… On Oct. 16, 2016, the complaint — filed July 17, 2017 — said, Schweikle was shot and killed by then-Benton patrol officer Kyle Ellison, who fired three times at the suicidal teen’s chest as he was lowering a pistol he was holding to his own head.
Named as defendants in the case are the city of Benton, Ellison — who is now an Arkansas State Police trooper — then Police Chief Kirk Lane, and 20 unidentified employees of the city of Benton named as John Does in the case. …
… Ellison — who is now an Arkansas State Police trooper …
OF COURSE he is.
I find it “funny” how many people who are suicidal die by cops. You’re trying to talk them down and you shoot them.
I get suicide by cop but most the time it’s just a trigger happy cop.
Fucking rot, pig.
Lol, no. He’s a state trooper now. Probably got a pay bump too
