The mother of a man who was killed by police in Englewood nearly four months ago spoke to CSloanTV, saying instead of reprimanding the officer who killed her son, that officer is being promoted.
Now, his mother tells CBS2 instead of reprimanding the officer who killed her son, police are promoting her.
"While I'll regret it for the rest of my life, I did call them, because they didn't help me, they didn't protect Bernard, they didn't save Bernard," she said. In a statement, Englewood Police said Officer Sharpe has been cleared to return to full duty while waiting for the case to be presented to a grand jury and that all officers are entitled to due process.
Laurince's attorney claims Placide was holding a knife handle -- not a knife -- and he never had a chance. Placide's mother says police should have been trained to deal with her son.
