'Why did he shoot me?'

An 11-year-old boy shot by Mississippi police after he dialed 911 for help is recovering following his release from the hospital, his attorney said Thursday.

Aderrien Murry was shot in the chest early Saturday while an Indianola police officer was responding to a domestic disturbance call at the boy's home, about 100 miles northwest of Jackson, according to the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI).


The boy's mother, Nakala Murry, told CNN she asked the boy to call the police about 4 a.m. after the father of another one of her children arrived at the home "irate."

Murry, who told the outlet she was concerned for her safety, said an officer who arrived “had his gun drawn at the front door and asked those inside the home to come outside.”


Aderrien's mom said he was shot "coming around the corner of a hallway, into the living room."

“I cannot grasp why," she told the outlet. "The same cop that told him to come out of the house. (Aderrien) did, and he got shot. He kept asking, ‘Why did he shoot me? What did I do wrong?’”

Well he looks extremely threatening-- I can see why the cop, who'd ordered everyone out of the house, for some reason, would immediately shoot at center mass, of this perceived danger.

The boy was very lucky, to survive with only a collapsed lung, lacerated liver, and broken ribs. Serves him right, for listening to the cop's order.

I can't tell you about the body cam video, because it has not yet been released-- don't ask me why. What shows that this is a problem of police culture, is that the officer, in this case, is also black.

So either this is happening, also, to 11 year old white boys, and the press is hiding it from us, or there is clearly a systemic over aggressiveness, in policing the black community.

As an aside, this is one reason that it is intentional ignorance, of anyone pretending that there is still not a racial animus directed against blacks. And this suggests why the California Commission on Reparations, had recommended that any black person living in California, deserved a monetary settlement, for every year they'd lived in CA, under this system of "over- policing."

 

Interested in seeing the police's body cam footage.

 

Sadly, police have adopted the swat mentality and usually make many situations worse when they intervene.
Blacks, street people and the poor get the brunt of it.

 

And what do you anticipate as the chances, that it would possibly justify the officer's actions?

 

I want to see if it matches with the story the mom is telling.

 

This is what I predicted years ago when the Leftists started going after cops: the quality of the average police officer was going to degrade and it appears it has.

I guess we'll find out what really happened soon enough, but if this deputy fired the round that hit this kid, I can't think of a good reason for it to happen. Accidental discharge? No excuse. A ricochet? That's plausible and mostly excusable. Maybe the baby daddy used the kid as a human shield.

Thanks to the anti-cop agenda, you'll see more stupid **** from cops.

 

And no doubt this will be used by the irrational to spread hate against the entire demographic of police, with fake claims of racism.

So predictable.

Will be interrelated in seeing more evidence.

 

Funny we haven't seen any bodycam video or identification of the police officer who shot the kid. Could they be stalling for time to get their stories straight?

 

Because even American police are not capable of owning a gun.

 

OK. I mean, it's never a bad thing, to wait for the corroborating evidence. On the other hand, common sense dictates that if body cam footage showed the cop acting reasonably, there would be absolutely no reason that the police would not immediately release it. I see no cause to think that the mother's accounting, is not accurate. Why is the cop even ordering everyone out of the house, for a 4 A.M. domestic disturbance? This was between the home owner (the mom) and one of her kids' fathers, who did not live at the residence. It would seem to me, then, that the officer should have focused on this unwanted, disruptive visitor.

If, for any reason, the officer felt this situation warranted a clearing of all people from the premises, common sense would probably, again, recommend that he first ask the home owner, who else was inside, so he knew what to expect. From the sound of it, instead of treating this like a typical domestic disturbance, and talking to the couple who were involved, he approached with his gun drawn, spoke to no one to really assess the situation, and just immediately ordered everyone out. That is just paranoia, on the cop's part. I cannot believe this is proper police protocol. And it led to the serious injury, of an 11 year old boy.

In this instance, I can't imagine what "extenuating circumstances" would validate the law enforcement officer's actions.

 

So you are connecting a single incident in Mississippi involving a black cop shooting a black kid to proposed reparations in California? Pretty [F word] weak IMHO, i.e., a hasty generalization, sampling bias, and appeal to emotion fallacy.

So remember the black cop in MN named Mohamed Noor who shot the 40 year old white woman who called 911 to report a rape. So comparing this incident to the George Floyd incident, what sweeping generalizations should you make? And of course the propoer answer is none.

 

I also have a hard time believing this cop would just randomly decide to shoot an 8 year old boy and ruin his life along with everyone involved....hence why the body cam would be nice to see. Hard to think of how this could happen, but it was 4am and a chaotic scene im guessing from the description.

 

To bad the left turned down Tim Scott's much needed police reform bill that had millions in training for overworked cops due to the defund the police effort.

 

Theee is no racial animus pointed towards blacks. Nor is this incident indicative of that lol. There is genuinely more racism pointed at white people than any other demographic in 2023. It’s just socially acceptable to do.

It’s intentional ignorance to pretend otherwise.

Nor is there an issue with police culture on a systemic level. Anecdotes are never evidence of such claims, nor does the data support it. This is just another example OP of those whom are being emotional rather than logical. We should never think with our hearts, only our minds.

 

Millions of instances without incident prove everything you said wrong.

Actual facts beat your talking points every time.

 

There is undoubtedly more to this. Police, despite popular liberal belief, don’t run away with hate towards blacks just itching to shoot a small black child.

 

Exactly lol. Millions of use of force incidents go unreported. Because the officers did exactly what they were supposed to.

Then the one time they don’t it’s in the news for months creating the impression to the overly emotional that police make things worse rather than better.

astounding.

This is exactly the formula to create terrorist groups like blm. And the formula to get society to support them despite their violence and fascism.

 

Normally when there is tape that exonerates the cops it comes out almost immediately.

The longer it takes them, the worse its going to ultimately be.

 

That’s not true at all. Each dept operates differently and releases tapes at thier own pace. Some immediately, some after an investigation. Some won’t if children are shown, others will.

 

Still in the editing stage

 

When you shoot an 11 yr old, and they won't release the tape, its because it shows you're guilty. 9/10 times.

Bet you 1000 quatloos

 

In Mississippi, any officer involved shooting is investigated by the MBI. Any video that might exist is withheld until the investigation is complete. There's always a clamor to release the video early but it just doesn't happen.

 

especially if people are defending the bad acts of the cop(s), otherwise we all agree, justice is done and it's over, if that was the way it always worked, that would be great - too often nothing happens unless the public speaks out

heck when the white exterminator was gunned down, he still got off, they even rehired him just so he could get disability pay for the "PTSD" killing the man caused him

 

Are basing that on any statistical disadvantages that white people have been known to experience systemically, or just a personal feeling of being a victim?

 

Oh, yeah-- great point, because this is the only black kid that this has ever happened to.
Right?

"Weak," doesn't do justice, to how pathetic is your own argument, here. The rest of your post, picking out one white woman, who was shot by one black cop, and trying to equate that with the litany of times that unarmed black men (usually) have been either shot, or killed by use of excessive force (in
your example of George Floyd), by police, is really such a patently false analogy, you really should be embarrassed about having put it forward.
