We all agree that the policeman who fired was in the wrong; if you want to continue to bitch about that fact, START YOUR OWN THREAD!! -- and stop hijacking this one.
You figure that only talking about one half of the subject is sufficient? Will you finally be concerned when you're the next victim?
In 1968, when I had just been released from an almost year-long stay in the hospital for gunshot wounds I had from combat in Vietnam, I was pulled over by a LAPD cop. For some reason, he mistook my car for the car of a reported armed robber. Before I had time to even understand what was happening, he had my door open and was pulling me from the driver's seat with a 12 gauge in my face and he was in a high state of agitation. It was a close thing. Another innocent guy across the city was pulled over the same way and shot to death because they thought he was the robber they were looking for. He wasn't.
Police cannot and must not be a blind weapon that can kill without consequences, even when just called into action by a sick bastard who wants to cause trouble.

The very basic problem is that Louie linked to an article which spends most of it’s time talking about the police actions.
He should have written his own article with sole focus on the kid.
TXnMA,
You see to feel some higher power has imbued in you some sort of authority over FR that the actual owners of FR have not.
Ping the mods if you don’t like us commenting on the actual content of the actual article that was posted so people could actually comment on it.
