Police are under scrutiny after a toddler was accidentally shot by officers aiming at a robbery and carjacking suspect at a fast food drive-through in Jacksonville last Friday. Authorities say 2-year-old old Daniel Crichton was shot in the arm and upper torso after a suspected bank robber forced his way into the car in which the toddler was seated. The child remains in critical condition. “We had a very volatile situation,” Sheriff John Rutherford told the Florida Times Union. “I just don’t want to try to speculate on why they felt the need to shoot at the suspect while he was in the vehicle.” The child’s mother, Joann Cooper, was hit once in the foot. A 7-year-old girl also in the car was not injured. The suspect was killed but has not been identified. The gunman did not discharge his weapon. Five officers with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office fired a total of 42 rounds at the vehicle. Four of the officers involved were veterans, and one was a rookie still in field training, the Times Union reported. Thomas J. Aveni, executive director of The Police Policy Studies Council, told the newspaper that training for situations where gunfire may be necessary amid crowds is nearly impossible. He added that police departments are working toward better guidelines to give officers on when to fire at moving cars. “Officers tend to miss significant number of rounds when firing at human beings on foot,” Aveni said.
@Neoguest
i said listen carefully,right? you didnot do it
I had watch this video before. What do I have to listen carefully for.
42 rounds?
Fucking headline should have read: “5 policemen attempt to Murder 2 children, an innocent woman, and potential innocent bystanders to catch 1 bank robber”
@DurtyHarrys Spit out your point ass wipe, stop dancing around it.
Everyone of these cops that fired a shot. Needs to be shot 42 times in the chest, like they did to the kid!
Today Detroit cops shot a little seven year old girl in a home arrest attempt on some guy. Thank GOD no children of gay and lesbian parents were hurt!
To the police I’m sayin fuck you punk
Readin my rights and shit, it’s all junk
Pullin out a silly club, so you stand
With a fake assed badge and a gun in your hand
But take off the gun so you can see what’s up
And we’ll go at it punk, I’ma fuck you up
Without a gun and a badge, what do ya got?

By me, or another nigga.
Takin out a police like that would make my day!!!
R.I.P little girl. My condolences.
i tell you why. human life means nothing to authority now days in america.
Did the child survived? Hope he did.
All over Fiat money, produced by the private for profit Fed Reserve; out of air. More assholes that need to be in prison.
Dont blame those police for this shit
The cops need to be charge and senctence to prison a min. of 20 yrs.
@2pinkbukks fuck yea! That’s a miracle! if they had had a few moments to look at the situation, they probably would have shot or arrested the women so that she wouldn’t speak and the cops could continue there daily routine of harassing innocent people!
Just print some more money, it’s not worth killing for.
national kill a cop day. i vote yes.
OH NO! Not more desk duty!!!
Cops are so fucking stupid
“under investigation”..that’s cop speak for “we’re working on an alibi to save our pathetic asses”.
It took 42 rounds before one of those incompetent morons hit the guy? What the hell are those clowns doing with a gun in the first place?
Kinda makes ya wonder how the hell they kill anyone at all…makes ya feel real safe, don’t it?
@Argenteconomie Seriously! Too many fucking movies and games before work, they think they’re in the fucking movies!
Sooo..they should let him kidnap and kill her right? Blame the cops..don’t blame the armed robber????? You pussies who cry over police brutality are the first to whine when the police don;t respond fast enough to your problems. You probably couldn’t react to an emergency situtation to save your pathetic meager lives.
@megjur Shut the fuck up you god damned moron!!!!! They didn’t even stop to think what they could …………oh fuck it, I’m not going to sit here and argue with a retard on the fucking internet.
@megjur Shoulda known. I go to your channel and what do you have posted? A music video about war. You get off on shit like this??????
@soonerdave01
Never been there have you??? Then you wouldn’t understand…keep living in your conspiratorial world and let others risk their lives to protect you.
@megjur Hey junior, playing war-games on your X-Box does not make you an expert on anything. Stop playing law and order and go jerk off to one of your gun videos. Fucking punk.
@megjur The only experience you have with “shootouts” is playing paint ball and stupid combat video games. Loser
