A former police officer in Kansas and the prosecutors refused the charges The death of the shooting in 2022 With a well -known history of mental health crises, courage prizes were presented twice higher by law enforcement groups for his actions during the deadly meeting.
Celebrations stand in a sharp contradiction with the illegal federal death claim filed by the Brandon Lynch family, 27 years ago, a year ago.
One of the praise, a “golden prize for unfamiliar courage” was distributed by the Kansas Police Association on May 1, 2024, two days before the family filed a lawsuit against the officer, Conner Thompson, and the city of Oil.
In the complaint submitted in Kansas Province, the Lynch family claims that Thompson “escalated the situation unnecessarily” and applied “the unreasonable use of excessive strength”, which failed to consider the appropriate training on the intervention of crises.
The details of the awards were not previously reported – the first of which was given to Tompson by the Kansas City Metropolitan Association in November 2023 -. A detailed review of the awards shows that Thompson and his partner at the time were honored by what the police say at night at the night of Lynch, on New Year’s Eve in 2022.
Specifically, the heads of the heads of the Metropolitan region and the police said that the officers “responded to the turmoil” in a house called by a woman to say that her brother attacked her. Once they arrived at home, the officers asked the woman to wait outside while entering and facing the man, who was armed with a knife and a knife, according to the events of the events in the group.
When the man continued “aggressive” and did not obey orders, Thomson’s partner tried to use the Taser issued by the department, but he was “inaccurate”, as the narration said.
The narration said: “The suspect challenged Thompson’s orders and advanced towards both officers.” “The suspect was close to the officers, Thompson launched his pistol at the suspect, and hit him.”
“During a tense situation, Thompson had what is identification of life,” the narration added.
The version of the events presented by the Police Heads Association was similar.
None of the novel stated that Lynch is in the name and did not make it clear that one of the missionaries had been transferred to officers that Lynch was presenting a mental health crisis, as his sister explained when she contacted the number 911. The accounts did not notice that the officers may have been previously faced in the boycott called “the leave and the value” called “Idrak”. A fatal force in this incident. “
A review of the “courage” awards granted by other officers by the Association of Capital Regions and the Police mayor Association that year showed that they were work such as saving suicide bombers, helping a shot victim and helping a baby who stopped breathing because of the breathing virus.
The law firm for the Lynezaro Marvel LLC family in Kansas City, Missouri, refused to comment on the lawsuit or that the officer who received his actions at night died.
The President of the Association of Capital Regions and the Sharif Association did not immediately respond to the request for comment.
“The officer has been cleared by the provincial lawyer,” the CEO of the Kansas Association for the Police Heads, said in an email, and the joint association was released, “It was presented to us for consideration.”
While the honor granted to Timeson emerged at the award ceremony, the officers did not hear to receive diet related to deadly fire accidents.
Narin Stokes, which Son, Ryan, he was shot deadly Written by Kansas City, Missouri, Police in 2013, I remembered to feel “confused, angry and confused” when I learned that the officers involved in his death were recognized by prizes by a local police council for their actions. The prize, however, was Relax later.
“The officers want to say that they are afraid of their lives – and for this reason they get a prize?” Stokes said.
In the Lynch case, the Police Bodycam video was announced when Johnson Steve Haw province’s lawyer announced that his office would not accuse the officer. He said in May 2023: “Lynch took the measures that caused his death,” and “the reaction of the officers to the aggression of Lynch throughout that episode.”
