DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) – Davenport police have released details about the incidents that led an officer to shoot and kill a suspect on the Centennial Bridge over the Mississippi River. Police said Friday night that officers responded shortly after 11 am to a call from a cafe that serves meals to the needy, and found that a volunteer had been hit in the head by a man identified as 39-year-old Steven Mallory of Davenport. An officer spotted a man matching Mallory’s description on the bridge, and attempted to stop him, but failed. Police said the officer used a Taser on Mallory, but the suspect attacked him and knocked him to the pavement. During the struggle, the officer shot Mallory. Both men were taken to Genesis West Hospital, where Mallory was pronounced dead.
it was a good shoot. If I was a cop, there’s no choice but to shoot him in this situation. (he would have taken his gun from him in the altercation)
Why would you attack a cop with a gun pointed at you? Idiot.
god knows what happened off camera
Why r they asking the cop if hes ok???? he just stopped a guy for being black on a tuesday and then shot him 3 times.
@huyova Nothing should have happened ‘off camera’. If the suspect had followed orders, he’d be alive today.
RIP
telling a dead man to put his hands behind his back.. What fucking fools.. FUCK COPS FUCKING POS LOOSERS
more gay cops who all need to get thre dicks cut off then raped by bubba then shot 100 times all cops must die
All these so called “police brutality” posts seem to be fair cops. Hope this copsoutofcontrol-guy gets ganraped by some lunatics, might help to have some perspective on reality. Theres sick people around, thank goodness for police officers.
This man was a felon out of prison with warents for his arrest.
he would have beeten that cop to death.
so dont try to pull that race card shit that all you people ever do.
if the suspect had been white or the cop had been black it would not have been any different
fuck the police… Ice Cube.
this might not be bad but the video of the cop slamming the old ladys on concrete is just so bad makes me so angry that police think they can do anything and they are like kings!
Well, I live in colona illinois which is just outside davenport and i was on that bridge when this happened. I heard shots up ahead and then i seen everybody in front of me slamming on there brakes i stepped out of my car and i seen the cops pointing their guns at this guy and i knew instantly that this was not police brutality. Why? Cuz the guy was black, huge, and a felon. Obviously the cops had a reason to shoot him. would you guys have called this brutality if this guy was white? i think not
in Africa, your statement would have been justified … in the 60’s, your statement might have been justified..
but if you truly believe “fuck the police” … then you are automatically a criminal.. and inherently a violent savage.
@FreedomFighter247 .Rude Rude Boy Raised By T.V.. Violence And Pain Doesnt Mean Shit To Me.
1:55 was my favorite part:
Man is unconscious on the ground, and the guy continues to scream at him to get on the ground. EPIC.
maybe it would be good to call an ambulance after you shoot a guy? naa.
Thats it! another nigga killed in this wold!
I don’t like all the police BS going on in this country, but that guy had it coming to him.
only if you knew how to spell you fuckin racist idiot@Frostmourten
i really don’t blame the cops this time. the way he treated him vocally was harsh but he did fail to comply and once the man started attacking the officer i don’t blame him for doing what he did.
That guy deserved to get shot.
I am from Davenport, and Iwas very aware of the story, and this was everything but police brutality! That man that was shot was wanted after assulting a man in front of his 13 year old son as they volunteered at a soup kitchen. He was just some homeless man with nothing to do but cause trouble! That police officer had his eyelid ripped off, and they man bit chunks of skin off of the cops face! Just so the story is straight!
shame he wasn’t able to kill one of those pigs 1st
