A cop killed an unarmed boy in front of his family in a courtroom and a grand jury ruled that his use of deadly force was reasonable.

So the cop lost his temper and started beating up this kids mom. The kid intervened and the cop pinned him to the ground. While he was already pinned to the ground and not fighting, the cop shot him point blank. And the jury ruled that a reasonable use of lethal force. Am I reading this right? Who are these bootlicking pieces of shit they keep getting for these juries?
From the article
—————————
Following the shooting, the Fraternal Order of Police issued a statement in support of their police officer. Executive Vice President Keith Ferrell said:
“Whenever somebody attacks an officer, there’s always a
weapon involved, always because the officer is always armed…There’s
always likelihood, the probability, that that person could get your
weapon, incapacitate you with a non-lethal weapon, and then get your
sidearm. We’re trained, absolutely that you can’t allow that to
happen…It was very clear to me, and in my experiences, that he was
attacked and this was a fight for his life at some point.”Same tired old “he feared for his life” bullshit argument from cops. Sounds like cops are a bunch of trigger happy cowards.
His name was Joseph Haynes. He was a 16 year old boy shot point blank by the officer straddling his prone form while his mom and grandmother watched. Instead of immediately calling for medical aid, the cop first called for back up to remove Joseph’s family. They were dragged away while he lay dying on the floor.
Where the fuck is the White Pride crowd? Where the fuck is the All Lives matter? Where the fuck is the MRA?
They’re pinning kids down and shooting them, apparently.
Reblogging in case anyone wants to say we don’t care when it’s not Black kids. We care when it’s police victimizing the very people they are supposed to be protecting and serving. Period.
This is disgusting. What in the hell?
Police have too much power. They hold life and death in their hands and they know it and they abuse it and they are protected from any consequences from it. It’s SICK.
I have never heard of this shooting and it happened in January of 2018. (x) You can’t control a 16 year old so you shoot him point blank. Death awaits him and he better be ready for judgement day.
So basically, cops need guns because the bad guys have guns.
But it’s okay because cops are only allowed to use lethal force to defend themselves against lethal force.
By the way, every time a cop gets in a fight, they need to consider that the person attacking them is using lethal force because they could take away the cop’s gun and kill them with it.
