    once again, a child was shot, the shooter will be rewarded, and a bunch of people who did nothing wrong will pay for it

    I’m sure the officer thought it was a dog and was excited at getting to shoot a defenseless animal feared for his life

    Obvious racism and corruption aside, the reason most often cited for not charging officers that irresponsibly discharge their weapons and harm civilians is that they were following the protocol they were taught as officers. Are there any attempts to get these protocols and training changed and if so, why aren’t they being reported on in the news?

    I would have liked to have been a bug on the wall to hear the grand jury deliberate this one. I mean I get the knee jerk reaction, but even so a kid who it seemingly was complying with instructions, gets shot anyway. How is that not negligent?

    They also need to charge who ever gave him that haircut. Poor kid.
