BOILING SPRING LAKES, NC (WECT) – For the first time since an officer shot and killed a teenager in Boiling Spring Lakes over the weekend, we are getting the perspective from the officers’ point of view. The information comes from the North Carolina Police Benevolent Association, which is representing two of the officers.
The NCPBA says it has assigned local counsel for both Boiling Spring Lakes Officer John Thomas and Detective Bryon Vassey from the Southport Police Department after Sunday’s incident. Vassey is currently on paid administrative leave with Southport.
On Sunday, Keith Vidal’s parents called police for help after they say the 18-year-old was suffering from a schizophrenic episode and was carrying a screwdriver in his hand. At the scene, Vidal’s stepfather Mark Wilsey said an officer shot and killed his son after a confrontation at their home on President Drive.
This is how police unions and fraternal organizations manipulate the law in favour of the law enforcement class. Not only are law enforcement officers rarely investigated as a criminal suspect would be, but they are given the benefit of the doubt and put on paid leave.
The Boiling Spring Lakes Police Chief has cleared his officers of any wrong doing at the scene. Chief Brad Shirley says an internal review shows his officers did not break any laws. They responded to help Vidal’s family, during what they called a schizophrenic episode.
And there you have it. Boiling Spring Lakes Police Chief Brad Shirley has declared that his officers did no wrong. Thus, they did no wrong. There will be no charges filed, no criminal trial and no accountability. There is now a class of individuals who are effectively above the law.
