MOBILE, Ala. (AP) An attorney for the family of a student shot to death by a University of South Alabama police officer says a lawsuit in the case is moving from state court to federal court.
A grand jury found that Officer Trevis Austin was justified in shooting Gil Collar. Police said he was naked and banging on a window at a campus police station Oct. 6, 2012. Austin, who went outside to investigate the sound, said Collar was acting erratically and lunged toward him.
Al.com reports that Mobile County Circuit Judge Robert Smith granted a request by lawyers for Collar's parents to dismiss the suit in state court.
Lawyer Ben Locklar, who represents the family, said he plans to file a federal civil rights suit. Locklar said the shooting was not justified.

What a coward. If a police officer cant take down a naked college student without a gun then he should be working security at a mall.

Just another example of why all police officers should be equipped with some type of video recording device.

Kid was naked and obviously unarmed? No one needed to die that night.

Cops really are cowards and use unnecessary means of force all too often these days. Use you're got damn fists and or wand. Or even taser. No need to shoot the kid my god.

I find it funny how if this situation went something like this everyone here would be saying the shooting was justified:
"Naked man shot and killed by a homeowner. The homeowner said the man was naked and banging on a window, and when he went outside to investigate the sound, the naked man lunged at him"
"Naked man shot and killed by a homeowner. The homeowner said the man was naked and banging on a window, and when he went outside to investigate the sound, the naked man lunged at him"

What if the kid was bigger than him? The cop felt threatened and used force to protect himself. Obviously it sucks this kid died, but what would you do if someone suspicious lunged at you after banging on a door?

Death to all naked people.
