- Police Brutality Watch

A teenager is fighting for his life following a police-involved shooting on an Indian reservation in Arizona. The 18-year-old, whose name has not been released, was allegedly observed by police speeding through a stop sign on the Pima and Maricopa tribes' Salt River Reservation just outside of the Phoenix suburb of Scottsdale. A chase ensued that saw the suspect attempt to allude authorities while driving on a dirt and gravel road that is bordered by a few homes and cotton fields. When the car slowed, police got out and approached it. Officials say the driver rammed his car into two police cars, and then steered toward the officer. The officer opened fire, wounding the man. He was taken to Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn. Two other teens were in the suspect's vehicle but were unharmed. Local and federal officials are investigating the case. [more]
