New suit filed in Crawford shooting

CHADRON, Neb. (AP) -- The mother of a 16-year-old Crawford boy fatally shot by police has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit in Dawes County District Court.

A-FIXER:
Ok, you got me....please help me understand your thinking on this allen I just am not gettin it.....

AAllen:
A police officer shoots someone in self defense, this is now the second attempt at suing either him or now the city for his self defense.  We not only need to be able to defend ourselves but when we do we need to be able to be protected from civil suits as well.  This is a Police Chief that should be able to understand our position, and support it.  In order to get things like this passed we need to be able to show there is a need, and hopefully have someone from a respected Government office support us - it makes things easier.

I think a big part of Castle Doctrine in Nebraska needs to be civil immunity if you're found to be without fault in a criminal investigation. 

SBarry:
A friend of mine from Crawford said this was politically motivated against the police chief. The boy had been a trouble maker all his life. He broke into a house, stole the gun, the broke into the vacant bar. He was told to lower the gun several times, but did not obey. The teen was then shot by the police chief and the game warden, but no charges were brought against the game warden.
