quote [ Officer Robert Rialmo responded to a domestic disturbance call at Quintonio LeGrier's home on December 26.
The 19-year-old died after suffering six gunshot wounds. The autopsy report showed four of them were located on the back of his body. Rialmo now wants to sue LeGrier and his family on the grounds of assault and emotional distress, CBS Chicago reported. ] Windy City's gotten a lot colder in the last few years.
I cannot help thinking that US police in general is pretty much out of control these days. Not only do officers shoot anyone holding some sort of weapon (or what they think could be a weapon or used as a weapon) on sight regardless of whether the holder is a threat to them, they apparently feel the need to fuck with the lives of their families and blame their own mistakes - shooting bystanders - on others.

Yeah, absolutely, though I think in the US legal system, blaming the death on innocent bystanders on the perpetrator of a crime if the police used firearms to stop said crome is how it's supposed to work.
lawcomic.net did a good series on that, if I remember correctly. Man robs bank using firearm but doesn't fire it. Police arrives and shoots but instead of perpetrator kills kid. Man surrenders and is now tried for murder of the kid.
