A San Antonio police officer still in his probationary period was fired after he shot at and injured a 17-year-old boy in the parking lot of McDonald's, the department said Wednesday.

The teenager, Erik Cantu, is hospitalized with multiple gunshot wounds. His condition was not known Friday morning.

The officer, identified as James Brennand, responded to the fast-food eatery on Blanco Road around 10:45 p.m. Sunday for an unrelated disturbance call, according to police.

"As the officer attempted to gather information from witnesses, he noticed a vehicle that had evaded him the day before as the officer attempted a stop because the registered license plate did not match the actual vehicle," Capt. Alyssa Campos, the department’s training commander, said in a video statement.

1. This cop needs to be prosecuted

2. Car theft is no justification for extra-judicial violence (attempted murder) by the pigs

This is some bullshit.

Throw this attempted murderer in the can!

4. "because the registered license plate did not match the actual vehicle,"

Which doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true. Cops will deliberately type in the wrong plate number to give them probable cause to stop someone. They even have a name for it: “fat fingering.” Notice that the kid wasn’t charged with auto theft or a related crime.
