The Board of Aldermen of a Mississippi town voted nearly unanimously to reinstate a police officer who shot an 11-year-old boy inside his own home earlier this year, the officer’s attorney told CNN.
During Thursday’s meeting, the board also voted against releasing the video footage of the shooting incident, according to Indianola Alderman Marvin Elder.
In response to that move, Moore claimed the decision speaks to the lack of transparency and accountability over the incident.
