http://www.wjbf.com/jbf/news/state_regional/georgia/article/wadley_police_shoot_kill_suspect/12386/ Fraendy Clervaud Published: April 4, 2009 One man is dead after he was shot and killed by police officers Friday night in the small town of Wadley, Georgia. It all started when officers responded to a domestic dispute between a father and his son. Authorities say moments later, things took a turn for the worse. It happened at the corner of East Smith and North Main Street. Police say when they arrived, Jerry Conner had a knife in his hand. His widow says her husband had been drinking and was having trouble dealing with some family issues: “In the past three year, he’s lost three immediate family members, his mother, father and brother”, she said. Police chief Wesley Lewis says Conner started to approach the officers with the knife in a threatening manner. One officer tried to subdue Conner with a Taser, but the device failed: “During that time they made multiple commands to drop the weapon and stop his actions, at which time Officer Paquette had to make a decision on using deadly force”. Conner was rushed to a hospital in Louisville, where he later died. His wife says the shooting was not necessary: “Why not the legs? Why not the hand? Why not his foot? Why his heart?“ She asks. Chief Lewis says, “Shooting somebody is the last thing an officer wants to do because when you take someone’s life, it doesn’t only affect the family of the victim; it affects the officer and the department.“ The officer involved in the shooting works for the Wadley police department on a part-time basis. He’s been placed on administrativeleave pending an investigation by the G.B.I.. so, like i said before, the cops are thugs, hired henchmen of the government and the rich that take great pleasure in bullying us common folk (not to mention tasering and killing us low lifes eh?). police aren't heroes, they are muscle for uncle sam's mafia, hired goons armed to the teeth with military weaponry and flak jackets. remember when they said that when guns were taken from the public then only criminals would have guns? well, they're right. only these criminals wear badges and have the blessing of the state to abuse and abase with little to no oversight whatsoever.
