    The family lawyer contacted my dad to speak as a facilitator between the family and the police. I hope he says the right thing.

    Wilmington cops won't be charged in Jeremy McDole shooting


    Four Wilmington police officers will not be charged in the shooting death of Jeremy "Bam" McDole, a 28-year-old in a wheelchair shot by police in September after he refused to raise his hands, according to a report from the state Department of Justice.

    Prosecutors considered filing a felony assault charge against one of the officers involved – Senior Cpl. Joseph Dellose, who was seen firing a shotgun at McDole in a cellphone video that surfaced after the Sept. 23 incident.


    Prosecutors said Dellose immediately confronted McDole rather than communicated with officers who were already on the scene and then fired his shotgun. The report indicated that Dellose's firing of the gun created "uncertainty as to whether the gunfire came from a fellow officer, Mr. McDole or an unknown third party."

    A few seconds later, the officers told McDole to put his hands up. He did not comply, and, the report said, in readjusting himself in the wheelchair McDole reached into his pants, at which point officers believed he was reaching for a weapon. Three officers opened fire, killing McDole, who was found with a .38-caliber revolver in his boxers.

    The officers had responded to the area after a woman called 911 stating a man in a wheelchair had shot himself. The report released a transcript of the 911 call, in which the dispatcher is heard saying: "They're going to take him out."

    The person who called 911 responded: "Oh my Jesus, don't ? him!"

    The comment raised prosecutors' concerns, and they interviewed the 911 dispatcher, who said his statement was not made to police on the scene or the 911 caller, but to his colleague in the dispatch room. The dispatcher was speculating as to what might happen at the scene based on his belief from the 911 call that McDole was holding a firearm and/or pointing it at police officers or civilians.

    "He explained that it was faster to call out to the other dispatcher rather than making a computer entry due to the rapidly unfolding events," the report said.

    The Department of Justice concluded it "could not proceed with a criminal prosecution" after consulting with three experts, including a former federal prosecutor it had hired to prepare a case for possible criminal prosecution.

    "Although [the Department of Justice] is not able to pursue criminal charges against Senior Cpl. Dellose, it is DOJ's position that Senior Cpl. Dellose's conduct in this case was extraordinarily poor police work that endangered both the public and his fellow officers," the 31-page report said. "DOJ does not believe that Senior Cpl. Dellose should be employed by the Wilmington Police Department in any role where he would be carrying a firearm in public."

    The report also found "serious deficiencies" in how Wilmington Police prepares its officers for such situations.

    McDole's family issued a statement through their lawyers.

    "Our family disagrees with the conclusions of the report not to charge any officer with a crime which seems to reflect the historic fact that we believe that no police officer in Delaware has ever been charged with a crime for the fatal use of force on a civilian," the statement reads. "Blacks also suffer three times the death rate of whites at the hands of police nationwide. But this is not reflected in the report.

    Jeremy was paralyzed and he could not run or hide. He was sitting in broad daylight out in the open with plenty of nearby cover to protect the police. Jeremy was not combative or physically aggressive, nor did he say anything threatening or verbally taunt the police. He was not fleeing from the scene of a felony crime which involved serious physical injury, or a threat of imminent harm to anyone. Jeremy's assailants never verbally warned him that deadly force would be used against him to take his life if their commands were not followed.

    "Due either to their poor training or their lack of qualifications to be police officers licensed to use deadly force to ? , the shots fired that day were unnecessary. The tactical response reflected deliberate indifference to the life of Jeremy."

    The McDoles' statement added that the Department of Justice's action would have no effect on their federal civil case they filed contending Jeremy McDole was wrongfully killed. Criminal cases require that guilt of a crime must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, but in civil cases the standard is lower. A plaintiff needs to show that the preponderance of evidence proves their version of events is true.

    To make their point, the two-page statement brought up another Wilmington case in which a family was awarded a settlement despite the officer being cleared of criminal wrongdoing. This was the fatal shooting of 25-year-old Derek Hale, a former Marine and associate of the Pagans Motorcycle Club, who was killed by a Wilmington police officer in November 2006.

    Hale was sitting on the steps of the Wilmington home of a Pagan when police surrounded him and stunned him with Taser guns before shooting him. A witness told investigators that Hale said "in a low raspy voice" that he was trying to comply with the officers' demands to remove his hands from his sweatshirt pockets. Witnesses said Hale did not appear to pose a threat and had just vomited and was shaking violently from the Taser blasts when then-Lt. William Browne shot him in the chest with three .40-caliber rounds.
