re: Grand Jury Doesn't Indict Cops who kill man with down syndrome

More about the altercation here. The cops were off duty and not in uniform. It's very possible the kid didn't even know who they were. And oh yeah, he idolized law enforcement.

“Ethan was developmentally disabled, not a criminal,” said Joseph Espo, a lawyer who spoke on behalf of Saylor’s parents, Patti and Ron Saylor. “He was entranced by police and police departments and liked communicating with them to the extent that, if there was ever a complaint, it was that he’d call so they could come to the house so he could talk to them.”

Saylor’s mother took cookies to the sheriff’s office at the end of last year to thank the deputies for all the unnecessary trips they made to the house, Espo said.
