This is the type of criminal the trump pardoned, absolutely disgusting.

On August 24, 2009, Huttle's three-year-old son, C.H., had a bathroom accident, and Huttle beat the child, leaving bruises on his neck and severe bruises on his back and buttocks.

Wow, cops actually shot someone deserving of it. What's the score looking like now?

Somewhere in the negative multi-millions, if history serves. Still.

It's only been a week. But sadly, at this rate, it'll take 30 years to clean up the rest.

I read "Indian man" at first and thought there's no way that Trump would pardon

If the cop loses their job over this, it's like two birds with one bullet.

Sometimes things work themselves out naturally.

This. Waiting to see what happened. There are no good guys in the story but I would bet it is more complex and fucked up than we're guessing.
