Friend: 'He shot him like he was a dog'
Then they said an officer tackled him.
"By that time they got one cuff on him, and were basically slapping him around," Hunt said.
Cynthia Thomas said the other officer was preoccupied with a friend of Thomas,' who was begging police "not to do (Thomas) like that."
According to witnesses, Thomas ended up on his knees, and the officer shot him.
Cynthia Thomas said it looked like the officer and her son were getting up off the ground at the same time, and that's when her son was shot.
"He shot him like he was a dog and turned and walked away. Rod didn't even have a chance to get off the ground with one arm in the air. He couldn't even see," Hunt said. "All that wasn't even necessary. "
Cynthia Thomas said after the shooting, the officer left the yard.
"This really shocked me. I've never seen a person killed, much less my own son, and I don't know what to do now," she said. "I don't have anywhere else to go, and I've got to stay here and live here, with my son's blood still in the back yard."read more

No one is safe around law enforcement when they're working for somebody else, other than you. Sad story. Heard a lot of them.

Maybe he was mistaken for Osama Bin Laden?

How much longer until the public, some 40 million armed adults, veterans and just plain Americans, when seeing the copscoming, just start shooting and consider it self defense?
