NORTH CAROLINA — A cop who said “We don’t have time for this” and then killed a 90-lb mentally ill boy has been indicted by a grand jury for voluntary manslaughter.
Bryon Vassey entered the home of a family who called 911 for medical help after their schizophrenic child had an episode.
Rather than helping officers de-escalate the situation, Vassey is reported to have said “We don’t have time for this.”
Moments later he opened fire and executed the young boy, killing him as his parents screamed in shock.
Now, Vassey’s attorney is saying the officer “had no choice” but to shoot the child.
