A Florida deputy claimed he was in fear for his life when he chose to shoot a 17-yr-old driver with down syndrome who he said was "coming right at him" in his mom's van, but video from a traffic camera shows the exact opposite occurred--the teen was turning in the opposite direction and driving away from him. From WPTV: PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL - The State Attorney's Office is the legal arm that determines if an officer who shoots should face criminal charges.Despite having access to this video, the State Attorney’s Office still exonerated the deputy. While investigating the history of police shootings handled by the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office, WPTV discovered they haven't indicted a single deputy involved in an on-duty shooting since the year 2000. Hutton's attorney says the system is broken and the government's prosecutors are not acting as watchdogs but instead as lapdogs. “In this particular case there was absolutely nothing done on the state attorney’s side other than to gather all the information that was provided to them by the very office who has now cleared this deputy. To me that's a rubber stamp.” This is a classic case of the government investigating itself and finding itself not guilty. You can read more on this case and many others on WPTV's website.
