On March 6th, 2011, Baton Rouge police officer Christopher Magee shot and killed Carlos Harris, 21,
quote:
Harris was at the bar with a friend, Ryan Dominique, the night he was shot.
quote:
police were called to the scene related to Domingue driving recklessly in the parking lot. As events unfolded and he was taken into custody, Magee either told or asked (accounts differ) Harris to move Dominique's car despite witnesses saying Harris told Magee he was drunk.
quote:
Harris was shot while moving the car after he smashed into various vehicles in the parking lot, including police cruisers. Magee said at the time he was worried for his safety, and those around him, so he opened fire. Harris was shot dead. Magee also suggested Harris had some sort of weapon.
quote:
"He told [Officer Magee] he was drunk...[But Magee] commanded him to move the car," witness Aisha Loliss told WBRZ News 2 after the shooting in 2011.
quote:
Council members were also told Magee was instructed by another officer not to shoot because there were too many people around the scene.
quote:
The car was traveling forward when Magee shot Harris from behind. One of the three shots Magee fired also hit a woman nearby in the wrist.
quote:
Magee's dash cam video starts recording a minute after the shooting occurred.
quote:
The district attorney's office cleared Magee of any wrongdoing and he remains on the force.

god damn
what would this guy have to do to get fired? rape the girl who's wrist he shot?

If she struggled she would probably be arrested for resisting arrest so I don't think rape would do it either.

The family also contests Dominique's car had a defect and difficult to drive
did they sue the auto company?
I fricking hate these wrongful death lawsuits.

And yet they settled for only 450k?

TBH, that's not really a large sum relative to the incident.

How this can happen...
When this is known...
Freaking unbelievable. What does it take to get fired as a policeman these days?

when the hell did this happen? i've never heard this story.

Stories like these make me wonder why anyone would work for the sheriff. As police you can basically kill, steal, frick shite up, etc. and at worst you're thrown back to desk duty.

Getting caught with a dead girl or a live boy.

Maybe but they COULD have received a lot more. The kid told the officer he was drunk but the officer instructed him to get behind the wheel and that ultimately caused his death, thats huge! Also, the fact that the dashcam didn't come on until after he was shot was huge. They could have easily received 7 figures.
