SWAT member who murdered mother and maimed infant son charged with misdemeanors
Back in January, Sgt. Joseph Chavalia, a member of the Lima, Ohio, SWAT team shot and killed Tarika Wilson, 26, and shot and maimed her infant son, Sincere Wilson, as she held him in her arms as he and other SWAT team members executed a drug search warrant at the home Wilson shared with her boyfriend. The boyfriend was the object of the raid.
Police have presented no evidence that Wilson acted in a threatening manner as the SWAT team burst into her home.On Monday, prosecutors charged Chavalia with two misdemeanors — negligent homicide in the death of Wilson and negligent assault in the wounding of her child — that could see him spend a maximum of eight months in prison if convicted on both counts. Wilson’s relatives and activists, many of whom allege a pattern of discriminatory policing by the Lima police, were outraged.graphic appearing on Lima SWAT team web site, removed after shooting
Lets here it for the war on drugs and sovereign immunity!! Possibly 8 whole months for murdering a woman by shooting through her child. Dad’s in jail, moms dead. Kid may end up in the state child care system. What’s the likelihood this kid ends up really screwed up?
