Police have shot Air Force Airman 1st Class, Michael Davidson, during a minor traffic accident for no apparent reason in Opelika, AL.
The Airman had inadvertently clipped the mirror of a semi-truck and was in the process of exchanging insurance information when Opelika police officer Philip Hancock told the Davidson to put his hands in the air.
Davidson turned around holding a wallet raised above his head when the officer shot him in the stomach, causing serious injuries that will likely end the young Airman’s career.
Police waited 16 hours before informing the family.
Ridiculous
guess were gonna have to take things into our own hands, cause the governments gonna keep sweeping this $#%&!@* under the rug. the damn cop that was arressted last week here in greencastle indiana for multiple counts of abuse, and assault by fbi was released today without bond.
Cory is right. It is going to get much worse. Today’s police departments are training their policemen to be thugs first and perform in a police state manner. What Obama is doing to this country will take a very long time to cleanup. ,That is; if it’s not already too late.
I must take exception to this comment. I am a member of “Today’s police departments” and I was definitely NOT trained “to be thugs first and perform in a police state manner.” Granted this is a tragic situation, but simply taken at its word, we don’t know why this happened…..we were NOT there. Investigation and punishment is in order it necessary, you bet! Yes there are bad apples in “Today’s police departments” but that can be said of just about EVERY profession. But to make such a sweeping generalization is simply ludicrous and ignorant.
Within days the cheif called this a good shoot. Then when asked why the officer shot the chief responed “That would be speculation at this point. We need to let the investigation takes it’s course.”
How can we trust the police when they don’t even wait for the investigation to comment on the shooting. No, rbkep, you may not be trained that way, but too many are.
Simply saying I was in fear of my life shoulde NOT be the only consideration for judging a shooting and too often it is. Qualified immunity lets too many bad cops get away with too much.
Barney Fifes everywhere,trigger happy
IF U HAVE OR HAVE BEEN IN THE MILITARY U ARE A TARGET LOOK OUT THEY KNOW WHO U ARE………………..B SAFE MY BROTHER THEY WANT U DEAD
This is messed up i would almost be guaranteed that this will be swept under the rug and no chareges filed simply because it was a police officer. But if it were someone else you know what the outcome would be. Where is the dash cam video. Bet they try to trump up charges against Davidson.
