The gravity of any offence is compounded when the perpetrator is in a position of public service and authority.

Rogue cops are paid out of public taxes. They are trained and taught markmanship and how to handle weapons out of public taxes, and when they take an oath to 'Protect and Serve' it is that very same tax-paying public who they are vowing to protect and serve.

I do not know the exact circumstances of this incident, but if it transpires that the cops ae culpable, then they SHOULD get the death sentence - in my opinion - because not only wilfully took an INNOCENT child's life, but they did so as armed, serving policemen.

Nor should it matter whether the child was white or black - this is not about race, but about arrogant killers in uniform who think that because they are supposed to serve the law, they are above it.

A message needs to be firmly sent to other rogue cops, that they think wrongly.
