At around 7:30 PM, young Christopher took out his Nintendo Wii controller to put on a movie. As he was sitting down, he suddenly heard knocking on the front door.
He asked, “Who is it?” but received no response. At that point he got up from his chair and opened the door.
To his shock, the female cop already had her gun drawn and pointed at him, according to reports. She immediately fired a bullet into the boy’s chest and killed him, according to Renee Vance, the boy’s aunt.
The police claim that “he had a handgun.”
It was actually the boy’s small Nintendo Wii controller, says the aunt.
The officer gave him “no warning” to drop the controller before taking his life, the aunt added.
The police claimed to be at his house regarding a “probation” matter. It turns out that it had nothing to do with Christopher. His 13-yr-old little sister heard the gun shot and ran over to the door to find her brother bleeding and crying.
The little sister held her brother and tried to comfort him as he cried in pain, according to reports. That’s when the female cop pointed her gun at the child and said “Shut up!” according to reports, forcing the girl away.
Moments later Christopher bled to death. Both the female officer and the officer who was with her have received “paid administrative leave” as the investigation proceeds.
This is sickening. What exactly was this officer "protecting" or "serving" when she felt the need to gun down a teenager for answering the door while holding a wii controller. This is just another textbook example of police abusing their authority, and it raises some serious questions about police in america.
Have we gotten so afraid of guns at this point that we will gun down anyone who hold something even remotely familiar looking? How the hell do you even mistake a Wii-Mote for a firearm anyway! It's a white stick!
I hate to be one of those "social-justice bloggers", but I urge everyone to share this information. You can find the family's facebook page about the event here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/RIP-Bubb ... 8928042441 .
Your thoughts on this tragedy and what can be done to fix it, NSG?
