This video by KCCI – TV was uploaded 11/14/18. I believe I heard the officer say the area was 58th and Aspen (in West Des Moines) at one point. Its a fascinating look at an incident in your own backyard, especially as it took place a year and a half before the Ahmaud Arbery case in Georgia. Cops, who often confuse themselves with God, think that they have the right to demand a citizen “show his papers”. Swear to God they’ve opened fire on a person because the ‘report’ said “he had a gun”.
A report can say a lot of things. In fact the Des Moines cops had an interesting interaction with this very TV station, KCCI. Approximately 10 years ago the station manager after the 10 pm newscast called to report loud bangs and breaking glass outside their station. A cameraman (Spencer Vaughn) went outside to wait for police, who drove up and opened fire at him. Luckily, being police, they missed.
The unfortunate thing about the incident in the video involving West Des Moines Police and ‘walking man’, is it doesn’t look like they got their ass sued off.
[Thanks to the Waterloo Courier for having the article on the station incident, ‘Police mistakenly fire at Des Moines TV cameraman‘, 10/14/10. Not to mention spouse beater Officer Cody Grimes back on the force??]
