Cedar Rapids Man Calls 911, Wants Suicide by Cop and Receives It
In the incident, David Vanderhamm, 39, of Cedar Rapids, died after an altercation with police on April 6. Vanderhamm’s mother called police to the 200 block of 31st Street NE around 2:20 p.m. for help getting her son to the hospital for a mental health evaluation. She reported Vanderhamm had access to a firearm and was paranoid and violent. Police Chief David Dostal said Vanderhamm was taken to the hospital, but refused treatment and left. His step-father picked him up and took him home. Later that day, around 6:37 p.m., Vanderhamm called police saying he wanted to fight with officers and made threatening statements. When officers arrived and gave verbal commands for Vanderhamm to drop his weapon. ”Officers developed a tactical plan to include less lethal options. The officer response team included lethal force and taser options,” Dostal said. In the body camera footage, officers can be heard saying to deploy a taser. TV9 asked CRPD if a taser had been deployed. The only response received was that no further information outside of the press release and accompanying video would be released at this time.. Police said he raised the weapon instead and three officers fired, killing him. |

I hope he wasn't killed. The dispatch call was sad. They knew him by his first name. |

This, "team" needs some serious re-training. They setup a crossfire situation and even looks like they shot the friendly as well. This is fucking Police Academy day 1 shit they fucked up... |
