A prosecutor in northern Michigan has cleared the police officer who shot and killed a Grayling man as police and Child Protective Services (CPS) employees attempted to seize his three-year-old. The attempted removal of the minor child came after a police officer who came to the scene on a call earlier that same day reported that he smelled marijuana and reported the incident to CPS authorities, who decided the child needed to be removed. The dead man, William Reddie, 32, becomes the 17th person killed in US domestic drug law enforcement operations so far this year.
Basically, someone called the cops because Reddie was having a loud argument over the phone, who questioned Reddie and then returned to kidnap his son despite a lack of evidence that the son was in any harm. Rather than working through the situation, they simply shot and killed the person that they provoked. And people still wonder why police are generally despised...
