David Hooks was shot in the back and head as he was lying face down on the floor during a drug raid by Laurens County deputies.
That's according to the lawyer representing his family.
It's been nearly four months since David Hooks was shot to death during a drug raid at his East Dublin home.
13WMAZ's Paula Rotondo spoke to his wife, Teresa Hooks and the family's lawyer, Mitchell Shook.
Hooks died Sept. 24 while deputies served a search warrant at his home.
They were looking for drugs, but didn't find any.

Only if they meant to do it. If a gun went off accidentally, it is not murder.

I think the only way to get these trigger happy cops to fairly pay for what they do is for citizen lawmakers to get busy in every state possible and get ballot measures for fair trial and mandatory sentences when outlined parameters are obviously crossed while apprehending a victim(oops I mean suspect).

just like ferguson, cops can get away with whatever the fuck they want to as long as they have their badge on while they do it.

I was actually just reading about that on the shroomery earlier today. Imagine the look on his face when he sees his own fellow boys in blue rolling up on him. finally cops are realizing maybe they can't do anything they want to
