Update: Remember the kid with the wii remote that was killed by a cop?

Bartow County grand jury has ruled that a Euharlee police officer was not authorized to use deadly force in the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old.

Cpl. Beth Gatny shot and killed Christopher Roupe while serving an arrest warrant at the family's home on Feb. 14.

According to a search warrant from the GBI, Gatny told investigators "before the door could be opened...[she] heard what she believed to be the action of a firearm".

The GBI said Gatny then began drawing her service weapon when Roupe opened the front door.

Gatny told investigators, "A male subject opened the front door pointing a pistol...and pulled the trigger."

The family insists Chris wasn't holding a gun, but instead a gaming remote.

After a GBI investigation, the Cherokee Judicial Circuit's district attorney presented evidence to a grand jury, who found that deadly force was not authorized. The grand jury recommended that the district attorney's office take further action.

Gatny has been on paid administrative leave since the shooting. The Euharlee Police Department issued a statement saying that "while we are disappointed with the grand jury findings, the City of Euharlee and the Euharlee Police Department will continue to cooperate...with any subsequent investigation."

But the issue may not end with Gatny.

"What we're concerned about is why the officer was placed in this position when the city of Euharlee had reason to anticipate that she would behave the way she did,' said Don Evans, Roupe's family attorney.

11Alive News was first to uncover Gatny's prior job history. Records show Gatny was reprimanded at least 12 times over her 10 years at the Acworth Police Department, the most serious being when she fired her service weapon while confronting three suspects. An internal investigation found the suspect was trying to remove his backpack. She was never reprimanded because she believed he was armed.

Bartow County District Attorney Rosemary Greene said her office will seek additional evidence to determine if any criminal violations may have occurred.

Well, probably not much more will become of it, but it's pretty unusual to have grand jury indict an officer for an on-duty shooting (here in Tex-ass they won't even indict a "peace officer" for shooting a paraplegic in a wheelchair who's holding a ball-point pen).

Unaccountable Authority.

That goes for the Politicians who give the order to pull the trigger as well...

Justice Douglas dissenting in Terry v. Ohio: “We hold today that the police have greater authority to make a ‘seizure’ and conduct a ‘search’ than a judge has to authorize such action. We have said precisely the opposite over and over again. . . . To give the police greater power than a magistrate is to take a long step down the totalitarian path. Perhaps such a step is desirable to cope with modern forms of lawlessness.”

This is mostly the fault of the USSC through its strange-love for progressivism, it has become too gluttonous from enjoying the illusionary comforts and shelter provide by the Grand Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Ever-Darkening-Blueness. Americans now exist under the facade of neo-feudalism, law enforcement personnel are now virtual knights who work under the protection of virtual lords and authority of virtual dukes for the maintaining of their virtual vassals. This is about the militarization of America, enjoy it...or not.

Huh. For the longest time I've been convinced that Virginia is the only place I could live, considering our gun rights are less abused than in all but two states, and the fact that Daniel Harmon-Wright actually went to prison.

Georgia just passed legislation allowing similar carry to Virginia, and if they throw this bitch in lockup, I might actually have two states I could live in.

Still, it must get out to the public the "rigged JUST-US system" Make sure you always have your attorneys and cases do a full 3 degrees of separation of every Grand Jury and juror in any case. Government is stacking the deck at every level of proceedings.

Stay Active & Vigilant at exposing how the system is setup to give the individual the disadvantage against the state.
