Enter into evidence: surveillance footage from a nearby store. Shows the cop running up behind the kid, smashing him in the head with pistol in hand, and the pistol goes off as a result of attempting to pistol-whip the kid. Is this an IGOTD candidate? Corrupt cop? Police tramping on basic individual liberties? All of the above? Sometimes the cameras work for the little guys. :)”
