The city doesn't have that kind of money in the bank? Guess they shouldn't have had a trigger-happy cop who can't tell a child from an assailant on the payroll, then.

NOTE: Any comments defending Aderrien's shooting will be deleted.

Until we can figure out a way to punch those commenters in the mouth* through the internets.

That's because it is. There is enough police brutality here without the grammar police piling on. I'm hoping to g-d this is snark and whoever this person is isn't actually taking umbrage at a word that has been used as slang for a human child since the 16th fucking century. Might as well take umbrage at English dropping the singular/familiar second person pronoun.

Being a sociopath isn't a requirement for the job, but it helps.

It doesn't matter that the City doesn't have that kind of money laying around.

That's why they have insurance.

I used to work for a municipal agency. It is utterly inconceivable (cue Wallace Shawn here) that the city does not have liability insurance, along with E & O, etc.

It needs to come out of their Police Unions...that would stop some of this shit really fast.

I don't know why but the fact that he included his teacher in the list of people he wanted his mom to say he's sorry to hit me a little hard. I guess because it appears that is a relationship he values...

I looked up a pic of Officer Capers. He's black. He's fucked.

He may wear the uniform, but he's not really one of them. He's fucked.

Embarrass him all the way to the bank maybe.

It's not snark. He's very particular about what word usages we present to him on this here mommyblog.

Depends. Does he have to pay for his own ammo, or does the city cover that?

They didn't pay for any of the military shit. The feds handed that out like beads at a Margi Gras parade.
