Louisiana police concede officers fired shots that killed six-year-old boy | US news | The Guardian

This is getting plenty of local coverage and was covered in a UK newspaper. Why no national coverage here in USA? Summary-city marshals tried to stop a car. They claimed they were trying to issue a warrant. The marshals shot into the car killing the driver's 6 year old son and seriously injuring the father/driver. Turns out there is no warrant, there is a personal feud between the driver and a member of the city marshals, and the city marshals have been overstepping their authority by patrolling the city streets as if they're the city's PD. Now the officers involved won't even speak with the investigating state PD.

I have no words for this except to say that this is absolutely terrible, and IF what is being reported is true, the officers who shot their guns should all be sent to prison for murder.

Seems like a big story to me though, not even on the Today Show which includes just about anything as news. Maybe if Kim Kardashian had been related to the kid, it would have gotten more play, IDK.

Wow! This is such a WTF story. You'd think it would be all over the media. Someone needs to do the viral Facebook thing, perhaps if the national media is ignoring it.

Given the recent cases, I'm sure the jury will mistrial or just straight let them off the hook. Sickening. I hope these fools rot in prison, but realistically they won't. So we'll just have to settle with hoping they at least are tormented in every thought of every day, and every dream of every night, with what they did. May they never experience peace again.

Reading the thread and all the articles I don't understand what I am reading. Cop's moonlighting as marshals, but acted out side of there authority as marshals tired to pull over Few for no apparent legal reason and when he refused to stop they chased him. When he did stop the marshals shot him and his kid no questions asked. Does that sum it up?

This maybe one of the most twisted stories I have ever read. Why isn't it getting national attention??
