Cop of the Year
I hope this got gets sent to the fiery pits of as well.
TURLOCK, Calif. (AP) -- Police killed a 27-year-old man as he kicked, punched and stomped a toddler to death despite other people's attempts to stop him on a dark, country road, authorities said.
Investigators on Sunday were trying to establish the relationship between the suspect and the child they say he killed Saturday night. The Stanislaus County coroner said the boy appeared to be between 1 and 2 years old based on his size, according to county sheriff's deputy Royjindar Singh.
"It's been a long night of wondering, 'Why?' - not only for the officers and the passers-by who stopped and tried to help out, but for anyone. Why would somebody do this?" Singh said.
Singh said the coroner does not plan to confirm the iden ies of the suspect and victim until Monday. Because his injuries were so severe, the child will have to be identified through a blood or DNA test, he said.
The suspect had a child's car seat in the back of his four-door pickup truck. The truck caught the attention of an elderly couple at 10:13 p.m. Saturday because it was stopped in the two-lane road facing the wrong direction, Singh said.
As they got closer, the couple saw the man brutally beating the toddler behind his truck and throwing the child on the ground, according to Singh. Two or three other cars stopped, an unusual number to be passing through the remote area surrounded by a dairy, a cow pasture, a cornfield and a farmhouse, he said.
"What we got from witnesses is he was punching, slapping, kicking, stomping, shaking," Singh said. "They tried to intervene and get involved, but their efforts really didn't have an effect. The suspect was engaged in what he was doing. He just pushed them off and went back to it."
A sheriff's helicopter responding to emergency calls from the area landed in a cow pasture at 10:19 p.m. carrying a Modesto police officer who shot the man to death after he refused an order to stop beating the child, Singh said.
Paramedics tried to resuscitate the toddler, who was not breathing when they arrived. The boy was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
No children within the dead boy's age range have been reported kidnapped or missing in Stanislaus County, Singh said.
The incident happened on Bradbury Road about 10 miles west of Turlock, a city located about halfway between Sacramento and Fresno.

yeah because instant death is a LOT worse than a lifetime behind bars
and cheaper.yeah because instant death is a LOT worse than a lifetime behind bars
Cool, we hadn't had a death penalty debate thread in about a week or so.
Granted I don't know a ton about basic police procedure, but it seems that there are non-lethal options precisely so a cop doesn't have to fire a weapon anywhere near a child in peril. I don't feel a moment's sympathy for the guy, but I'm with pego. Taze the er, send him to prison, and let nature takes its course in there. Kid killers don't last long behind bars.

I used to live 5 mins from Turlock Ca. Truly a ty place.
yeah i'd much rather my tax dollars go to keeping marijuana users behind bars rather than baby killers
Saved the taxpayers some money. Too bad he didn't wing him a few times first though...
That was my first thought - he didn't hurt nearly enough to pay for his actions.
I'm guessing the cops intent was to save the life of the toddler. I don't think he'd be worrying about whether to use a tazer or a gun. In any case, I would hope he wouldn't. When confronted with a case like this, shoot the er first, then worry about whether or not you should have tazed him.
I do believe, based on the facts presented so far, that this dude was either on drugs or severely insane. Think about it, the cops told him to stop beating the child, at gun point I might add, and he just kept on beating... This is one ed up individual, no doubt.
We in the government are working on ways to bring about the bloodlust vengeance our citizens want. For too long America has been tied down by the limpwristed jurisprudential sensibilities of powdered wig-wearing effete 18th-century so-called intellectuals. Animals like this guy deserve cruel and/or unusual punishment.
Just a few of the programs the FBI and Homeland Security are working on:
Flaying -- in this procedure, we tie up a suspect by the wrists from the ceiling and use metal hooks to shred his skin off. A skilled flayer will miss major blood vessels so that the punishment can last longer. The successfully-flayed prisoner is then left alone for infection to kill him slowly and painfully.
Iron Maiden -- in this procedure, a suspect is locked in a sarco us-like chamber in which the door is lined with hundreds of es, which pierce the suspect's body as the door is closed. Newer models feature a small window at eye level and a drain at the base so the suspect can watch the blood drain out of his body as he suffers and slowly dies.
We have several other ideas! PM me for details.
Most criminals in prisons tend to take a very dim view of child-molesters or people that kill their kids so horrifically.yeah because instant death is a LOT worse than a lifetime behind bars
I would be willing to pay a good amount of money for the guy to have lived, just to throw him to the other prisoners and look the other way...
I read this at yahoo.news earlier but couldn't bring myself to post it.
I have no words for this, other than wishing something from a movie I saw by a wise man named Marsellus:
Too bad the cops did the obvious thing, not that I blame them. This is about a 100% justifiable, take-2-minutes-to-write-the-report-and-wrap-it-up shooting if I ever saw one.What now? Let me tell you what now. I'ma call a coupla hard, pipe-hittin' n*****s, who'll go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy? I ain't through with you by a damn sight. I'ma get medieval on your ass.
What I wouldn't give to have been there to pull the trigger... By the way, it really pisses me off that none of the witnesses managed to stop the er from beating up a 2 year old...I read this at yahoo.news earlier but couldn't bring myself to post it.

WTF!? Tackle him, him up with a tire iron, I don't give a , but stop him from hurting the kid. I would have thought people would be braver. In the article it said the dude just pushed them away and kept beating the kid... er would have had to knock me the out, let me tell you!
It was an old couple that first stopped...
In Texas, with the concealed handgun laws, if you do that s*** by the side of the road...
"Yes officer, he wouldn't stop stomping the 2 year old, so I shot his ass 12 times."
"Ok sir, then, sign my autograph book, and you are free to go. Nice shot grouping."
R.I.F.
The truck caught the attention of an elderly couple at 10:13 p.m.
I would have gone ape on that guy. I literally would have jerk snapped his neck. Ninja style. I would have kicked his knee backwards, or snapped his elbow. There is noway I would have stood by and watched that take place without going UFC on him.
Drop the lebomb on him.I would have gone ape on that guy. I literally would have jerk snapped his neck. Ninja style. I would have kicked his knee backwards, or snapped his elbow. There is noway I would have stood by and watched that take place without going UFC on him.
The average elderly person doesn't do after about 7 p.m., much less ninja drop-kick a crazed child killer.
I'm just sayin'...
Nice shot grouping, lol....
He might not have even had a taser....
.......ehhhhh, a CAP in the ass was the best thing for that idiot.
exactly
At least it's not Salida.
Turlock is where my dad/step-mother/sisters live, and his neighborhood is alright, but I'm not too familiar with the rest of the town. Boring as , though.
One is justice. The other is not.yeah because instant death is a LOT worse than a lifetime behind bars
