Officials in Louisiana have released body-camera footage that captured two deputy city marshals firing on a vehicle and killing a 6-year-old boy in 2015. The head of the Louisiana State Police has called the video “the most disturbing thing he’s seen.” A state judge yesterday allowed the video to be released to local media. The video was formally introduced as evidence in the two officers’ murder cases earlier in the day. The boy, named Jeremy Mardis, was killed in the shooting. His father, Christopher Few, was also critically wounded. Deputies Derrick Stafford and Norris Greenhouse Jr. claim they acted in self-defense. Discussion Questions: How would you describe the video? Do you believe the officers should be convicted? Why or why not? How does this police shooting compare to others in the news?
