Slater, Iowa - James Comstock thought he was doing the right thing by calling police after his 19-year-old son, Tyler, took his truck without his permission, but now he's planning his son's funeral.

"He took off with my truck. I call the police, and they kill him," James Comstock told The Des Moines Register on Tuesday. "It was over a damn pack of cigarettes. I wouldn't buy him none.

"And I lose my son for that."

In the audio, police can be heard saying that "they know the suspect" and therefore they can "probably back off". The point being, this was not a situation that required the use of deadly force. This young kid was angry and needed help, instead, he was shot to death by trigger happy cops in the "land of the free".

Society's Child indeed.
