Reaction to Cop Shooting 13-Year-Old Boy Is Strong but Complex

On Feb. 3, prosecutors declined to file charges against an LAPD officer who repeatedly beat a black auto-theft suspect, Stanley Miller, with a flashlight.

And in January, two Inglewood police officers involved in the videotaped beating of black teenager Donovan Jackson won a $2.4-million jury award for wrongful termination.

BLOGS UP...this is the third report in the past week of cops using lethal force against unarmed, US youths. Staying out late does not justify murder by the State.
