After arriving at the Murry family home, police instructed everyone inside to come out with their hands up. Nakala Murry says that's when Aderrien emerged from around a corner, running toward the door. Capers then opened fire.

The headline is bad enough but it gets so much worse. Shoot the kid, government finds no wrongdoing for the cops - then files suit against the mom for being an unfit mother?!? Stay classy, Mississippi.

American justice puts the onus on the scared 11 year old to act rationally rather than the trained law enforcement officer.
