Shock in Utah. A woman called the police because her autistic son was having a seizure and was screaming at the top of his lungs. The officers who arrived at the scene ordered the 13-year-old boy to duck and then, without being heard, opened fire, hitting the teenager several times.
White Linden Cameron, 13, is now hospitalized with injuries to his shoulder, ankles, intestines and bladder. The mother, Golda Barton, told local media that she called 911 last Friday (the 113th American) for help because her son was going through a crisis. In fact, the woman had recently returned home after the first day of work in more than a year and found her son in the middle of a breakdown of separation anxiety.
“He wasn’t armed, he was trying to get attention. The officers should have used a minimum of force,” says Golda Barton. Instead, the officers showed up at the door and after telling him to lie on the ground for five minutes, they opened fire.
