https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7VreBFUonsBam, Already suffering a self inflicted gunshot would if located by a police officer who immediately fires on him with a SHOTGUN and orders him afterwards to show hands. He is distraught and calmly and slowly keeps adjusting himself upright in his wheelchair (His lower body and Legs Dont work and he has a colostomy bag on his leg) as more officers arrive and his uprights himself with both hands on his armrests he is shot by multiple officers, multiple times until he falls DEAD from his chair. The Wilmington Police department did not employ any skills to talk to this man as he was clearly not in his right mind. The shoot first and write in the report later that he had a gun in his hands. It is not clear if a gun was on his person at the time of the shooting, but it clearly was not in his hands or a threat to the officers at that time.
[It is said before they shot the multiple rounds that he had grabbed the gun, but no gun is seen in his hands or falling to the ground. Point is they keep ordering to drop somethings he's not holding. Was he to pick it up and drop it to the side? yeah, Logical thinking, pick it up and get shot.]
Before you click this video you should know that this vid is obviously a very disturbing...

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/police-delaware-fatally-shoot-man-wheelchair-34002499Mother Calls Police Shooting of Son in Wheelchair 'Unjust'
The police shooting of a man in a wheelchair was "unjust," his mother said Thursday, but authorities described a different scenario, saying the man was pulling a handgun from his waist when officers shot him to death.
The shooting happened on a narrow street in Wilmington on Wednesday around 3 p.m. Officers responded to a 911 call of a man who had shot himself, and when they arrived, 28-year-old Jeremy McDole was "still armed with a handgun," Police Chief Bobby Cummings said during a news conference.
McDole's mother, Phyllis McDole, interrupted the briefing.
"He was in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the waist down. There's video showing that he didn't pull a weapon ... I need answers," she said.
Cummings said officers approached McDole and told him to put the weapon down. As McDole was removing the gun from his waist, officers "engaged him."
"I assure you that not one of those officers intended to take anyone's life that day," Cummings said.
Video of the shooting posted online, which the chief said appeared to be authentic, shows an officer approaching McDole with a gun drawn, shouting "show me your hands" and "drop the gun." Other officers then appear in the video with their guns drawn, yelling similar commands.
McDole moves around in his wheelchair and reaches into his jeans, but it's unclear from the video what he is doing. The officers, who are not in the video at this point, fire multiple shots and McDole falls out of his wheelchair.
Cummings said he was not aware of any attempt by officers to use nonlethal force before shooting McDole. He also would not say whether he thought the situation should have been handled differently.
"Only our thorough investigation will reveal that," he said.
The shooting is being investigated by the department's criminal investigation and professional standards units, as well as the Delaware Department of Justice's Office of Civil Rights and Public Trust, which will determine whether any officers will be charged. The state agency investigates all police shootings that result in injury or death.
Richard Smith, head of the Delaware chapter of the NAACP, called for a special prosecutor to investigate the shooting, and "to not have cops investigating cops."
McDole's uncle, Eugene Smith, was among a crowd of a couple dozen people who gathered Thursday at the scene of the shooting. Smith said he was with his nephew about 15 minutes before shooting and he didn't see a gun.
"He had a book bag, but I never seen a gun," he said. "It was an execution. That's what it was. I don't care if he was black, white, whatever."
McDole was black. The race of the four officers who fired was not released. All four are on administrative duty. One of the officers has been on the force for 15 or more years, and the others had been there for about five years, the police chief said.
Mayor Dennis Williams announced earlier this year that officers would have body cameras by the end of 2015.
At the news conference, he said: "We want answers just like you want answers."
McDole was shot near an auto parts store in an area that includes a mix of shops and rowhouses.
A bouquet of flowers was placed at the scene and some gray powder was on the concrete, apparently to soak up bloodstains. At least seven small yellow chalk circles were on the pavement across from where McDole was shot, presumably outlining where the shell casings from officers' guns landed.
A .40-caliber shell casing was found in the grass about 15 feet from where McDole was shot. Police said a .38-caliber gun was found by McDole's side after he was shot.
Smith said McDole had gotten out of jail about a year ago and was living in a nursing home.
McDole has an arrest record that dates back to 2005 and includes convictions for drug possession and disorderly conduct. He was also arrested for carrying a concealed deadly weapon and resisting arrest, but those charges were dropped. In November, McDole was found to have violated his probation.
McDole was paralyzed when he was shot in the back in 2005 by a friend he had been walking around a neighborhood with, smoking marijuana, according to court documents.
