I don’t think this situation is right, but this headline is also completely misleading. The cops claim they thought the father was going to shoot them and they didn’t know the kid was in the car. He had just led them in a 2 mile chase with their lights on and got caught in a dead end. I can understand the cops being a little wary, but they weren’t saying the kid was the threat. Sadly the father didn’t pull over (I believe reports are he was drunk driving), and the kid was caught up in the insanity. The cops definitely shouldn’t have fired, but it wasn’t the kid they were afraid of.
Edit: I’m not defending the cops, I’m just pointing out the fake news part.
