they were college students and they needed swat to serve an arrest warrant that is BS. That was an execution. Those police officers will probably get off.

Did you even READ the article?? It says the kid was holding what could have been the game controller when the cops busted down the door. It was mistaken for a weapon which was why he was shot.

The problem isn't the cops. The problem is when a cop yells "put down the GUN!" and the person responds "its a playstation controler" and the cop replys "put down the GUN!" and they don't respond with dropping anything and the cop shoots. If the cop yells put down the gun, I don't car if you have a ******* balloon in your hand, throw it on the ******* ground. If a cop thinks their life is being threatened don't argue with them.

It also says this guy beat the victim to the ground so he and another guy could take two game units from him. It doesn't matter what was taken, if you rob someone and beat them to the ground you are going to be considered dangerous by the police who come to serve the felony (robbery) arrest warrant.

It's just a shame that the cops may lose their jobs for making the world a better place.

Thieves need to be shot and their parents jailed for making them thieves. I would have put a bullet in his head.

"If this boy would've come to the door, opened the door, we probably wouldn't be talking," the sheriff said Sunday.
This boy was so tied up with the games he could not save his own life.

The police can Taser you; they can beat you; they can shoot you; they can kill you. All they have to say is that they feared for their own life. End of investigation, end of civil rights.
