StoryLeak – by Mikael Thalen A Georgia man was shot and killed last Friday, when police, not paramedics, showed up to a medical emergency call made by the man’s fiance.
Alcia Herron called 911 for an ambulance shortly after her fiance, 43-year-old Jack Lamar Roberson, took diabetes medication that worried her.
According to Herron, police soon arrived on scene and opened fire on Roberson in front of the entire family, including Roberson’s 8-year-old daughter.
“They just came in and shot him. He didn’t say nothing, the police didn’t say nothing, anything, it was like a silent movie. You couldn’t hear anything, all you could hear were the gun shots go off and I seen them going into his body and he just fell down,” Alcia Herron told First Coast News.
According to the Waycross Police Department, officers received an attempted suicide call involving a combative man. Police Chief Tony Tanner alleges Roberson jumped towards his officers with two weapons after ignoring commands to drop them. Roberson’s mother and fiance dispute the officers’ claims.
“He didn’t have nothing in his hands at any time or period at all before they came, any time while they were here, anything,” said Heron.
Police have refused to comment on what weapons the man allegedly had but according to Roberson’s mother, police claim Roberson was holding two knives.
“If you’re any type of man you’ll come to me and you’ll tell me why you stood up there and told a lie. Two knives, we don’t own two decent knives,” Roberson’s mother said. “It’s pain, it’s a mother’s pain, her first born to be shot down in her face. My granddaughter’s got to have intense therapy.”
According to Tanner, officers involved have been placed on administrative leave while an investigation is ongoing. Results on an autopsy conducted Monday have yet to be released to the public.
OMG! Seriously? Do these cops even look at the person anymore before shooting? And this is the best story that they can come up with after murdering the guy in front of his family in cold-blood? It’s absolute madness! How can anyone cover for their officers like this? Where is their humanity? The answer is they don’t have any. They are nothing but demons who need to be exterminated the same way they exterminate us.
Folks, this is exactly what Obamacare will do to us all.
i think that this is not about obama and his flawed healthcare plan which came from heritage foundation. i think this is one of many stories, about more than medical emergencies, where police hopped up on steroids and adrenaline proved they are out of control and are loving it. the power the fear the rush.
We are and have been at war. How long will you let their hit teams keep taking out innocent people and get off scott free? It looks like you enjoy it. I mean really if you did not like it you would do something about it.
I am embarrassed by the whole country lately. Just embarrassed. Every time I try to wake up a zombie I get a blank look, when I dress down some petty bureaucrat they walk away quick, like the truth hurts. I am glad it hurts.
But you know what more of this shit is coming, so just keep sitting there your turn will come and others will sit and wait for theirs.
I am sorry but this country is pathetic.
