Dad Calls Cops on Son to Teach Him a Lesson, Cops Shoot Son Dead
A father's attempt to teach his son a lesson for taking his truck without permission ended in tragedy Monday after a local police officer shot the teenager dead.
James Comstock told the Des Moines Register he called the police on his son Tyler after the latter took the former's truck in retaliation for refusing to buy him cigarettes.
Ames Police Officer Adam McPherson reportedly spotted the lawn care company vehicle and pursued it onto the Iowa State University campus, where a brief standoff ensued after Tyler allegedly refused orders to turn off the engine.
McPherson eventually fired six shots into the truck, two of which struck Tyler who was later pronounced dead.
The official report claims the action was necessary in order "to stop the ongoing threat to the public and the officers."
Tyler's dad says he was unarmed at the time.
"So he didn't shut the damn truck off, so let's fire six rounds at him?" exclaimed Gary Shepley, Tyler's step-grandfather. "We're confused, and we don't understand."
James said his son had his fair share of minor troubles with the law, and was distraught over a recent breakup with his girlfriend, but was in the process of turning his life around, and was working on obtaining his GED at Des Moines Area Community College.
"He was a smart kid. He made his own computers. He was interested in IT," James told the Register.
The family's demands for answers got even louder following the revelation that a member of the Ames police department suggested twice that officers call off the chase.
"He took off with my truck. I call the police, and they kill him," James said. ""It was over a damn pack of cigarettes."
McPherson is currently on paid leave pending the results of his department's investigation.

Death sentence used to be reserved for the most serious of crimes. Now it can be applied on a whim of any contract killer earlier known as police officer. Their job description has changed from protecting the public to bounty hunters without bounty getting the people preferably dead, not alive. Human life has practically lost its preciousness, officially. The day is close when people are routine killed for expressing their opinion contradicting the rule of the evil high cabal. It has already started.

Great comments from "mystery", "HonestLee" and "Less Prone.
What is truly saddening, and sickening, but more so, maddening, about this event, is that we can hear someone on the radio, talking to the killer COP in the car, chasing Tyler, and telling him; "go ahead and back off, the suspect is known to us."
This reminds me so much of the murder of Sammy Yatim, back in August this year, by the Toronto (death squad) Police.

I cannot help but thinking that this is part of goading the people to a controlled stampede, a prelude of mass killing. Organizing a meaningful resistance is a real challenge and can only happen in the United States where people still have weapons.

Its hockey season in Canada; the folks here are very distracted to notice what's going on, especially here, let alone in the U.S.
