Yesterday,
BOSSIP
reported
that
a
grand
jury
in
Mississippi
decided
that
no
criminal
charges
will
be
filed
against
Sgt.
Greg
Capers
for
unnecessarily
shooting
11-year-old
Aderrien
Murry
inside
his
home.
Back
in
May,
Aderrien’s
mother
Nakala
Murry
awoke
to
the
sound
of
her
daughter’s
“irate”
father
banging
on
the
bedroom
window.
She
called
the
police
to
help
ensure
her
family’s
safety.
Instead,
the
police
shot
her
son
Aderrien
in
an
inexcusable
instance
of
“shoot
first,
ask
questions
last.”
Fortunately,
the
gunshot
wound
was
not
fatal
but
as
a
result,
Capers
was
suspended
without
pay
and
the
Murry
family
filed
a
$5
million
lawsuit
against
the
city
of
Indianola,
the
police
chief,
several
officers,
and
Greg
Capers.
On
Tuesday,
according
to
ABC
News,
Capers
appeared
on
Good
Morning
America
to
speak
publicly
for
the
first
time
about
the
shooting
in
the
wake
of
the
grand
jury’s
“blue
lives
matter”
protection.
Sufficed
to
say,
he
doesn’t
sound
very
contrite.
In
fact,
we’d
venture
to
say
that
he
sounds
defiant
and
condescending.
“People
have
their
own
opinion,
and
unless
they’re
in
our
shoes,
you
never
know
dexactly
what
you
may
run
into
or
encounter
on
a
day’s
time,
within
your
12-hour
schedules,”
Capers
said
when
asked
what
he
thinks
about
people
who
believe
he
acted
poorly.
He
continued,
“You
just
never
know
what
you
may
run
into.
Spur
of
the
moment,
it’s
a
split
decision
that
has
to
be
made.”
When
asked
if
he
even
thinks
about
what
he’s
done
to
a
young
child,
one
whom
he
actually
knew
prior
to
the
shooting,
Capers
replied,
“All
the
time.”
Police
Benevolent
Association
lawyer
Michael
Carr
represented
Capers
in
this
case
and
he
described
Capers’
actions
as
“not
intentional”
and
“not
reckless”
in
addition
to
“It
was
a
pure
accident.”
Doesn’t
sound
like
an
accident
to
us.
The
gun
didn’t
go
off
by
itself.
It
wasn’t
a
malfunction.
Capers
intentionally
aimed
his
weapon
at
Murry
and
pulled
the
trigger.
That’s
not
how
“accidents”
work.