McDole initially told police that his friend Randal Matoo shot him, but later testified that he didn't know who shot him.
At Matoo's bench trial, the judge said he didn't know what happened, "but if either one of you expect me to believe that this wasn't associated with some other wrongdoing, think again," according to court documents. "There's a horrible penalty that both of you, the victim, Mr. McDole, and you the defendant, Mr. Matoo, are going to pay for whatever was behind this."
Matoo was convicted of first-degree assault and possession of a firearm during a felony. -
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2015/09/24/delaware-justice-department-investigating-police-involved-shooting-that-killed-wheelchair-bound-man/Delaware officials investigating fatal police shooting of disabled man
Delaware’s Justice Department has launched an investigation into a police-involved shooting in which, authorities said, police shot and killed a man in a wheelchair.
Wilmington police were called Wednesday afternoon about a possible self-inflicted gunshot wound and, upon arrival, encountered the disabled man who was armed with a handgun, Wilmington police Sgt. Andrea Janvier told the Delaware News Journal.
A cellphone video posted on LiveLeak purportedly shows Jeremy “Bam” McDole, 28, in a wheelchair in the street.
In the video, officers approach him, with guns drawn, yelling at him to raise his hands and put down his weapon.
“Show me your hands!” an officer shouts — followed by a single gunshot.
“Show me your hands! Show me your hands!” he continues. “Drop the gun! Drop the gun!”
Other officers rush to the scene.
“Hands up, hands up! Put your hands up!” another officer shouts.
The man appears to raise himself up from his chair a few times.
Numerous gunshots ring out — and the man slips from his chair.
He was pronounced dead at the scene, according to authorities.
McDole, who was identified by family members, apparently had been paralyzed from the waist down since he was shot as a teenager, according to the News Journal.
McDole was black. Police did not release the identity or race of the officers involved.
The circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear. Authorities declined to release further information, citing an ongoing investigation. But McDole’s counsin, Alexis Anthony, told the News Journal that police at the scene said the man refused to put down his weapon.
Anthony, who lives nearby, said he heard about five gunshots.
“They couldn’t [use a Taser on] him?” he told the newspaper. “They killed him instead. They could have knocked him out of his wheelchair.”
The Delaware Department of Justice said Thursday that it was investigating the incident to determine whether police acted within state law.
“The office will take these steps as quickly as possible in order to provide an account of the incident to the public,” the department said in a statement. “Making a determination about whether a person — including a police officer — should be criminally prosecuted under Delaware law is the responsibility of the Delaware Department of Justice and the department will make that determination following investigation in this case.”
The department investigates all police-involved shootings when someone is injured or killed.
“We want justice for my brother,” Ashley Morrison-Wright, 23, told the News Journal. “This isn’t right.”
http://time.com/4048182/delaware-police-wheelchair-shooting/In January, two Wilmington police officers came under scrutiny after shooting Marvin Jones, who is black, during a traffic stop, leaving the man a quadriplegic. The circumstances surrounding the shooting drew fire from the state’s NAACP chapter after the police department changed the story of whether Jones or the officers fired first. The agency first said Jones had fired toward two officers, who are white, but later said he had only pointed a gun at them.
In July, a report released by Delaware Attorney General Matt Denn cleared the officers of any wrongdoing, saying the shooting was justified. No criminal charges were filed.
Smh.. More proof the system is rigged... -
http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/Video-Shows-Wilmington-Police-Shooting-Man-in-Wheelchair-329166411.htmlVideo Shows Wilmington Police Shooting Gunman in Wheelchair
Video has surfaced of an encounter between Wilmington, Delaware police and an armed man in a wheelchair who was reportedly suicidal. The video ends with the man being shot to death in a barrage of bullets.
The 1-minute-and-19-second-long video, recorded by a witness on a smartphone and posted to YouTube, shows a man being shot Wednesday afternoon along the 1800 block of Tulip Street.
Multiple gunshots can be heard in the clip.
Police said they responded to a 911 call at 3:07 p.m. of a man suffering from a possible self-inflicted gunshot wound. When police arrived, officials said officers found the victim was armed with a handgun and that a shooting ensued.
"He pulled out his gun. He was trying to shoot himself up there," witness Sean Owens said Thursday. "I think he may have shot himself once or twice, but he shot the other shots in the air."
The man, identified by family members as 28-year-old Jeremy McDowell, died at the scene, police said.
