How a RPF forum member's stepson with autism was shot and killed at school by a cop.

Can someone explain to my why the hell we need a "resource" officer in any friggin school anyway?

If your school is too dangerous to be in without an officer on duty, then you should not be in the career of schooling.

This whole thing makes no sense.

I am so terribly sorry for this. There is nothing I can say to make it better, but if I can do something, please let me know. Godspeed to your son(I know you said step-son, but that really doesn't matter when it comes down to it) and may you and his Mother find justice, then peace for Trevor.

Thank you very much. As for the need for a resource officer, unfortunately I do think there is a need. This isn't the first killing at Horry County School. There was one the year before as well. My position is and has been for a long time that I want armed and responsible adults at schools. ALL schools. I can't spell it right but do you remember Chechynia? All a terrorist group would need to do is take over a school full of kids and it would being this country to it's knees. Or when some nut bag comes to a school with the intent on killing our kids, I want someone to take him out ASAP.
As for dealing with our kids who may get violent there should be other means to mitigate that threat. Even IF Rhodes isn't lying and Trevor attacked him wth a knife or bayonet, he should have been able to deal with it without shooting him five times.

On a side note. Just a few months before this happened, I think at Christmas time, me and Trev were messing around. It started out as a little challenge of strength with us shaking hands and squeezing to see who could squeeze stronger. Then we started to wrestle. I was impressed at how much he had grown and how much stronger he had got and he thought he was all that until finally I decided to set him straight and it took like half a second for me to tie him up and get him down. It was like nothing. I might talk tough sometimes but I ain't half of what I used to be when I was younger so I ain't all that either but it was like nothing to stop Trevor so I KNOW that ANY trained and half strong officer should have been able to deal with him even if he had a knife. I KNOW this for a FACT. Shoot. I HATE tasers and I HATE the way pig cops have abused them but in this case, why the hell didn't that scumbag have a frigging taser? OR pepper spray? More that doesn't pass my smell test

Hi Kluge,

Did you watch that entire video? I did. If you did then you must agree it was totally disgusting. Incidentially that school is right around the block from where I grew up in Cherry Hill. It doesn't surprise me one bit that the teacher and the aid are still working in the Cherry Hill school district.
Thanks for posting it. I live around here and never heard about that.

Yeah. I watched it, quite disgusting. It's been going on a long time too--my brother was actually bullied by some of his middle school teachers and while he wasn't autistic, he'd probably be diagnosed with Asperger's these days.

Oh, I'm with you. I just don't want that armed person to be an officer of the state. I want them ALL armed too.

There seems no justifiable explanation for this man's actions, but I don't have all the information either. This would be one that I would want to see all evidence of in front of a grand jury. There should never be any shootings, of any kind, by anyone, where children are trying to learn. And the circumstances, as has been described, warrant a close look at this man. I don't call him officer, because I don't have any respect for someone who would shoot a child like that.

It just ain't right, anyway you slice it.
 
There is no way, that any person, with any intelligence at all would turn their back to a child holding a bayonet. There is no reason, not in a million years as to why a police officer should have a child in a room with said bayonet and lock the door behind him. He was either sexually abusing the child, physically abusing him or verbally abusing him and did not want others to hear about what was going on. My heart goes out to you and your family Captain Shays. I am sure your child was nothing but an exceptionally talented soul. If there is a God, the only place he will be, is in heaven. My older brother has duchenne's and kids used to make fun of him a lot when I was growing up, it was sick. There are people in this world that are just that, sick. My deepest and most heartfelt condolences to you sir. God Bless.
 
Why did the boy take the bayonet to school ? The reason I ask is because a few years ago my son did a project on Tomahawks, because we are Native American we have a whole slew of them. My sons teacher asked him to bring one to school, but check it in with the principle the day he brings it. Now as paranoid as I am ... when my son told me this I said ABSOLUTELY NOT and and demanded it. I called the teacher than day an he said he never said any such thing.

That said, my son had no reason to lie .. and I'm sure he didn't.

I just wonder if this boy wasn't asked to bring that relic to school ?

Do it. I want to see that sumbitch go down.
 
Was any followup ever done? Like more fact-finding on the supposed suicide note?

Before we all convict this guy (btw calling him a "school pig" doesn't really add anything of value to the story) based on a couple paragraphs we should probably all look for a little more information. If the kid had a psychotic break, it could really explain everything from the sudden change in personality to the spelling errors in the letter.

I don't think people with autism have psychotic breaks. Autism isn't a psychosis, but rather a personality quirk. People with this disorder typically hate violence.

