Cops shoot, kill autistic boy, 6

[TheSportsPredictor]

This thread is almost as long as the one about the 9-year-old killed in Chicago, a kid you've shown you don't care about.

... caring about anything that doesn't allow them to act smugly and **** on people who disagree with them. I'm certainly guilty of that at times.

Huh, this is among the damndest things ever posted here.

This doesn't appear to be, as Jay suggests, an open-and-shut case we'd be better off ignoring.

I suggested no such thing. I'd just like the see where the investigation goes before I get my panties in a wad about something.

Nothing about the case makes the slightest bit of ****ing sense but I'll let you get started on the hashtag campaign to raise awareness of this murder of a child that everyone agrees is a horrific thing and already has a high level of national awareness.

I'll just say I suspect there's a lot more to this story than currently meets the eye. And if what I think is going to come out comes out, it's going to look even worse than it already does.

See my post on that thread. I've been following that story, too. Look, I don't want to get bogged down in dealing with a loser whose only quasi-joy comes from predictable and boring posts on this site.

Anyway, yeah, dq. My first thought is that it's some kind of contract killing and/or drug-related matter.

The one you posted just now? I'd rate your level of concern for that kid at a 6.

I'm glad -- well, you know -- that you said it before I did.

Why does Mr. Sunshine only care when black cops shoot kids?

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

That's the best you could come up with after consulting with your peers?

Why don't you care about this story?

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

Doesn't sound like either of these guys should have been cops. One was indicted for rape -- twice. Also sounds like the reason behind the shooting was petty bull****, making the boy's death even more tragic.

Geez.

If all of that is true, and there's every reason to believe it is, this is more egregious and cold-hearted than almost any other cop-related incident I can think of.

I had it in my head that it might have been some sort of cop-on-the-take hit ...

Weren't they marshals? That's probably a distinction without a difference, but I'm mostly curious, given that the sum total of my marshal knowledge comes from watching the entire run of Justified. Is there a difference in recruiting/screening?

 

[Mr. Sunshine]

Screening seems to have been a little lax.

Interesting. Sounds like it could have been a personal beef. If no body camera, they probably would have skated.

Disappointing to see at least two typos/mistakes in that story on a quick read.

Think of city marshals as like a court bailiff.

And this very much appears to be a case where the city marshal decided to kill the guy and the kid got caught up in the shooting.

I believe they were both cops, working as marshals while off duty.

One was a cop, the other was a reserve officer.

I don't know if a reserve officer is considered sworn law enforcement in Louisiana or not.

In lots of places, a reserve officer just means you like to play dress up.

Either way, I doubt "cold-blooded killing" is in the job description.
