Hearing stories almost daily of police officers going to jail for justifiably shooting armed criminals, I wanted to document cases showing the circumstances involved. Obviously local authorities are throwing law enforcement officers under the bus for fear of riots in their city.
The first post will be what you see in the national news, sometimes years after the incident happened, sometimes giving brief details of the incident, but mainly focusing on the emotions of the career criminal's family, of course playing them up to be victims.
The the post after that will show the entire story, usually found in a local newspaper right after the incident happened.
Story #1: Daniel Hambrick, 25 year old career criminal shot by Nashville TN Police Officer Andrew Delke.
July 2, 2021
The mother of a Black man killed by a white former Nashville officer released an impassioned objection in court Friday over a plea deal she said was arranged behind her back.
Former officer Andrew Delke pleaded guilty to manslaughter over the 2018 shooting death of 25-year-old Daniel Hambrick as part of a deal with prosecutors. Judge Monte Watkins accepted the agreement over the Hambrick family's wishes.
The deal allows Delke to serve a three-year prison sentence provided that he not pursue parole and appeal the case.
"I have contempt for this system. I have contempt for this plea. I have contempt for the (Fraternal Order of Police). And I have a special contempt for Andrew Delke. May you all rot in hell," said attorney Joy Kimbrough, who read the statement as Vickie Hambrick wept behind her.
At one point, the hearing turned volatile as Hambrick's mother, Vickie, gave a lengthy statement as family members and others applauded and banged on the door in support.
"I hate you," Vickie Hambrick screamed over and over again, while also yelling out profanities.
In a particularly chaotic moment, the mother knocked over the lectern and a computer monitor and family members rushed to her side. Delke and Judge Watkins were briefly ushered out of the courtroom.
Delke was about to face trial for a first-degree murder charge, but on Thursday, his attorney announced he had agreed to plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter.
