MARKSVILLE, La. -- The public is getting its first look at a police body camera video that shows two deputy city marshals opening fire on a car, killing a 6-year-old boy and critically wounding his father in Louisiana.

Prosecutors showed the tape in court Wednesday to support their claim that one of the deputies, Derrick Stafford, had a pattern of using excessive force -- including last November’s fatal shooting of 6-year-old Jeremy Mardis in Marksville.

Sickening, why do your job when you have guns at your hips?

Terrible.

terribly sad.

disgustingly disturbing...

Someone needs to retrain these cops. Clearly there is something wrong with the way they determine threatening situations.

You couldn't pay me enough to be a police officer these days.

I hate to see this kind of thing, like most people, but the fact is that police have to worry about going home every night and one mistake they have to live with it the rest of their life or worse, be hung out to dry.
