cop shoots 'em down, kills 'em, and then sues their family... 4/6/2016 0 Comments   by E.L. Christianson Jr. Here is a 'good one'.   A police officer is called because a young man got into an argument with his father. The father called police and then asked a neighbor to let officers into the building when they arrived.  The police officer shot the young man 6 times, killing him and shot the neighbor 1 time, killing her also.  It happens all too frequently.  The cops come for a minor disturbance and over-react, killing people both intentionally and unintentionally.  Now comes the 'good part'... almost like the punch line of a joke... the police officer feels traumatized because of the killings and wants to sue someone for causing this trauma to his sensitive emotional system.  So, he sues the family of the young man that he killed... "because wantonly killing that young man was so upsetting to me, I need to be compensated..." Apparently, there are no questions about the emotional distress caused to the families of the victims.  Perhaps they should feel fortunate to still be alive.
