In Louisiana 2 cops opened fire on a man who had his hands raised and was not being aggressive in anyway, according to the squad cameras. The police shooting killed 6 year old Jeremy Mardis (pictured above as of 4 days ago) and left his father severely injured. Jeremy was described by his teachers as being a bright, kind child, despite suffering from mild autism. http://news.yahoo.com/funeral-planned-boy-killed-marshals-shooting-102538793.html Although details are yet to be released, this appears to be yet another case of police brutality. Although I am furious, I can't help but consider how many lives good cops have saved. This incident is an utter outrage that demands justice, but we must not forget the bigger picture. What do you think should be done to stop police violence? [b]Update:[/b] Some new info on the case. The two cops involved have a pending civil suit for allegedly using excessive force in 2013. One of the officers knew the boys father. Looks like this could be a case of bad apples with a personal grudge. We'll see... http://www.cbsnews.com/news/louisiana-shooting-jeremy-mardis-death-new-details-officers-who-killed-boy/ [b]Update 2[/b] It appears that the entire police force is embroiled in a larger conflict of corruption. http://www.shreveporttimes.com/story/news/watchdog/2015/11/14/marksville-infighting-made-a-bad-situation-worse/75660472/ Edit: [spoiler]I am not posting this to say only violence against African Americans gets reported. The media seizes on the sensational, yes. But to their credit, this story has appeared in several mainstream news venues. I am posting this, not only to bring attention to the tragedy itself, but to affirm that police brutality is a problem across American culture. One that needs to be seriously addressed.[/spoiler]
