On February 28, 2015, in Grand Ledge, Michigan, Deven Lee Guillford, 17, was pulled over for flashing his high-beams at a police officer. When Sgt. Frost from Eaton County police department showed up to Deven’s car, he asked for “license, registration, and proof of insurance.” Deven clearly stated that he needed to see three forms of identification for his safety and the officer’s safety. The officer got defensive and refused. Deven then asked for his badge number; the officer continued to be defensive and said he did not have to do that. While the officer was standing aside his vehicle, Deven stated that he was going to call his girlfriend. He started to dial, and the officer suddenly ripped open his car door and tried to yank him out of the vehicle. Shortly after, it ended with a taser to the neck, and 7 shots: 1 to the head, 1 to the chest, 1 to the arm, 1 to the armpit, and so on.

What I see here is a young boy trying to take a step and possibly flex his rights for the first time. Sure, he wasn’t perfect at it, but he was learning and I give him an applaud for this. What a shame it had to end in a death of a young child. The officer could have avoided such a horrific situation like this if he just let this young boy flex his rights. Nobody, especially unarmed, deserves to die for the rights we have as Americans. Justice needs to be served.

UPDATE: The press conference was yesterday. Officer’s killing claimed justified; not charged, and still on the job.

  • The MURDERER with a badge should be imprisoned for the remainder of his unnatural life! This sickens me, stopped for a non crime, the cop admits he’s stopped others about “his new lights” and NOT given them a ticket, then ends up MURDERING A YOUNG MAN BECAUSE HE DARED TO QUESTION THE COP! the kid posed absolutely no risk to ANYONE and he was MURDERED!

    This must be another one of those good cops that people keep insisting exist! He must be SO PROUD to MURDER and innocent, unarmed young man, he can high five his fellow badged criminals when he gets back to the station!
