CRIME AND VICTIMZATION
The scenario that I chose from Dr. Carla’s O’Donnell’s discussion was the following: The police are called to the corner of Pine St and 32nd Avenue, where Malcolm LaBelle is clearly in a drug-induced delirium. He has stripped down to his underwear, claiming that he has a fever. Two employees of a café nearby attempt to restrain him, but he throws them off and lunges at the officers as they arrive, clawing and biting at them.
The correct response was to: Warn him verbally with the potential use of deadly force if he does not cease; if he continues, shoot to disable him. One case came to mind, that recently occurred in my state just a few months ago. A grand jury has indicted a Charlotte police officer (Kerrick) for voluntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of an unarmed former Florida A&M football player (Ferrell). The indictment was handed down after a judge ruled the North Carolina Attorney General's office could resubmit the case to a grand jury. Investigators say Randall Kerrick shot 24-year-old Jonathan Ferrell on Sept. 14 as Ferrell looked for help after a car crash.
