Belated Update

I wrote about a shootout between Warren Police and a teenager last year. The official word was the kid pulled a gun on cops and they shot him "six or eight times."

Well, that was wrong.

A memorial this weekend for a teenager shot 27 times by Warren police last year will include youth poetry, music and questions about police brutality and racial discrimination...

(the teenager), 19, a Hmong, died in September when police say they shot the Warren resident after he pointed a gun at them in his home. A wrongful-death lawsuit against the Warren Police Department is pending.

27 times seems a little, well, excessive for self-defense.
