MARKSVILLE, La. (AP) — The public is getting its first look at a police body camera video that shows two deputy city marshals opening fire on a car, killing a 6-year-old boy and critically wounding his father in Louisiana.

Prosecutors showed the tape in court Wednesday to support their claim that one of the deputies, Derrick Stafford, had a pattern of using excessive force — including last November's fatal shooting of 6-year-old Jeremy Mardis in Marksville.

Defense attorneys argue the deputies acted in self-defense and claim the boy's father, Christopher Few, rammed into a deputy's vehicle before they fired.

However, state District Court Judge William Bennett said it doesn't show Few using his car as a "deadly weapon" at the time of the shooting.

1. K & R for visibility

2. The most disgusting display of

Indifference to human life I've ever seen in my life! The man was choking on his own blood and they ALL walked around like nothing was going on. They didn't know the kid was dead but didn't even bother to attempt to render aid to him.

3. That appears to be the trend

ignore the need for medical assistance and let them bleed out. Like someone else pointed out- the dead can't testify.

4. This is horrible. Indifferent cops waddling around, talking, trying to put on rubber gloves,all the

while there is a child dead in the passenger seat and a father bleeding to death forced to show his hands then crawl out of the bloody car and lay down on the pavement.

Despicable.

7. This video is a little more graphic and more infuriating.

Listen how they realize how much they fucked up. And when they realize they killed a kid.

Listen to the cop whisper @ 2:48

There's not a hole deep enough to throw these pigs.

6. I seem to remember that was the case. They lied about having a warrant for the dad.
