Yes, the driver messed up, yes, the boy messed up.,.,
BUT
PROFESSIONAL Peace officers HAVE to know you Do Not shoot into a vehicle carrying children, EVER,,

Maybe these idiots have been going to Deming for their training?

These guys are pretty heavy handed.
There have been several routine traffic stops where they bring in the drug sniffing dog who takes a wiff of the seat and falls in love with the driver.
They take the driver for full body cavity search at the hospital, anal probe, xray, the whole 9 yards and find nothing.  Then they have gall to send them the bill.
That gal had what... 6 kids... can you imagine the bill?  no wonder she ran.

That's one of the reasons my wife retired from Law Enforcement. She got tired of going to control and crowd control classes. They give her her gun and badge and told her she could be called back into active duty anytime. It was in her contract when they hired her. Wake Forest University has its own private police force and she's working part time for them now babysitting the rich kids.

If I was still doing drugs I would have it made. She takes drugs and alchohol away from the kids and she cant turn them in because Mommy and Daddy are rich. Overall Wake is still a very good school, but you know college kids, they're prone to cut up every now and then.

Midnight -
I'm only going one place in this reply, and that's the robbery issue.  Robbery is defined, loosely because I don't practice criminal law, as theft while the victim is present and in danger.  Armed robbery is one step closer to the ultimate danger to the victim - a robbery committed while the robber is armed with some form of a lethal instrument, usually a knife or a gun.
Robbery has always been considered more serious than is simple theft.  If you steal a can of beans off of the grocery shelf and put no person in physical danger in the process, it's a whole lot less serious that if you accost a shopper and take that same can of beans out of his grocery sack as he walks to his car, and it's even more serious if you wave a knife or gun in the shopper's face as you steal the can of beans from his sack.
So, for the guy in jail for this robbery you mentioned - was it an armed robbery?  If so, let him rot for the full 10 years.
Two years ago this coming Valentine's Day, Feb. 14th, a gas station down the street from my office was robbed by two thugs with guns, about 6 AM in the morning as the clerk was opening for the day.  After they took his money, they put 4 slugs in him.  That is why armed robbery is dealt with very seriously.

You have to break a law, and they are not written to punish the powerful - although The Insider Trading conviction against Martha Stuart was something of a shocker;i'm not thinking it was because she's a woman.

Is she in jail?
