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.

My thoughts as well. He had all rights to defend himself but shooting him is bullshite.

Yeah. I really don't have an opinion on it, though. Alabama can be fairly different when it comes to tort law. I mean, they just got rid of pure contributory negligence not too long ago (or they may still have it). And I've heard conflicting stories about what happened.

Eh, not worth getting into it. You know how these things are. The truth can butchered so quickly. I'm not adding to that. I wasn't there, and I don't know any interested parties.

Seems a taser would have been the more appropriate defense measure.
And would have provided some good entertainment if aimed correctly at a naked tweaker.

Don't you get it man. Most cops join the force for the sole purpose of being able to draw their weapon one day.

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.

Some cops are not physically imposing and some college students are.

Lol you have no idea what cocaine makes someone other than yourself (which is doubtful also) do.

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.
