In reply to the discussion: Cops sorry for shooting black guy. They actually wanted to shoot autistic guy playing with toy car. [View all]rateyes
(17,438 posts)7. The cop pulled off three rounds from a long gun
at close range, and missed his target? Bullshit. A blind monkey could make that shot. Plus, he was told by the victim that he was a counselor, the other guy had a toy truck and no guns were needed. Then, after the shooting they handcuffed the guy the cop was supposedly trying to protect and let him bleed for 20 mins?
If this cop gets off with this explanation, I hate to think what will happen.

When this kind of thing happens, the ENTIRE COP ORGANIZATION needs to be investigated.
