Yes, I've noticed they have been designing guns to look like babies recently, so the officer was obviously justified in killing the man........

An Arizona man was shot to death by police Tuesday while holding his grandson.
Police say 50-year-old John Loxas was holding his grandchild in his arms as he walked around his Scottsdale neighborhood Tuesday night threatening neighbors and police.
"There were at least three officers in position to engage the suspect. At least one of the officers thought he saw something in the suspect's hands," said Sgt. Mark Clark.
Loxas was standing outside of his home with his grandchild still in his arms when Officer James Peters fired one shot to the head, killing the suspect.
Police say the 9-month-old boy was not injured during the shooting.
Officers also escaped unharmed.
Some neighbors are now questioning the officers actions.
Investigators say the officers on the scene thought Loxas was holding a gun.
"Officer Peters, who fired the fatal shot, has been involved in seven shootings over the past decade."
ReplyDelete"Six of them have been fatal. All have been ruled to be justified."
Sounds like they have at least one sociopath on the force. And a bunch of people covering for each other.
Also sounds like they need some followup training on weapons identification.
"If it's crying, it probably isn't a gun"
My sister lives in Scottsdale. Her husband is a Maricopa County Deputy.
Just kill the suspect. That way the officer can go home safe. (Ayoob)
One shot to the head.
