Obviously the mother and the 14 year old son were in the wrong. Mom, from the instant she decided to flee the scene the first time. The son from the time he chose to get out of the van and enter into a physical confrontation with the LEO.
Those facts can't be disputed, however I would be interested to hear what some of you guys think about the actions the three officers took... was the use of the baton to bash out the van window with 5 kids inside "over the top" or was it justified because the 14 y/o who had started the physical altercation with with the officer was now locked himself inside the van? Also, was the choice to fire on a van that had five children inside the correct or incorrect response?
Just curious what others think.
