"MARKSVILLE, La. (AP) — Police body camera video shows the father of a 6-year-old autistic boy had his hands up and posed no threat as police opened fire into his car, severely wounding the motorist and killing his son, the man's lawyer said Monday."

For more details on prior history of the 2 marshalls:
http://thefreethoughtproject.com/cops-literally-raping-brutalizing-town-impunity-prior-murdering-6-yo-boy/

Marshall Norris Greenhouse Jr.'s father is district attorney Norris Greenhouse Sr. The original judge had to step down because he was inured with the DA Greenhouse Sr.
Each marshal is held on $1 million bond charged with 2nd degree murder and attempted 2nd degree murder. The boy's father is still alive, recovering from gunshot wounds.

18 shots fired, 5 hit the boy in HEAD and TORSO (kill shots), he still had his seat belt on. Poor boy...

From the very beginning of training, these men are taught to not pull the trigger unless they intend to kill it and to be aware of what is in the background before firing. 

This country is in serious need of MORE GUN CONTROL, literally.

I don't see these guys getting less than murder, if they do, may justice be righteously served in some other way.

All for supporting LEO, but this sounds massed up.

Hope they rot in prison.R.I.P.JEREMY

not much media...

the drama intensifies over the killing of a 6 year old boy, Jeremy Mardis, 6 days ago


-the boy's father, Chris Few, was initially suspected to have warrants, he had none
-no apparent reason released for the pull-over other than suspected warrant
-the killing occurred at a dead end
-there could be more suspects in the form of witnesses who corroborated with the officers' false testimony
-possible grudge with the boy's father

Because "crooked cop" headlines get more views?

It's more likely that the news outlets got the story wrong from the start and want to cover their tracks. I remember the original reporting being: a 911 call for a violent domestic dispute led to the father fleeing the scene when the police arrived. After a high speed pursuit, the father was erratic and refused to exit the vehicle, so the police shot not knowing a child was there. (Strange how all the articles from that day have disappeared of have been amended to include new info.)

The original story makes the father look like an irresponsible asshat that caused the death of his child.  And the revised one turns the tables on the police as corrupt trigger happy child killers.



Either way, the death of a 6 year old baby is tragic regardless of the who, how or why.

White victims,  black officers.

One factor no one seems to throw into the mix is the disposition of the case at the moment.  Presently, the two Cops in this case have been charged with 2nd degree murder and attempted 2nd degree murder.  Both officers are being held on $1,000,000 bond each.

When the perps are arrested and awaiting trial, there really isn't much more that can be done at the moment.  There will be investigations, and there will be prosecutions.  Hopefully there will also be severe sentencing even if the Cops decide to accept a plea deal.

Had the DA not pressed charges or if the cases end with no punishments, THEN is the time to raise the roof.  As for the media, they love a good controversy.  There's nothing controversial when Cops shoot seemingly innocent people and then get arrested for murder. 


The other cases in the news causing such unrest have been cases of resisting or assaulting a police officer or Concealed Carrier.  Charges were initially not preferred because the actions were deemed justified.  It's at that point the race card was played to the hilt!  "You're only letting these white Cops walk because they shot an unarmed black teenager."  "It's okay to choke a black man selling cigarettes in New York if the Cops are white."  "White Cops killed a black teen in Baltimore when they threw him in the back of a van."

It's gotten to the point DAs are going to feel pressured to summarily press charges on ANY white citizen who kills a minority just to avoid the appearance of playing racial favorites AND to avoid the USDOJ from sending investigators down to look for insensitive emails the Cops may have ever sent at anytime in their careers. 

Things are going to get much worse before they get any better.

It's sickening to consider, but you've probably got the reason right. The media is despicable.

That needs to be the view. I am sure these Marshalls feel horrible, but they really should know better from their training. Very sad.

Seems like every since a certain fellow had the seat in office. Incidents on blacks have been glorified in the media.

Either way, the death of a 6 year old baby is tragic regardless of the who, how or why.

Tragic indeed, all the more reason to find out what really happened

who: Derrick Stafford, Norris Greenhouse Jr.
why: thought Chris Few to be a threat following a pursuit
how: by gun shots, fired recklessly into his vehicle in an attempt to fatally wound Chris Few, and unknowing of other passenger in car, then giving an account unsubstantiated by the video recorded by their body cameras

When police deem lethal force necessary, they tend to make sure there is only one account of the story.  The advent of the body camera adds a third-person point of view, a 2nd account of the story in the case that the other witness, being the "perp", should succumb to lethal force.  I think body cams are the way to go, a way to keep police brutality in check.
