6-year old Autistic Kid Shot & Killed

Do you all think police training needs to be updated?? Especially with all the killings of unarmed people has became so big recently. Maybe it needs to be a change in the police academy.

Recently in The Washington Post

As of Thursday morning, at least 834 people had been shot and killed by American police officers so far this year.

Six-year-old Jeremy David Mardis is the youngest among them.

The autistic first-grader was sitting in the front passenger seat of a car being driven by his father, Chris Few, in Marksville, La., when city marshals attempted to serve the man a warrant about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday night. Few fled, eventually turning down a dead-end street.

Police say Few then attempted to back his vehicle out, striking officers’ cruisers, prompting a hail of gunfire that left him hospitalized.

An official briefed on the shooting said that Few was unarmed when two officers opened fire, shooting between 13 and 18 bullets combined. That official said it is unclear if the shooting was captured on camera.

5 of those bullets struck young Jeremy killing him instantly, including 2 in his head and chest.

Says the boy’s sickened grandmother:

“Jeremy was a special gift from God. He was always smiling, always happy,” the slain child’s grandmother, Samantha Few, told a local television station. “He was diagnosed with autism when he was 2. He loved everyone he met and they loved him. … He didn’t deserve what happened.”
