Delaware Police Shoot Man in Wheelchair; His Relatives Ask Why

[Pink.]

Police officers, their guns raised, approach the man in the wheelchair and yell out loudly and repeatedly: "Drop the gun" and "hands up."
His hands don't rise. Shots are fired. And the man keels over out of his wheelchair and onto the ground.


The police chief in Wilmington, Delaware, defended his officers Thursday. The handicapped man, Jeremy McDole, was armed with a .38 caliber gun -- the same one he'd apparently used on himself earlier, Chief Bobby Cummings said. And he never complied with the officers' requests.


Instead, "when Mr. McDole began to remove the weapon from his waist, the officers engaged him," Cummings said. In other words, the officers opened fire because they were concerned McDole might fire his weapon at them.


But the handicapped man's mother saw it differently.


Phyllis McDole alluded to a video -- which Cummings acknowledged but said he hasn't authenticated -- which she said shows that her son "didn't pull a weapon. He had his hands in his lap."
In the footage, a witness can be heard saying "put your hands up" and "he's reaching again." But it's not obvious what exactly the handicapped man was doing with his hands just before the shots rang out.
Yet Phyllis McDole -- who spoke at the same news conference as Cummings, despite their obvious differences of opinion -- doesn't understand why her son died. He was 28-years-old and paralyzed from the waist down, she points out.
The mother said, "This is unjust."


Mayor: 'We want answers'


The call came in around 3 p.m. Wednesday that there was a man suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound who was still armed, Cummings explained.


A number of officers arrived and approached McDole. Their guns were pointed toward his stationary wheelchair as they circled, shouting their demands that he let go of the weapon. It wasn't evident from the video if the gun was ever in his hands as police approached.


This took place before a few moments of relative silence.


That's when, the Wilmington police chief said, McDole "began to remove the weapon from his waist, the officers engaged him and -- as a result of the injuries Mr. McDole sustained -- he lost his life."


Hours after the shooting, the loss of life seemed about the only thing that police and McDole's mother agreed on.


Wilmington Mayor Dennis Williams promised at Thursday's news conference that the family "will be notified step-by-step throughout the investigation.
And he concurred with Phyllis McDole in at least one respect: "We want answers."

after watching the video....

CUNTS!!! In a tense situation you need to keep the peace to try to maintain peace.....when all of the cops start shouting all it does is create confusion and a noisy, disturbing situation.... there should be one person communicating with the suspect' and the rest ready to follow orders...

is it necessary to shoot as many bullets as they do?? one well placed shot should be enough, especially if there are five guns shooting...overkill by cunts

2commondenom: Here last Saturday, a guy was shot 18 times after a chase. still waiting to see that video. The Slidell police department claimed he got out of his vehicle AIMING at police.

Holding a gun and aiming a gun are two different things, but if hea willing to shoot policemen, then he got what he had coming.

I just dont know in this case.

[Pink.]

was that a shot before the screaming? at 0.08??? and where exactly were his hands...???

They knew he was already not doing well at all.

He deserved to die and did.

His low life Ghetto Trash family are Third World low life Ghetto Trash scumbags that should be expelled from the country to Zimbabwe.

Any Third World type people that get in any trouble should be expelled to Zimbabwe.

If there is violence involved, they should be expelled to ISIS controlled Syria.
