Families of killers always amaze me. Cop killer, Esteban Carpio, who shot a detective with his own gun while being questioned by police, suffered injuries after attempting to escape after the murder, by jumping out of a 3rd floor window. The family's first reaction to their cop killer son's appearance in court? Police brutality. His aunt said he was suffering from mental problems (don't these precious killers always suddenly suffer from something when they get caught?), and proclaimed:
"He needed help and we couldn't get it and we tried and tried...He didn't deserve this. He's a victim just as much as anybody else in this."
Let's not talk about what your little cop killer deserves and doesn't deserve. The FBI did a month long investigation and found that Carpio was never brutalized by anyone and his injuries were due to his escape from the 3rd floor window. Baseless allegations of police brutality by the family are not only offensive, they're disrespectful to the slain officer's memory and his family.
The fact is...we know Carpio was being questioned by the detective, and that the detective was at that time murdered (which means, Carpio is, indeed a cop killer), so it's offensive to the officer's family that the first thing out of the family's collective mouth was- "police brutality!" To accuse the man that your son murderered of brutalizing him is beyond the pale, and you should be ashamed of yourself. i don't care how much you love your son, this is just unacceptable, and your unfounded accusations of a slain officer are a slap in the face to the officer's memory and his family that survives him.
James Allen, the detective Carpio brutally murdered was married and had two daughters. THOSE are the only victims here...not your murdering son.
Again, it has to be pointed out- who lead the charge in demanding an investigation into the cause of cop killer's injuries? The ACLU. Yes, folks, the Christian attacking, nazi/nambla/kkk defending, cop killer supporting ACLU. Shocking, I know.
UPDATE (4:43AM): Ahhh...not only did the ACLU get involved, the NAACP also got involved, because Carpio is black, and of course cops abuse black Americans everyday.
