A cop, a dog and a lack of training leads to a kid being shot

Coffee County (GA) deputy Michael Vickers was part of a search looking for nineteen year old Christopher Barnett. Barnett is charged with shooting another deputy and the manhunt involved the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Vickers found Barnett in the yard of the Corbitt family and was approaching the scene, when the family dog walked up. As has become common practice, the deputy quit paying attention to the suspect and shot at the dog. Instead of hitting the Corbitt family dog, the cop hit ten year old Dakota Corbitt in the back of the knee.

The training problem

There seems to be a problem in this nation where cops are starting to believe it is ok to shot people’s dogs. These cops are on the people’s property and claim the animals are vicious and shoot them. It is should be noted that most cops do not try to stray from their training, so it would seem that this shooting of animals is part of their training. It should be noted that most police officers are family people with pets of some sort. So, this officer was so scared of the dog, that he shoots, misses and harms a ten year old. Now, the training has this guy shooting at a pet and, with a lack of shooting practice, shoots an innocent. There is a disconnect in real world and training that has led to this situation.

Dakota Corbitt is not healing

It should be noted that the young man who was shot in his own yard by a police officer aiming at his pet is not healing as well as he should be. Here, via WALB Channel 10, is what is happening with young Dakota.

Dakota Corbitt was released from Savannah Memorial Hospital and was expected to make a full recovery, but his mother said her son was back in Savannah Monday for a checkup on his injured leg.

Amy Corbitt said her son’s leg is not healing properly. She didn’t know the exact condition Monday afternoon, but she did say it was taking a turn for the worse. She said she hopes her son will be back in Douglas on Tuesday.

Here is hoping that the healing does start going good.

What happens to Deputy Vickers

Also from WALB, here is what is being done to Deputy Vickers.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation in Eastman was called to investigate the shooting. They said no charges were filed against Deputy Vickers. Officials said he was on a pre-approved vacation Monday, and will be on administrative duty after he returns.

“I want to make sure that he’s ready before he goes back out, because he’s really upset about this. I can not explain to you how upset he is about it,” said Wooten.

Toronto, briefly (February 2014)

I have so much backlogged that I don't even know where to begin. I mean, I haven't even really processed what I saw in Toronto a few weeks ago, and I'm heading back there again soon.

I only managed to see two exhibitions, Casting the Negative, at Daniel Faria Gallery and Push and Pull at Mercer Union. Casting the Negative featured works by Iris Häussler, An Te Liu and Jennifer Rose Sciarrino, and I only caught it on the day of its opening, so labels were not up and the back was not completely installed. I asked someone about a work in the back, the work that was or looked like a corrugated metal sheet on the wall, and the small concrete works that looked like jig saw pieces with fluid marks made through them. They both ended up being by Sciarrino, an artist I was unfamiliar with and am now keeping an eye out for.

I spent a lot more time with Push and Pull, largely due to watching all three video works by Bridget Moser, though one of the works I wasn't sure if the two monitors next to each other counted as one work or two, but I am going to count them as three videos all together but with two titles. As performance for video works, I am still uncertain what I think and feel about them, as certain moments continue to stay with me, but they are moments that are cinematic, if not cinephilic, relying on the momentum and confluence of image, time, movement coming to sudden apexes throughout a moving image work. I may not be describing cinephilia proeperly, I never have been able to, I can only recognize the moments when they come. But the static image does it no justice, so I'll just keep thinking about the challenges of performance, video, and documentation, but at least I have something new to think about. I also really felt concerned about Michael Vickers and Nikki Woolsey's pieces, maybe from the reverberating memory of Moser running around the gallery, or from reports from the opening where I heard the drunkest people were trying to protect the work, but the tension of fragility was definitely palpable.
