LA who nearly rant over police in a stolen car and was shot in progress of a dangerous felony.

Miller was a good kid who checked up on his grandmother and stayed off the streets.

Oh, well, then the cops should have disregarded his other reckless and dangerous behaviors. He was such a good boy (and Hitler liked puppies, I've heard).

"Relatives said Miller was a good kid who checked up on his grandmother and stayed off the streets."

"He wasn't that kind of kid. He was a good kid," said family spokeswoman Joelle Cornelius."

Naturally...

Then he returned and drove through the campus and its outdoor corridors, police said. Students were dodging his car.

Sure did stay off the streets, was on the sidewalks!

Teenager wounded by Delray officer in shooting outside dance

A 16-year-old Atlantic High School student who was at the school's gate said he saw the teenager driving up and down the street.

Then, the student said, the driver "came in the gate and was stopped by the police. The police said, 'Let me see your license.'."

At that point, the student said, the driver pulled off, swerving, and police fired at the car. He said the car was pulling away when police fired. He said he heard two shots.

The driver, who was alone in the car, was turning down a courtyard -- chasing people out of the path of the car -- when he was hit, and the car crashed, the student said.

One way or the other, there's a LOT more to this story.

I'll wait till it comes out.

''He wasn't that kind of kid. He was a good kid,'' said family spokeswoman Joelle Cornelius.

Delray Full Service Center is an alternative school for students with discipline problems.

Yeah, they're always such good kids.

[Fast1]

Driving thru the school !! People dodging out of the way;and they wonder why the angel was shot.

[yellowdoghunter]

What are the odds that this child is from a broken home? If we find out that both his parents were losers, then they should be held accountable also. It is one thing to try to be a good parent and then your kid goes off the deep end, it is quite another when neither parent is around or gives a damn.

Flamesuit on.....

[-=Wing_0_Walker=-]

Sounds to me like an AH Barney Fife instead of a bad kid. Fired "A" shot to stop the car. My ASS. Police are trained to say "Stop the action."

[Larry Lucido]

It's time for someone to pipe up that "Any cop that can't disarm a 16 year old boy without shooting shouldn't be on the force."

[Joe 6-pack]

"...Miller was a good kid who...stayed off the streets."

That's what they said about the drunk who insisted on driving down the sidewalk....

[RichInOC]

Well, I suppose driving around campus seemed like a good idea at the time....

[ladylib]

Delray Full Service Center? Sounds like a car repair shop.

[Publius Scipio]

If you are actively endangering the public, don't come crying to me when you get blasted. This is just another case of natural selection in action.

[Arkinsaw]

If you are a police officer and there is a dance being held, filled with kids. A car comes up. You stop it and try to get an ID. The car lurches forward onto the school grounds and starts heading towards the building.

After 911 what is your first thought?

What do you do seeing this car heading for a building filled with kids?

[thefactor]

Every police dept has different guidelines pertaining to the use of deadly physical force. The actions of this cop could have been in line with his dept guidelines or not. I know where I live, the cops are NEVER allowed to use deadly force against an automoblie UNLESS there is deadly force being used by the driver of the car BY SOME MEANS OTHER THAN THE CAR. In other words, if he is driving recklessly, the cops are not allowed to shoot at the car. If the driver is shooting out the window, however, you are allowed to shoot. And there is no such thing as shooting at tires up here.

''He wasn't that kind of kid."

LOL! Apparently he was exactly that kind of kid. Either that or Helen Keller took over the wheel.
