I saw local news coverage about this shortly after it happened, and I was ... not shocked.

A small child calls 911 to ask for help, and the cops show up in armed force ready to shoot some bad guys. The address to responding to is in a black neighborhood. So the cops start out with their weapons drawn.

That kid never had a chance. The cops more anxious to shoot, and they did.

The bullet came within centimeters of killing that kid.

And the cowboy killer cop who did it is getting a paid vacation.

I'd like to know why he's not sitting in a jail cell waiting for indictment and a trial by a jury of his peers.

Cops in the United States are out of control. They're violent, bullying, murderous, and racist.
