UPDATED: Police Shoot Arizona Man While Holding Grandson

The Daily Mail out of the UK has more info on the thug shooter.

Here is the victim of this murder.

 

An Arizona Republic list confirmed by police said Officer Peters's first shooting was in 2002, when he was one of three SWAT officers who wounded a man during a standoff in a domestic violence case. 


Between 2003 and 2010, he was involved in five fatal shootings. In some, he acted alone. In others, fellow officers also fired. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office ruled them all justifiable

JAMES PETERS FATALLY SHOT MAN IN 2006... AND CITY PAID OUT $75,000

Not everyone agrees that Officer Peters always acts appropriately. Jason Leonard, a lawyer in Fort Myers, Florida, represented the family of a man killed in 2006 by him and another officer.

He is worried the city backs Officer Peters even when his actions are questionable. ‘My concern is that he seems to shoot first and ask questions later and has been supported in this policy,’ he said.

‘I don't think he's going after innocent citizens,’ Mr Leonard added. ‘However, if you find yourself in a precarious situation, he seems to err on the side of escalating the violence.’

Kevin Hutchings got into a fight with a friend in August 2006, then left and drove to his house in nearby Mesa. Officers had the friend call Mr Hutchings at his house, and police went there, Mr Leonard said.

While Mr Hutchings was talking on the phone, police cut the power to flush him out. Mr Hutchings came outside with a gun to investigate. Police said he shot at officers and they shot back. 


Mr Leonard said cops never announced their arrival. The family accepted a $75,000 city payout.

Your dose of CopDom for the hour.

Yep...That's how much this is happening.

A grandfather is shot in the head while holding his grandson.

The man did not have any weapons, but wait.....He had some guns in his house.

What utter bullshit.

What about the JBT that shot him??????

He has been involved in 7 shootings in the past 10 years.
