Just pathetic.
We cannot continue to put severely under-trained individuals on the streets to protect and serve in situations where tensions can get out of hand and adrenaline can get the best of someone.
It certainly isn't much of a logical jump to assume these officers/marshals were amped up about what may have been their first chase, and the second they cornered the suspect on the dead-end street, they were ready for the gunfight that they've seen many times in the movies. It seems all it took for them to begin firing into the vehicle was the slightest hint of danger or an unrelated sound of some sort. Now a 6 year old is dead and his father is in critical-condition.
I'm usually a pretty ardent supporter of police, and I believe most are good people, but that doesn't change the fact that many are still woefully inept at dealing with these types of situations. Things have to change.

If this is the case, we could have a murderer hiding behind his badge.

Moments later, she said, as the cars pulled away from the light, she saw two marshals’ cars—marked in black and white—approaching from behind with their lights flashing. She looked into Few’s car as he pulled away, and he was pointing at his son’s head, indicating that he was in the car and he wasn’t sure what to do.
The reason for Few’s uncertainty? He was reportedly afraid of the marshals “because he and one of the marshals on the scene had a prior personal conflict.”
WTF man, this shite is terrible. Picture of the kid a few posts back really almost brings me to tears.

Seems like that would be a violation of police procedure and should merit some discipline, no? Isn't it their job to assist in investigations? I would expect an immediate suspension or termination for refusing to perform duties.

One thing to note, perhaps a silver lining of sorts, is that the state police investigation seems to be moving along swiftly and facts are coming to light very quickly. Granted, they haven't reviewed the video nor have they spoke to the officers involved, but I'm sure the former is going to happen soon and the latter is out of their hands if those people are refusing to cooperate.
Things must be really terrible for the marshals if this much negative information has already been released by the state's investigation.

When you play by a different set of rules than everyone else, reality starts getting slippery. For Lemoine to say it makes no sense is just him refusing to take responsibility for his own failures.

Edmonson also said video footage of the incident does exist, but that investigators have not reviewed it.
This is bullshite. This happened Tuesday, they should have reviewed the video already. Putting it off makes the whole bunch look like idiots.

So for the last three days they have looked at the car, and the scene. Nothing else. I guess the mayor made a statement, that must count for something.

Not wanting to string them up without facts is saying they can do no wrong? I don't get how yall come to these conclusions. My position is always lets wait and see what the facts are...if the cops did wrong I want the maximum penalty they can get.

Not against themselves. The are still citizens with 5th amendment rights.

City Marshals in the state of Louisiana are absolutely the worst sham and shake-down group in 2015.
Hopefully this story sheds more light on how corrupt and completely unnecessary these departments are, and perhaps we can get a positive change out of this tragedy.

So cops can potentially plead the 5th in any case they are involved in because it might incriminate them of some wrongdoing? Not being argumentative I just don't know how this works.

I'm just giving them a little kudos that they've released some damning evidence against their "brethren" in a timely manner. Usually these investigations take forever.
I'm not saying it has been perfect, and I've got no good reason for them failing to review the video.
As for the officers involved, I don't really know what the state is supposed to do when the officers won't cooperate. I'm not being an arse, I genuinely don't know what their options are at this point.

Well, if you are waiting for the "facts" to come out how have you reached that conclusion?
I must admit I assumed the father was a piece of shite wanted for something serious when all this went down. Now, it sure looks like a different story.

As many times as they read suspects their Miranda rights, I would bet they know when they should remain silent and lawyer up.
Reminds me of the Chappelle skit on taking the Fif

I want to know what the beef with the Marshal was for the guy to be scared of him.
