Hey - that 3" screwdriver happens to be a lethal 'pick' - like the ones you swing with both hands to crack rocks - as in
skulls. My apologies to the officer - you didn't kill the boy because you forgot your taser at home, you did so because you 'didn't have time for this', and I agree... we are so busy these days, and forget about all the sleep you lose worrying about vicious kids with screwdrivers. Good kill!!!
'Wilsey said his family called the police to help with his son who has schizophrenia and had a small screwdriver in his hand.
Officers used a Taser on Vidal and then shot him, according to Wilsey.
Wilsey said officers had his son down on the ground after the teen was tased a few times and an officer said, "we don't have time for this."
That's when Wilsey says the officer shot in between the officers holding the teen down, killing his son.
"There was no reason to shoot this kid," Wilsey said. "They killed my son in cold blood. We called for help and they killed my son."
The family said police shot Vidal because he had the screwdriver in his hand. They said it was a tiny screwdriver, though, that would not have hurt anyone.
Both parents said they had to watch their son die in front of them. They said Vidal had just turned 18 years old and only weighed about 90 pounds.'
