I have to completely disagree with you K. The reason why the guy the guy was stopped was he matched the description of someone who assaulted a person who serves meals to the needy at a food kitchen. I don't understand what they teach, or don't teach kids in the US anymore. Make the cops life easy, listen to their instructions and follow them. They probably have had a worse day than you and are underpaid. If the cops are bad cops (small percentage), then follow up after the issue.:thumbup:
From the DesMoine Register :
Police fatally shot a man Friday on Centennial Bridge in Davenport after the man allegedly bit an officer's face and slammed his head to the pavement, authorities said.
The shooting happened about 11 a.m. after the man assaulted a worker at a cafe that serves meals to the needy in Davenport, police spokesman Capt. David Struckman said.
He said the officer was looking for a suspect and found a person on the bridge who matched the description a few minutes later.
When the officer approached, Struckman said, the man became belligerent and attacked. The officer tried to use a Taser gun to subdue the man, but it was ineffective and he "got on top of the officer and tried to choke him."
"He actually bit him in the face and was choking him and slammed his head on the pavement," Struckman said.
An officer from the East Moline, Ill., police department tried to help the Davenport officer, who was able to draw his gun and fire two shots at the suspect, Struckman said.
The man, identified as Steven Tyrone Mallory, 39, was taken to a hospital where he died. The officer, Clif Anderson, a 14-year veteran of the force, was put on paid leave until the investigation is complete.
Struckman said the worker assaulted at the Cafe on Vine also went the hospital.
Sister Bea Snyder, who volunteers at the cafe, said another volunteer who saw the assault alerted police.
The Centennial Bridge links Iowa and Illinois over the Mississippi River.
