Officer-Involved Shootings
Articles related to those who lost their loved one(s) to Police Shootings
Of Special Interest
September 09 If you read the articles, I mean really notice patterns in law behavior It seems that if an officer makes certain statements at the time of a fatal shooting, then they are as guilt-free in the eyes of the law as they were before the death, from that point on. Can anyone name an officer that's been convicted of an officer-involved shooting in Riverside County, Ca., ever? Seriously, I want to know. August 20 Talking about An Invitation to Join This Group and Network W/ Other Parents Who Have Been Through The Same Thing
Quote An Invitation to Join This Group and Network W/ Other Parents Who Have Been Through The Same Thing July 27 Police shoot to prevent eminent danger not to injure After reading hundreds (literally) of articles on officer-involved
shootings, I noticed a number of things. The one thing that stands out
the most to me, is the fact that police are trained to shoot the
largest mass of the body and prevent eminent danger to the officer. In
other words, they are trained to kill, not to injure. THIS is what needs to change. They see suspects, or threats as targets instead of people. This may be why there are so many fatal officer involved shooting civilian victims. This may be why they run from the police, afraid for their own very lives, only to be shot in the back as they run. Or, why the police shoot someone with what the officer perceives is a weapon, when it might only be a hair brush, or a glasses case. In both of the situations, the civilian was shot, unarmed and killed. It has to stop. Please pass this website to all of your friends for awareness, not a chain mail sort of thing. This is a life or death problem that needs to be addressed. I am looking for those interested in joining me in doing just that. Thanks for reading. Email Eric's Mom at InMemoryofEric@msn.com.

April 22 Message to all who join - My Story On February 28th, 2006 my son was barely 18, in high school, and going through a break-up with his girlfriend of over 3 years. In a nutshell of an explanation, I called 911 to ask that they please hurry to go over to where he was to help him. He was hurting himself. Thirteen minutes after the beginning of my 911 call, my son was shot twice in the torso and died two hours later at the hospital. I asked for help, and they killed my boy. I may never know why they shot him when I asked them to help him.
