“I think they should be charging him. If somebody gets shot four times, I mean, that was aiming at him,” Cauthen’s grandmother, Diane said.

"The family of the teen who defended himself has received death threats."

So locals allowed a whole nest of crooks to get away with crimes for some time. It's interesting to have a look at situations like that a few years later.

It is to be hoped that police officers will learn the same confidence and self-restraint.
