Police shoot diabetic man after his mom calls 911 because he was in distress
    #18954713 - 10/09/13 02:37 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

October 8, 2013  | 


A Georgia family is disputing the police’s story about why officers shot and killed a man on Friday afternoon.

Two police officers shot 43-year-old Jack Roberson, a Waycross, Georgia resident, according to a report on News4Georgia.com,the website for the news outlet WJXT. The police were responding to a call from the Roberson house, and they said they regretted that Roberson died. But many facts remain in dispute.

Roberson’s family told the news channel that he was unarmed and had no weapons. They also said that Roberson’s fiancee had called law enforcement because Roberson, who has diabetes, was in distress after swallowing a couple of pills.

“I was here -- and my son was coming from the kitchen. He saw the officer over there. The officer didn't say anything. My son raised his hands,” Diane Roberson, his mother, told WJXT. “The officer took his gun, fired -- one, two, three. I heard four shots. My son fell. Nothing in his hands.”

Roberson’s fiancee backed up the mother’s account of what happened. “They didn't say anything,” said Alicia Herron. “They didn't pull their Taser out. They didn't shoot him in the leg, the arm. They went straight for his chest.”

The police say they were responding to a suicide call, though the Roberson family says Jack Roberson was not suicidal. The police were told that Roberson was being combative and was damaging property. “The officers yelled repeatedly for Mr. Roberson to stop and drop the weapons. Mr. Roberson gained ground on the officers and raised one of the weapons in a threatening manner toward the officers. Both officers fired to stop Mr. Roberson from assaulting them,” said Waycross police chief Tony Tanner. The family denies that Roberson had a weapon. The police did not specify what type of weapon they say he had.

The police officers who fired the shots have been placed on administrative leave while the incident is investigated by the state.

It’s not the first time Waycross police officers have become embroiled in controversy. In April 2012, the police shot and killed 26-year-old Andrew Poole. The police were looking for a murder suspect. Poole was not the suspect, though, and his family says he too was unarmed.

Moral of the story? If you want to commit suicide just call the cops and tell them you need help . . .

Additionally, If you are actually in serious need of help, DO NOT call the cops or you will be shot

Agreed. Australia is full of scum bags cops too, just in US they love shooting unarmed people every day. You just don't hear about it in Europe or Australia.

They are a special breed.  In the states, it really takes a special type of asshole to become a pig.


It'll be interesting to see what will happen as these police brutality stories keep increasing.

These are still just allegations, should we assume that the cops are guilty of murdering an unarmed man for no reason in his home while on record responding to a call? Innocent until proven guilty?

Personally I'm skeptical, if they wanted to murder someone why wait until they're on record going over to the guys house and shoot him with witnesses?

As opposed to morons who make generalizations?


--------------------
You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

In my experience the opposite is true. Most are, there are a couple of okay ones.

Agreeing to enforce so many unjust laws automatically makes them scumbags in my book, though. Every cop knows they're at least partially signing up to put people in jail for nonviolent drug offenses, and extort the public via parking tickets and the like.

You guys don't hear about the good shit some cops do. It's best to play it safe and assume you could be dealin with a sociopath if you're around one though, because the ones like this are the ones that make them all seem bad. I hope this dude gets what's comin to him though, seriously.
