“Police in Georgia on Friday served a warrant for a probation violation at the trailer park home of a man and his son, a 17-year-old aspiring Marine. In the process of serving the warrant on the boy’s father, an officer fatally shot the teen.

His crime: according to his attorney, he did nothing more than answer the door while holding a controller of a Nintendo Wii.

Police in Euharlee, Georgia – about 50 miles northwest of Atlanta – however, claim that Christopher Roupe pointed a gun at the female officer when he opened the door, which prompted her to fire a live round at the aspiring military man.”* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