The video begins with an officer, armed with a shotgun, shouting for McDowell, who was sitting in his the wheelchair behind a silver Mercedes, to show his hands.
A single gunshot can then be heard. The video does not show who fired the shot as the camera dropped toward the ground.
"Show me your hands! Drop the gun! Drop the gun!" officers continue to shout as McDowell moves in the wheelchair. Additional police can be heard, but are blocked from view by a wall. It's not possible to see in the video the handgun witnesses and police said McDowell was holding.
McDowell appeared to be bleeding profusely as he adjusted himself in the wheelchair. It's not clear if he was hit by the first gunshot heard on the video or had been previously injured.
After 57-seconds, the man could be seen putting his hand into his pocket and then a flurry of gunfire ensues. At least 10 gunshots can be heard. The shooters are blocked from view by the wall.
Then McDowell rolls to his left and falls onto the ground.
Wilmington Police Chief Bobby Cummings said he's watched the video and believes the officers acted professionally. A .38-caliber handgun was recovered, he said.
"The officers perceived what was a threat and they responded and they engaged," Cummings said. Four officers were involved in the shooting, officials said. They have all been placed on leave.
McDowell's family questioned the use of deadly force.
"Why couldn't you tase this man out of his wheelchair," asked his sister, Letesha Green. "Why couldn't you use rubber bullets to get him out of the wheelchair?"
Bishop Anthony Slaughter, who lives in the Wilmington neighborhood where the shooting happened, said he counseled McDowell and disputed the man was suicidal.
"He didn't show any signs of being depressed or anything of that nature," he said.
Cummings, the police chief, said authorities do not believe any other video exists of the incident. NBC10 asked retired ATF agent Matt Horace to review the video. He said police gave McDowell just warning.
"The subject in the video had clearly been identified as armed and he was given lawful instruction on more than one occasion to drop the gun," he said.
The Delaware Department of Justice is handling the investigation as is required by state law. In a statement, officials said they will work quickly to provide an account of the incident to the public. They will determine whether charges should be filed.

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/sep/25/delaware-governor-police-shooting-wheelchair-jeremy-mcdoleDelaware governor calls police shooting of man in wheelchair 'deeply troubling'
The governor of Delaware has described cellphone video footage of a man in a wheelchair being shot dead by police as “deeply troubling” as campaigners called for a special prosecutor to consider the case.
Governor Jack Markell made the remarks on Friday after meeting the family of Jeremy McDole, a 28-year-old black man whose fatal shooting by Wilmington police officers on Wednesday was filmed in graphic detail by a bystander.
“The cellphone video footage of the officer-involved shooting in Wilmington on Wednesday shows Jeremy McDole being shot to death – it is deeply troubling to watch,” Markell said in a statement to the Guardian.
Anger about McDole’s death grew among relatives and activists on Friday after police announced they had found a handgun at his side following the shooting. Officers were responding to a 911 call reporting that McDole had shot himself. The video footage showed McDole shuffling in his chair and moving his hands while officers ordered him several times to put his hands up.
The shooting is being investigated by officials from the Delaware Department of Justice’s Office of Civil Rights and Public Trust in addition to a separate Wilmington Police Department inquiry. But the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) said a special prosecutor was needed to ensure an impartial investigation.
“There’s been so many shootings, and every time it comes out it was a justified shooting. We cannot continue having all our folks being shot and nobody held accountable,” Richard Smith, the head of the NAACP’s Delaware chapter, told the AP. “Every time there was a shooting, it came back justified shooting. Everything can’t be justified.”
Police on Friday declined to identify the police officers involved. They said three of the officers were white and one was Hispanic. All four were placed on administrative leave.
Relatives on Friday insisted to reporters that McDole, who was paralysed from the waist down after being shot in back 10 years ago, was not carrying a gun. But police said a .38-calibre pistol was discovered after the officers’ shots were fired.
Markell said in his statement that he met McDole’s relatives “to offer my sincere condolences for their loss” and that he attended a vigil for the 28-year-old.
“The vigil was peaceful and sombre, arranged by a community in mourning,” said Markell. “I am grateful the attorney general’s office has taken swift action to review the details of the case and await the results of its investigation.” -

Would've taken two f-ckin' seconds for a cop to sneak up behind the parked cars and grab him from behind by both arms to neutralize
I'm no cop but it seems like there was a wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better way to approach this situation.. Everyday I'm seeing videos like this that disappoint me coming from the US. -
