And his partner will likely receive the same sentence. Strange case because the cops are black and victims are white. The cops were arrested within 72 hours and was indicted VERY swiftly. They had no police support and the victim (father) got a lot of sympathy although he led cops on a short chase. Hmmmm....no one is questioning why the driver didn't just comply. Rumors are that he had his hands up.
The cops claimed that he was intoxicated and backed into their car, and the cop car does have minor damage.
All that aside, I'm glad these cops are getting Buck Rogers years for killing this child. But justice sure did move rather swiftly in this case.
I live nearby. The cop's family are blaming white people saying if the races were different then the cops would be innocent. This isn't true because these two cops are on video shooting at the truck while it was stopped and the driver had his hands out the window. There was a recent case of a white cop who shot and killed a black man. The white cop was also tried in court because of the video.

Local news story with the cop's family's reaction to the verdict.
What about the guy not complying immediately, or how he backed into the officer's car? Very dangerous, right? Why those cops could've been endangered by such a circumstance, right? They deserve the benefit of the doubt, don't they? After all, cops can overreact when they have to think fast in such situations...yeah?
Yes it's a tragedy that the child was killed, but if the father had only complied and not led cops on a chase, his son would still be alive, right?
Ooops...I apologize. For a minute I thought that the racial roles had been reversed. Never mind.

Except the video shows the victim's truck not moving and his hands outside the truck when the cops started shooting. As for why he didn't comply immediately, turns out the victim and the boy's mom have a personal history with one of the two cops and he made calls expressing fear for his life from the cop.
