In sum:
-Man has loud angry phone conversation prompting neighbor to call police
-Police make no arrests, but enter the every-ambiguous claim of "smelling weed" and report it to Child Protective Services
-CPS accuses said man of smoking marijuana in front of son, which is denied
-CPS subsequently shows up with police to remove child, again entirely based on claim by police officer that "it smelled like pot"
-Agitated man evidently has a knife, and gets shot by police in front of the kid
Yep really helping that "endangered" child by killing his dad in front of him right? No surprise police found their own guy innocent either.

The paper reports that she was "baffled" that "authorities attempted to take his son after tests indicated there was no marijuana or alcohol involved." (Post-mortem toxicology likewise found no traces of marijuana or alcoholpuzzling in light of the claim by police that Reddie "admitted to having smoked marijuana that morning."
The scumbag DA took it upon himself, ON HEARSAY, to execute a warrant to kidnap a man's child, over a rumor. They should be all held on conspiracy of murder.
