“We don’t have time for this”: Cop allegedly kills North Carolina teen who was already tased and restrained « Hot Air

“We don’t have time for this”: Cop allegedly kills North Carolina teen who was already tased and restrained « Hot Air: "A detective’s been placed on paid leave while the investigation plays out. Obvious question: Even if the cop was such a monster that he’d murder a mentally ill kid simply because he was a drag on his day, how did he think he’d get away with it with both parents right there watching? Is a suspension and murder investigation less of an inconvenience than wrestling a small teenaged boy into a squad car? If he was counting on a mom and dad to be intimidated into silence over the cold-blooded murder of their son, he was counting on an awful lot. I notice too that the dad doesn’t explicitly say it was the cop who fired the gun who said “we don’t have time for this.” One of the officers there said it. Was killing Vidal what he had in mind or were the comment and shooting unconnected?

The official story, I assume, will be that Vidal was going for a gun in the holster of one of the cops who was restraining him."
