Another shooting in Marksville this morning. It's in the same area as last night's incident....like two streets over.

The fact that people actually use this justification is part of the problem. They opened fire on a car without determining who was in it. There is no excuse.
I didn't say there was an excuse for it. If what appears happened were the only facts, I'd say they all should be charged with murder because they all played a part in it. The reality is there is probably more to the story than this short article provides, so I will be interested to see more details.

Usually when there is a shortage of initial details the truth is bad for the police

We have a judicial process to play out here. The officers will be put on trial that will be decided by a jury. During that trial, their entire life will be dragged out into public and a reasonable understanding of the situation will emerge. And if they are found guilty, they'll go to jail for a long time with people who they put in prison.Thats all that really needs to be said about this.

BBC?

I'm sure he was buying weed, which is obviously grounds to chase him down and unload into his car.

The first response not based on emotion - no one even has the facts (though I think your assumption that there will be a trial is premature).
Were they shooting from behind the car or from a position where they were shooting towards the side of the driver?
These issues are very complex. City marshals are supposed to be process servers, and I'm troubled by their expansion into other law enforcement duties.
The decision to pursue is tough - since pursuits endanger the participants and the public. Do you pursue for a minor violation? The "yes" contingent would say that the fact that someone runs may be an indicator that there are more issues than just a traffic ticket.
Do the police pull out their weapons too often? In the 60's, the police would rarely unholster their weapons (and there were more police officers shot in the 60's with a small population). It is easier to make a bad shooting decision when your gun is out - less time to think it through.

You'd rather give a criminal the benefit of the doubt to try to make this story about cops killing a kid instead of the POS running from the cops putting his own child's life in danger.
We should expect more of cops than we do of criminals.

Yep, because they'll be paying the lawsuit costs.

Was the 6 year-old in a child safety seat? If not, I think it gives you some idea of the father's concern for the child's welfare, and the officers' ability to reasonably discern that there was a child in the vehicle. But why bother waiting for more facts to be disclosed before reaching judgment? We may as well arrest the officers for premeditated murder since you have already determined they just willfully shot at and killed someone for a minor traffic accident.

I wonder why they haven't said why they initiated pursuit?
Posted on 11/4/15 at 1:23 pm to Strannix
I mean personally I feel like anybody who accidentally kills a child will live with that on their mind forever. What a tragedy.

You really should change your thread. The boy's father put his life in danger when he ran on a warrant. The marshals did not know the boy was in the vehicle, and when the driver attempted to run them over, they acted accordingly.
Your title makes it sound like they knowingly killed the young boy, which is inaccurate.

A six year old of a certain size can wear a seatbelt and at the most would only need a booster seat. Really has nothing to do with these Marshals blowing away a child

Their lack of knowledge of the child's presence in the vehicle is irrelevant.

There is nothing inaccurate is misleading about it, the cops played Rambo and killed a baby, they got out of their car and started dumping rounds into the vehicle. That's cut and dry.

That appears unrelated TBH.
