A police man just killed a young girl this even in my area.

They stopped people at the bus stop to search, for whatever reason, they got a guy’s iPhone.

And insisted he’s a yahoo boy because he uses an iPhone.

The guy struggled with them to get his phone.

One of the policemen carelessly took of the safety from his gun an mistakenly fired and the bullet went straight to a little girl of 14 yes, that was by her mums shop washing dishes.

She was still in her uniform.
