Newly released video shows the moment when Fresno police officer Ray Villalvazo shot 16-year-old Isiah Murrietta-Golding in the back of the head, killing him. Isiah was running away and had climbed over a metal fence into the backyard of a daycare center. fresnobee.com/news/local/art…
Note the other cop giving chase say "nice shot" as Villalvazo kills Isiah.

Also note, not only did this cop summarily execute an unarmed child by shooting him in the back of the head as he ran away, he fired into the backyard of a DAYCARE center. Sit with that for a while.
Then consider, after Isiah is shot, the second cop who didn't do the shooting but praised its accuracy, approaches Isiah, who is lying on the ground with a bullet wound to his head, kicks his body, handcuffs and frisks him. fresnobee.com/news/local/cri…
Although the city are now being sued, the shooting was ruled justified by the PD & the DA's office never brought charges against Villalvazo. He remains employed by the Street Violence Bureau, which the PD describes as being tasked with “locating violent criminals who are wanted.”
