Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsLousiana cops who shot 6-year-old are refusing to talk to investigators. Nice.
So it looks like Chris Few DIDN'T back up his car, had no weapon, and there is video footage.
Oh, and the cops who killed that baby boy are refusing to cooperate with state investigators.
Brutal-COP APOLOGISTS: Since the cops are refusing to cooperate, can we do what THEY did to someone who wouldn't cooperate? And that guy didn't kill anyone! But they killed his kid!
Explain to me, brutality apologists, why shouldn't we treat cops who don't cooperate the same way you justify their violent treatment of citizens who don't cooperate?
Oh, yeah, because we're not all murderous raging babykillers. We prefer to let the courts sort it out, unlike these four motherfuckers who killed a precious child over a goddamned warrant. No, they will have to live with what they did and I hope they all LOSE THEIR MINDS remembering how they murdered a child in cold blood. Remembering his little body riddled with bullets for nothing. That baby died for NOTHING but cop kicks.

At least one of the shooters was a Marksville police officer who was moonlighting for the city marshals office, an agency responsible for serving court papers . But according to Marksvilles mayor, John Lemoine, city marshal Floyd Voinche and his officers have recently begun overstepping their authority.
I dont know why he felt the need to start patrolling in city limits, Lemoine said Thursday of Voinche. It makes no sense to me.
The Guardian could not reach Voinche for comment before press time.
Edmonson, the state police head, said his investigators started gathering evidence the night of the shooting, attempting to reconstruct what happened without the cooperation of the officers involved.
Fucking cowards KNOW they did wrong, KNOW they killed an innocent baby just for kicks. They won't even cooperate with their own state police department, that's what rogue sons of bitches these guys are. ALL GOOD COPS should soundly denounce these murderous, roid-raging asshats.
Edit to add. Floyd Voinche SR's # is 318-253-6188
I think this chief of the Baby Killers needs to cough up some answers as to why he is serving warrants like he's in a goddamned Mad Max movie. Piece of SCUM that is too much of a coward to face the music for MURDER himself, but he'll have his marshals terrorizing the town over NOTHING.

(18,186 posts)The kids blatantly killed by cops or gangs--it's all the same madness that turns grown people into violent thugs.
Our children deserve better than this shit.
I am livid. That baby looks so much like one of my cousins when he was that age; can't get his little face out of my mind.
WHY?

(18,186 posts)overstepped their authority to deal out some personal vendettas against people they didn't like.
Maybe Few fled because he knew that one of the marshalls was gunning for him. I think they may have planned to kill him or maim him, and he knew that and was trying to get his kid away from them.
The marshalls proved beyond a shadow of a doubt why the man ran for his and his child's life.
That's my theory. Goddamned lowlife trash thugs and Baby killers, the lot of them.
Well, met deadlines for other work so I am hitting the hay now. I don't get to DU much, but had to come be around like-minded people when I heard about this killing of an innocent child, and the one in Chicago by gangs.
RIP little guys. You deserved a lot better, but our leaders and our communities SUCK and have all failed to keep you both safe from losing your precious sweet lives.

They don't have to follow the same laws as you and me, because they are SPESHULL.
I can tell you that if that happened around here, the community would string those motherfuckers up by their balls and they would never see a trial. I wish all communities had decent cops and people who hold them accountable.
This is a small town area just like Marksville, but the cops don't act arrogant; they are just like everyone else. It makes me sick when adults in a community terrorize the citizens and murder their babies at will. Something is very wrong in that town.
Now I really do have to get some sleep. Night, LN

(9,214 posts)They have also been fired for not filing an incident report, aren't they?
Calista241
(5,586 posts)It may be bullshit, but cops serving a warrant isn't all that unusual an activity.
In addition, saying he shot at the cops or rammed their car is certainly a plausible story.
If you or I walked up to some dude and blew him away, and we didn't have an excuse or reason to do it, we'd be in jail.
If they planned this out in advance because of some personal vendetta, why didn't they actually kill the guy, or have a gun or something to plant on him so that they could get away with the crime? Maybe sprinkle some crack on him for good measure.
There are unanswered questions, but given the publicity and the kids death, I have no doubt they'll be held accountable like the jackass in South Carolina that shot the guy in the back.

(18,186 posts)That cop was cleared of wrongdoing Thursday.
Nice try. GRAPHIC VIDEO HERE:

And this one, too, who beat up an old man who'd only just arrived in the US (Welcome to our Police State, Dude! We gonna paralyze you now!) can't seem to be charged either.

Don't blow smoke up my ass when you don't know the facts. Cop apologists always do that.
Calista241
(5,586 posts)All I said was their story in the aftermath of the shooting was plausible. I didn't say they should get off scot free with a commendation.
Only investigation would prove that not to be the case. And those investigations don't fucking happen in the first 10 minutes.
If you want to round everyone up and starts shooting people, be my guest and make that case.
Tsiyu
(18,186 posts)but blow more smoke up my ass. It is some people's hobby.
You are so invested in knowing what bad cops do, you can't even present facts and instead claim here --or lie here--don't know you or your agenda and I've been here 10+years -- that a cop faced punishment when that cop was cleared.
Tell the truth.
And stop arguing with straw men. That's a game for mediocre minds.

(8,694 posts)There never was, and there is not a warrant. They were not serving a warrant. If you are following this story numerous updates from Louisiana State police state: no warrant. The 4 marshalls told the coroner that story when he arrived on scene so it was picked and repeated. They lied

(18,186 posts)These goddamned fuckers just went after the dude like the gangbanging motherfucking PIGS they are.
I hope that community can stand up to their murdering ways. But if they terrorize their town this blatantly, not much chance people will stand up.
It amazes me that human beings can do this sort of shit and some among us say, "Oh, as long as they're cops it's all justified."
If you or I so much as hold our mouths wrong, they think cops should be able to KILL US! What the fuck happens to their minds? Why do they believe cops are like gods or something?
Do cop apologists have some fetish about cops, like they get orgasmic about them or something? And our criticism of cops ruins their little horny cop fantasies? I just don't get it.

(29,503 posts)the very thought of stuff like this ... I can't. I have to block it out on some level, or I'd seriously lose my mind.
Tsiyu
(18,186 posts)But this case was so egregious and this baby's death so unnecessary. Just like the little boy in Chicago gunned down by gangs. FUCK a bunch of bloodthirsty grownups who get their jollies ending the lives of mere babies!
You expect this senseless violence from gangs, though. I never thought I'd live to see the day that some of my fellow Americans would try to justify to me why a law enforcement officer would kill a child --or anyone--in cold blood.
I know cops have it tough with all of the guns out there. I wouldn't want to be a cop. Ever. And I also know that the majority of cops are just doing their jobs and not out to hurt anyone.
But this blatant shooting of unarmed people in the back, shooting rapidly and blindly into vehicles like the fucking Mafia, boiling inmates to death, all of this shit is telling me the U.S INJUSTICE department has completely and totally failed this nation and its children.
It sickens, enrages and saddens me beyond belief for what our children are witnessing. Do cops think there's even one six-year-old in Marksville who isn't terrified of cops now? Is this the way cops want children to feel? Like law enforcement will just fill your tiny body full of bullets whenever they feel like it?
What message are rogue cops sending to our nation's children about violence and solving problems and conflicts?
Arghhh...back to work.
hang in there closeupready
