The young felon was wanted on probation violations and had reportedly been ducking cops in his hometown for days. On May 5, he was riding in a car with 21-year-old Savannah Hill and another woman. Hill knew Farris had a warrant out for his arrest and wanted to help officers get him into custody, according to court documents.

She called police from the bathroom of a Casey's gas station and hatched a plan to have officers pull them over. Farris would just run if police tried to take him at the gas station, Hill warned, but if police conducted a traffic search instead, he would instead be trapped in her backseat by child safety locks on the doors.

Police apparently agreed — a decision that would not only cost Hill her life but also injure an officer.

Authorities say officers stopped Hill's car as planned, but when they approached, Farris flipped out. According to court documents, he lunged into the front seat and jammed Hill's leg down on the gas pedal to try to get her to drive. The car instead lurched backward and smacked Aurora police officer Chris Kozisek. A second officer, David Chatman, opened fire on the car, hitting Hill.

...

Trotter is prosecuting Farris under a section of Missouri law that holds defendants responsible if they try to flee from a felony crime and another person is killed as a result.

Hope you feel safe, knowing that it's perfectly legal for police to kill innocent people.

1. Police and criminal should both be punished.

Lady who got killed wasn't so bright, either.
