Police Officer Shoots & Kills Autistic 15-Year-Old Wielding A Gardening Tool While Having A Mental Breakdown

A sheriff’s deputy in southern California sh*t and k***ed a 15-year-old boy who was holding a gardening tool, officials said.

The San Bernardino county sheriff’s department was responding to a 911 call on Saturday from a family reporting that a boy, identified as Ryan Gainer, was att*cking his family at their home in Apple Valley, east of Los Angeles.

The department said he was holding a 5ft gardening tool and approaching the first deputy who arrived at the scene when the deputy sh*t him.

Gainer was later taken to a hospital where he d*ed.
On the call, a woman reported that her brother was att*cking one of their sisters and trying to break a window and door.

The audio captured yelling in the background, and the woman told the dispatcher: “They gotta take him in.”

“There are great questions as to whether it was appropriate to use d**dly force against a 15-year-old autistic kid who was having an episode,” said DeWitt Lacy, a civil rights lawyer representing the family.

“We need to see the video and the moment of the sh**ting … but it doesn’t seem like anyone was in imminent danger of d*ath or great bodily injury.”
