Politie agenten zijn er om de wet te handhaven en het volk te beschermen en te dienen. Maar voor de 17 jarige Christopher "Bubba" Roupe was dit helaas niet zo en kreeg te maken met een agente die hem bij het openen van de deur gelijk in zijn borst schoot. De reden hier voor?? omdat hij een Wii Remote vast hield en de agente claimde dat hij een vuurwapen op haar richtte. Hoe je het went of keert een behoorlijk fuck up die het leven van een jonge man die marinier wilde worden heeft beëindigd en zijn familie in rouw heeft achter gelaten. Terwijl de agente nu bureau werk mag doen zo lang het onderzoek loopt.

When Christopher "Bubba" Roupe, a 17-year-old ROTC member who planned to become a Marine, heard a knock at the door of his Euharlee, Georgia home, he asked who was there. He got no answer. Upon opening the door, he was shot in the chest by a police officer.

The cop claims Roupe aimed a gun at her. But what he was really holding may have been a Nintendo Wii remote.

According to Renee Vance, Roupe's aunt, her nephew had the device in his hand because he was about to watch a movie. As he lay dying, she says, his 13-year-old sister hugged him tearfully; the officer allegedly told her to "shut up."

Roupe bled out waiting for paramedics. Police had arrived at the house in order to serve his father with a probation violation warrant, though that hardly explains why the officer-especially with 10 years of experience in law enforcement-already had her gun drawn at the scene.

Neighbors who came running after the shot provided details that greatly undermined a Euharlee police press release stating that Roupe "opened the door with a hand gun pointed at" the officers present. "We don't know where that statement came from," read a statement from Cole Law, the lawyer representing Roupe's family in this tragic matter. "The eyewitnesses on the scene clearly state that he had a Wii controller in his hand."
