" TURLOCK, Calif. ?- Police killed a 27-year-old man as he kicked,
punched and stomped a toddler to death despite other people's attempts
to stop him on a dark, country road, authorities said.
Investigators on Sunday were trying to establish the relationship between
the suspect and the child they say he killed Saturday night. The Stanislaus County
coroner said the boy appeared to be between 1 and 2 years old based on his size,
according to county sheriff's deputy Royjindar Singh.
"It's been a long night of wondering, 'Why?' ?- not only for the officers
and the passers-by who stopped and tried to help out, but for anyone.
Why would somebody do this?" Singh said.
Singh said the coroner does not plan to confirm the identities of the suspect
and victim until Monday. Because his injuries were so severe, the child
will have to be identified through a blood or DNA test, he said.
The suspect had a child's car seat in the back of his four-door pickup truck.
The truck caught the attention of an elderly couple at 10:13 p.m. Saturday
because it was stopped in the two-lane road facing the wrong direction, Singh said.
As they got closer, the couple saw the man brutally beating the toddler
behind his truck and throwing the child on the ground, according to Singh.
Two or three other cars stopped, an unusual number to be passing through
the remote area surrounded by a dairy, a cow pasture,
a cornfield and a farmhouse, he said.
"What we got from witnesses is he was punching, slapping, kicking, stomping,
shaking," Singh said.
"They tried to intervene and get involved, but their efforts
really didn't have an effect. The suspect was engaged in what he was doing.
He just pushed them off and went back to it."
A sheriff's helicopter responding to emergency calls from the area landed
in a cow pasture at 10:19 p.m. carrying a Modesto police officer who shot the man
to death after he refused an order to stop beating the child, Singh said.
Paramedics tried to resuscitate the toddler, who was not breathing when
they arrived. The boy was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead

WHEN SECONDS ARE IMPORTANT,
THE POLICE ARE ONLY A FEW MINUTES AWAY.
The important thing here
is that ALL present CITIZENs, including the stomper,
were in PERFECT compliance with ALL gun control laws.
Does that make u PROUD to be an American ?
