A Teen Was Having Car Trouble. A Sheriff’s Deputy Shot and Killed Him.

Lonoke County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Michael Davis stopped 17-year-old Hunter Brittain near Cabot, Arkansas, at about 3 a.m. last Wednesday, and it’s still unclear why. Hunter had been having trouble with his truck when Davis pulled in behind him outside of a local auto repair shop and flashed his emergency lights, according to the account of a 16-year-old riding with Hunter at the time. When Hunter went to put the antifreeze behind his back tire so his vehicle wouldn’t roll into the officer’s, Davis allegedly fired at him.

lol fragile white cop brain.

weird, I was just coming here after reading the same story.

My thought -- how is "stomping on a sign and smirking" intimidating to the level of a hate crime to a target who is armed, has military experience, and can basically charge people with crimes? We all know who holds the power in that scenario. Hate crimes are basically to protect minorities who don't hold the power in situations where they are at risk of victimization/abuse.

The NYT has a piece out today about police shooting and killing people in rural America. Of course these shootings are rarely to never reported on. I refuse to link that paywalled crap but the article below is excellent and I really urge people to read and follow The Marshall Project. There is no comprehensive database on police shootings and that is by design.
