Kid killed by pig while restrained

Just as disgusting as this unprovoked killing is the fact the parents could have easily restrained the kid themselves without getting the pigs involved.

Cop On Paid Administrative Leave After Allegedly Executing Restrained, 90-pound, 5’3” Schizophrenic Teen

From the Bearing Arms blog: “Southport, NC cop shoots tased and restrained 90-pound HS student after allegedly stating, ‘we don’t have time for this.’”

This is how the Star News describes the situation.

He said lawmen initially responded to the home after Vidal, who celebrated his birthday last month, picked up a screwdriver and refused to put it down.

Two responding officers were able to calm Vidal before another officer walked into the family’s home, Wilsey said.

It was when the third officer walked in that the 90-pound teen was stunned with a Tazer and fell to the floor. Vidal was then shot in the chest, Wilsey told reporters.

WECT is more specific:

Wilsey said his family called the police to help with his schizophrenic son Keith Vidal who had a small screwdriver in his hand. Officers used at Taser on Vidal and then shot him, according to Wilsey.

Wilsey said officers came into their home after they called for backup help when Vidal was having a schizophrenic incident.

Wilsey said officers had his son down on the ground after the teen was tased a few times and an officer said, “we don’t have time for this.” That’s when Wilsey says the officer shot in between the officers holding the teen down, killing his son.

Then there was this story submitted by a family friend on CNN’s iReport:

Vidal’s Father contacted the Boiling Springs Lakes Police Department around 1 pm Sunday to try to get help putting Vidal in the car, so he could be taken to a mental evaluation. Vidal was abrasive and did not want to go. and picked up a small electronics screwdriver.Two Officers responded to the scene and started negotiating with Vidal. After about 10 mins the situation started defusing itself with Vidal becoming more rational. At that very moment an Officer From another Town Entered the residence and instructed the officers to stop talking and tase Vidal. As Vidal tried to flee into the bathroom adjacent to where he was standing the two officers simultaneously shot him with their tasers. As Vidal Collapsed backwards on to the floor the two officers jumped on top of the 5ft 3 100 lb Vidal to restrain him.. As Vidal’s Father tried to step in and grab the screw driver The Southport Police Officer that had instructed the other officers to use their tasers, moved between the father and the pile of people on the floor and said “We don’t have time for this” And shot Vidal Once in the chest as the other two Officers held him on the floor. Vidal’s father then grabbed the officer as he was lining himself up for another shot.

Trial should be held next week (heck, you’ve got two police witnesses and family), sentencing in late January, execution before spring.

No need to drag things out in such a clear-cut case–after all, “we don’t have time for this.” I’m almost ornery enough to say ‘taze’ him first, to do the same as he did to the young man.

Beasts with badges… put ‘em down.

Seriously, my main frustration in cases like this is that while it doesn’t need to take more than two weeks, it will take ten years. You’ve got credible witnesses—many of them—and it should be over and done with before Winter ends.
