Unreal.

Quote:Five year old Austin Haley was out fishing with his grandfather when police officer Paul Bradley Rogers shot his firearm in a failed attempt to kill a snake hiding in someone's birdhouse. The bullet passed through the birdhouse onto the Haley's property, with the first bullet the officer fired passing right between Austin's grandfather's legs and into their lake. Austin's grandfather then screamed out,"Stop, don't shoot! There’s someone down here!"

Six seconds later, officer Paul Bradley Rogers fired another shot, he again missed the snake, but the bullet struck five year old Austin in the back of the head, killing him.

The officer was found guilty of second-degree manslaughter, which is a violent felony, but he was given no jail time and instead was sentenced to perform some "community service with animals."

Now, thanks to what's being described as a "loophole," the officer just had his record expunged, which means he is now free again to become a police officer.

I wonder if would have gotten off so easy if it was me.....and I had accidentally killed a young black kid.

These days it doesn't seem to matter what the crime is, justice is determined by who the victim was.
