Teen-killer Nevada cop has history of abuse
Two Las Vagas, Nevada, police detectives shot and killed a handcuffed teen on Saturday.
KLAS reports that the 17 year old was shot and killed as he attempted to flee from detectives Shane Womak and Ken Hardy - who reportedly fatally shot him in the back. Both are on administrative leave while an investigation of the shooting is conducted. Detective Hardy is the same officer who allegedly questioned Arie Redeker for six hours - eventually forcing a murder confession out of him - before reading Redeker his miranda rights. A few months ago on Bad Cop, No Donut! we spoke with a registered nurse in California who was a former co-worker of Redeker and who was assisting his family in his legal defence. In our interview Veronica Tomas described the treatment Redeker received from detective Hardy.

"It was just the fact that my children were there, and that it was carelessness on some of the police's part," Romero said. "Why couldn't they just run him down instead of shooting him?"
