A 14-year-old boy got into a fight at a school bus stop and the school district's police officer responded by shooting him to death

SAN ANTONIO (CN) - A 14-year-old boy got into a fight at a school bus stop and the school district's police officer responded by shooting him to death, the boy's mother says in Federal Court. She says the cop had been reprimanded 16 times in the previous 4 years, suspended without pay 5 times, and "recommended for termination for insubordination," but the school kept him on the force "without remedial training."
     Denys Lopez Moreno sued the Northside Independent School District, of San Antonio, the district's Chief of Police John Page and the alleged shooter, Daniel Alvarado.
     Lopez says her son, Derek, got into a fight with another boy at a school bus stop and punched the other boy once, in November 2010.
     "Defendant, Alvarado, having responded to a call regarding a bus with a flat tire, witnessed Derek strike the other boy. He ordered Derek to 'freeze.' Derek hesitated and then ran from defendant Alvarado," according to the complaint.
     "In his patrol car, Alvarado began chasing Derek in the neighborhood across the street from the high school. Alvarado lost sight of the boy in the neighborhood and returned to the location of the school boy fight. At that time, he called dispatch. Dispatch recordings reflect that his supervisor directed Alvarado to stay with the other boy and to 'not do any big search over there.'
     "Ignoring his supervisor's orders to 'stay with the victim and get the information from him,' Alvarado placed the second boy into the patrol car and sped into the neighborhood to search for Derek."
     Lopez says her son jumped over a fence and hid in a shed in the back yard of a house. The homeowner saw him, called 911, and alerted a neighbor, who pointed Alvarado in Derek's direction. Lopez says her son never left the shed, never approached the house or threatened the homeowner or her daughters, and posed no threat to anyone.
     Nonetheless, she says: "In violation of NISD police department procedures, Alvarado drew his weapon immediately after exiting the patrol car. With his gun drawn, he rushed through the gate and into the back yard. Within seconds from arriving at the residence, Alvarado shot and killed the unarmed boy hiding in the shed." more

Comment by David Somerville on September 17, 2011 at 1:43am: This is another story of how "cops will be cops". What else do we really expect, after years of deliberately hiring low IQ idiots to be cops? Hiring bozos to be cops yields these kinds of results. Any other person who got such reprimands in any other job, even at Mcdogparts flipping 'burgers" would have been FIRED, but not a "cop". Nope, you can't fire bad cops....you just keep them on and on and on - like a bad disease - and still the people of this country do not understand that cops are one of the most dangerous street gangs in america. The MSM treats these killer gangs like saints who can do no wrong. The mentality of these retard cops is worse than serial killers and their psychological makeup - needing to be worshiped and OBEYED as gods, OR ELSE, is the kind of shit NOBODY wants in a relationship with others, but we have these kinds of mentally diseased fucks as cops. Can anyone explain WHY we as a society allow this? I think we need to reconsider the whole concept of "cops" in Amerika before they exterminate all of us.

That poor kid.

When I was 14, I probably had some kind of a scrap about once a week.

So we have yet another out-of-control leo in an epidemic of out-of-control leo's.

When did that badge become a combination hunting license and get-out-of-jail-free card??

And why, with his record, was this guy still on the job.

It's inexcusable.

I hope a jury hangs them all.