Those were my thoughts initially. I spoke to the officer on the scene less than an hour after the incident happened and I came away with the feeling that he was covering for the cop who shot Trevor. Then he mentioned it might be "suicide by cop". This was less than an hour after it happened. Remember that because after a 6 week investigation guess what they came up with? Suicide by cop. They took materials from Trevors bedroom including his computer. All of a sudden they came up with an "apparant" suicide note to his mother (my wife). He misspelled her name though. Let me tell you about Trevor. When he was all but 10 years old his vocabulary could embarrass a first or second year college student. He was absolutely brilliant! There is no way that Trevor would misspell his own mother's name. There was also phraseology in a file (the note) that wasn't at all his way of talking or style of writing. He was a very prolific writer and we have reams and reams of his writings from stories to unbelievable poetry. I think he could have been published at the age of 12 and they're trying to sell me on a so called note where he misspelled his mother's name? It would be so out of character for him to say or, write those things especially if they were supposed to be read by the people who loved him. Like I said. He didn't have a violent bone in his body. He was cheerful when he went off to school that day joking around with his biological father. There was nothing in his life that would cause him to want to die let alone commit suicide by cop. Someone asked about the bayonet. He was an obsessive WWI and WWII history buff. No one seemed to know more about that period than Trev. His father had given it to him among other artifcats from that period and he knew he could trust Trevor with it.
There is some evidence that Trevor was being bullied at school according to a couple of the kids I spoke with at his funeral but nothing too serious that we know about. If that could be a reason then maybe, just maybe he brought it into the cops office to tell him that he was prepared to protect himself if the cops wasn't. That all seems unlikely though knowing Trevor. What I think is the most likely thing is that Trevor wanted to bring the bayonet into school to give a presentation about the wars and went to ask the officer for permission. The cop probably told him no and then tried to take it away from Trevor in a way that caused a struggle resulting in Trevor being shot five F''n times.. I say that because Trevor was a rule follower. He was a stickler for rules, schedules, norms. He didn't like things to be out of place or time and it would get him very upset if they did. It's typical of Aspergers kids. If you said "we're going to pick up some hamburger meat and rolls from the store then go to Mike's house to pick up the charcol then pick up the dog from Mary's house" you better do it in that order and do all of it or he would get upset. He made his mother and father's beds in the morning after making his own and before coming down for breakfast. His stuff in his room was organized in such a way that everything was catagorized and alphebetized in boxes. I never saw anything like it. The things he would write about were all non violent. If I exemplified anger at somebody on the road who cut me off he would tell me that those are harsh unpleasant words and I should apologize for what I said. EVERYBODY who knew him knew he was to the bone non violent, caring, loving, kind, compassionate, considerate, and sweet. Then he brings a bayonet into school to attack the school cop? To commit suicide? Huh? With no expression of depression or desire to want to die? Something else had to be going on.

I think you and I are on to the same thing. Read my post above

no one has yet made the connection between his superior vocabulary as a motive for the policeman?

Has no one ever used intelligent language to an ignorant bully? To the man, it enrages them and brings out their childhood dominance hostilities. I literally do this for fun, to watch the reactions and weigh their feeblenes relative to my ability to add physical thrashing to their verbal lashing. I have even done it to policemen, if they are my size or smaller (adverbs work most effectively)
 
Just got through reading this thread which I hadn't seen until now.

Captain Shays, I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
 
I am not suggesting anything, so the spook monitors can all fuck off here... but were that my stepson, I would hunt that cop the way one hunts deer. He would come to a bitter fate and it would not be quick and merciful. His crime of murder would not go unanswered nor would his accountability be left on the cutting room floor for the janitor.

In case anyone here is stupid enough to think that this has not been getting worse or that it will somehow miraculously get better on its own, it is time to smell the coffee. It will get worse by the day until the people of this nation make it stop. It COULD be stopped legislatively, but I am afraid that this path will never be realized as those capable of making it happen are either too corrupt or the foundations of their mental perspectives are so far down that garden path that they are of the opinion that things are just as they should be.

When police behave as rabid dogs, they must be so treated. We do not catch rabid animals and hug them better. We put them down and burn the remains so as to cleanse the earth of the threat. If you tolerate the threat, you have no basis for wailing when it comes knocking at your door.

Take from this what you will.

And yet the cop was not only cleared of all wrong doing, he was back on the job within a few months. I need to check to see if he's still there. His name is Rhodes

Perhaps Rhodes is due for a tragic accident. I will pray for this and that is takes him down in long and excruciating agony leaving him praying for death.

Spooks don't like my sentiment? Go fuck yourselves.

Seriously - have we not had enough of this yet?

I did Bro. I didn't write about it but when I mentioned that the cop tried to take the bayonet away from him in a way that started a struggle thats what was on my mind.

We're all on some kind of list Bro but be careful anyway. I feel exactly the same way. Just posted a host of stories on my page about TSA violating a dying woman's privacy totally humliating her in front of a bunch of people. Child protective services taking a little girl away from her parents because they tested positive for pot and coke despite the fact that they provided everything for her and never abused her. They partied a little thats, it. Then while in protective custody they gave the little girl adult size doses of phsychotic drugs. I posted articles about Obama now seeking money to build more prisons for those detained under NDAA. I posted another story about the stop and frisk abuses in NYC. I posted the story about the kids in Texas who are now required to wear RFID chips in school and at home. All day every day I am reading about how the government is abusing the American people. I even posted a piece about the cops nearly tasing a man to death for having seizures. People are being killed by cops and other government agencies every day. Our rights are violated every day and so many people are complicit. They're like F'n sheep. The Americans on the other side of the cameras and who wear the badges have become wolves.
We may talk about whatever resistence we're gonna put up or whatever line we refuse to allow them to cross but the line keeps getting pushed back as we say no further. Then they go further, we move further back, draw another line that they cross and the story repeats itself every day.

Find people near where you are who you can trust. Make plans on how to provide for your family, food, water, medical care, dog food, cat food, shelter, cooking, heating and protection and to prevent you and your family from being taken away to some FEMA camp. There is no threat of terrorism greater than what we're facing from our own government abusing our Constitution every single day. We need to face it. It's not going to chhange in any way except to get worse. The trajectory is a line that has gone through A then B, then C then D its at E and heading toward F then we're fucked unless we're prepared to resist. Resist what? Not sure but we know about their tools. Sensors in roads. Drones. Military trucks. Active denial systems. Kevlar vests. SWAT teams. Automatic weapons for them as they take away our's. If there is ever going to be some sort of push back we need to consider what they will be using against us and it doesn't look good. My best hope is find a good place to hide when it all comes down because I know I don't have the training or experience or hardware to fight back. I am no murderer so I don't think I can start taking them out one by one nor do I want to use agression like that. I just want to be left the F alone and live in peace
