…and seeing that police officers are known to do stuff like this here; I do not halfway blame them.
The Story:
Alamo Heights, Texas (CNN) — Valerie Redus has spent much of her time crying, since her son Cameron was killed by a campus police officer in Texas last week.
For now, she and her husband Mickey are withholding judgment about who was at fault for his death — their 23-year-old son or Cpl. Christopher Carter, who shot him Friday.
“We wish that everybody else would do the same, would reserve judgment until facts are known,” Mickey Redus told CNN’s George Howell late Tuesday.
The official account has left the Reduses in disbelief.

I pray for this woman; no parent should ever have to go through something like this, ever. 😡
I think it is about time that Conservatives and Republicans started pressuring the Congress of the United States to pass some sort of a law limiting the use of deadly force and/or outlawing swat teams in police departments. Because of stuff like this right here. Furthermore, I believe that the penalties for shooting someone in a situation like this and killing them, should be life in prison automatically.
Just my opinion.
