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.

IM SORRY WHAT

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.

Im absolutely done.

Sometimes I just kinda wanna cry because in the MCU, Steven Grant Rogers:

  • Was violently bullied throughout his childhood and into adulthood.
  • Watched his mother waste away and die.
  • Was an orphan by his mid-to-late teens.
  • Grew up in poverty, during the Great Depression, as the child of immigrants .
  • Grew up color-blind, partially-deaf, malnourished/stunted, and chronically-ill, in a culture that was so big on eugenics that Nazis took their cues from the US systems.
  • Signed up for the army and then dove on what he believed to be a live grenade because he believed the best use of his life was to exchange it for the lives of others.
  • Fought on the front lines of the bloodiest and most horrific war in human history, where he undoubtedly witnessed terrible violence and atrocities.
  • Watched his best friend die and lived with the guilt of believing he was responsible.
  • Crashed a plane into the ocean, fully believing he was going to die.
  • Was frozen alive.
  • Woke up to find that nearly everyone he’d ever known was dead and gone, and his home was changed nearly beyond recognition; he could never truly go home from the war. Ever.
  • Lost his shot at happiness with the one woman who ever actually looked at him when he was small and frail, and had to watch her mind come apart, and later carry her coffin.
  • Found out his sacrifice – the thing he gave up his life, his friends, his whole world for – was in vain, and that HYDRA had corrupted the legacy of the people he loved.
  • Found out his best friend survived, and that he’d abandoned him to a fate worse than death, and got to then live with THAT fresh guilt.
  • Is seen by most people as Captain America; almost no one sees Steve Rogers.
  • Was only 26 years old, biologically, during the Battle of New York. 
  • Has not had the time or resources to cope with any of this.
