Heroic Cop Kills 5 Year-Old Boy

[Nega-Brent]

And his punishment is paid leave.

The grandfather is right, had this been the act of a regular citizen they would be in jail and have charges filed against them already.

"This is so bizarre it has to be fully investigated," he said. "We're pretty sure circumstantially that it is the bullet from the police officer's gun, but it might be a bullet from someone else."

[Nega-Brent]

The snake must have been packing.

[Tanni Foemangler]

i think someone really was trying to kill the boy and his grandpa and those cops were just in the wrong place at the wrong time

[GummyBearOfDoom]

Who the hell reports a snake in a tree to the police...

[Gundampilotspaz]

:snakes: :snakes: :snakes: :snakes: :snakes:

That comment is absolutely inexcusable.

This is the reason why I don't, and never will, trust cops.

Yeah, it couldn't have possibly been the stupid cop who was shooting at a snake in a tree.

[Ceraziefish]

Seems like it was an accident, but the cops didn't fucking help that kid? Fuck them.

[Mithrandir]

Looks to me like an accident, but a charge of involuntary manslaughter seems appropriate.

[Tanni Foemangler]

never. completely out of the question

[Poophy]

Aren’t snakes covered by animal control?

[Elitist Indie Hipster]

thats terrible. Its like a case that is going on in a town right by mine. A drunk guy got shot IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD, while in the detainment center of trhe cop shop. And apparently it was in self defense and the cop , last i heard is looking to get a slap on the wrist.

[DreamerGirl]

That cop needs to be hunted down and murdered.

Besides, everyone knows that when you have a gun you don't shoot unless you know what is behind your target in case you miss. I don't even use guns and I know that. Who trains these geniuses?

If that snake wasn't venomous I'm going to be even more mad. I mean, seriously. Let's shoot at the HARMLESS snake when there's other people around because it HISSED AT US.

Honestly, I hate the fact that cops carry guns. I mean, some need them, but they are trained enough to handle it properly. It scares me.

[The Lone Magician]

How the crap do you shoot at a tree and hit somebody in a lake?

[FaultyClockwork]

A police officer shooting at a snake apparently killed a 5-year-old boy who was fishing at a nearby pond, officials said.

That's interesting.

[Nega-Brent]

How the crap do you shoot at a tree and hit somebody in a lake?

Low hanging branch, one side of the lake is higher than the other thanks to a hill, small tree, dumb cop, etc.

I hope that the investigation actually happens and the cop gets a nice little sentence. It won't be too long, but a few years is better than administrative leave.

[punroc1]

Ya i hope that cop gets fucked for life for a fucked up thing like that.

[Ceraziefish]

Ya i hope that cop gets fucked for life for a fucked up thing like that.

...As stupid as he is, there's no reason to fuck up two people's lives for this.

I think a sentence of a stiff fine and a few years in prison is sufficient. It was an accident, he knows what he did is wrong and he probably feels fucking terrible about it.

But "OMG he killed a kid he's not human anymore."

I agree that he's probably a dumb asshole but it's his right as a human to not be completely fucked for the rest of his life.

[ROCKSTEADY]

fuck pigs.

there are no good cops.

[Pamuya]

good lord

and yeah, i'm pretty sure that uh...animal control is supposed to deal with animals. cops are NOT trained to deal with snakes, as far as i know.

somewhat true, but I don't like how cops have the "It was an accident" excuse. Look, i have all the respect in the worl for most cops, but there is no excuse for stupidity with a gun. If you have a gun, know what the fuck you're doing before you fire it. Also, he shouldn't ahve been shooting at the snake in the first place, animal control should handle that. he should get whatever the charges would be for a non cop who does the same thing would be.

[Nega-Brent]

I don't think cops should get special treatment, if anything they should be punished more for abusing their power. If you break the law you should receive the same treatment and punishment regardless of who you are.
