Shock in Utah, police shoot an autistic boy who had a seizure: a serious 13 year old

More controversy over the American police and a new wave of indignation in the United States for an episode that occurred in Salt Lake City in Utah. A woman called the police because her autistic son was having a seizure and was screaming at the top of his voice. The officers who arrived on the spot ordered the 13-year-old boy to get down and then, unheard, opened fire, hitting the teenager several times. The boy, Linden Cameron, now hospitalized with injuries to his shoulder, ankles, intestines and bladder: his condition, according to the doctors, is serious.

The mother, Golda Barton, told local media that he called 911 last Friday (the 113th American) for help, as his son was having a crisis. The woman had in fact recently returned home from the first day of work in more than a year and found her son in the throes of a crisis of separation anxiety. He wasn’t armed, he was trying to get attention. The agents should have used a minimum of force, the mother said. The agents instead showed up at the door and after telling him to lie down on the ground, they opened fire.
