There was no weapon. There was no struggle. There were no threats towards police officers. Joseph Jennings, 18, had just gotten out of the hospital that day… He was in school to get his welder’s license. But police decided that when Joseph didn’t answer them, this was just cause to open fire on him....

But police officers from the Ottawa Police Department and Franklin County Sheriff’s Office didn’t listen. Instead, they threatened Brandy and her husband, barking: “You better get out of the way or I’ll f*cking shoot you too!”...

Police officers randomly sprayed literally dozens of shots towards Joseph. Some of those bullets entered into a neighbor’s home, almost hitting a 1-year-old child playing in the house, according to Brandy.

Police never let Brandy or the rest of Joseph’s family view his body. They detained her after the shooting, putting her in a squad car, telling her that she was not free to leave “until you calm down.”

We may need some sort of douchebadge smilie. An armed pig might be a bit trite.
