Nashville Cop Charged With Criminal Homicide for Shooting Man in the Back as He Fled

Delke's arrest warrant describes what happened in the lead-up to the shooting. Delke, a member of a stolen vehicles task force, was on patrol when he encountered a Chevrolet Impala at an intersection. Both Delke and the Impala had stopped at stop signs, but the Impala "conceded the right of way by not pulling in front of him," the warrant says.

This made Delke "suspicious," and when the Impala eventually continued on its way, the warrant says he "followed behind it." Delke ran the Impala's license plate and discovered it was not stolen. "Nevertheless, because Officer Delke understood that part of the Task Force directive was to make traffic stops, he continued to follow to see if he could develop a reason to stop the Impala," according to the warrant.

Delke continued following the car, and at one point turned on his police lights. The Impala didn't pull over, so he turned his lights off and kept following it "from a distance" until he "lost track" of the car," the warrant says. He drove around searching for it, and eventually found a different four-door sedan that he "mistook" for the Impala. Delke pulled up near the car, at which point one of the "individuals in the area," Hambrick, started to run away. Police have previously saidHambrick was in the car before he started running.

Yeah, I’m normally one to defend the cops but I can’t see any reason why he had to follow him. People have conceded their turns to me at stop signs. It’s not just some cop thing.

I’m ok with cops running plates any time they get the feeling they should.

Shooting unarmed suspects in the back because they ran is a different matter all together.

Really not sure what point you were trying to make by stating something like this has been around for years.

Are you saying that it is fine and dandy now?

More that the link says “new” but the article is from 2015 and they’ve had them longer than that.

I don’t have an issue with them being used in conjunction with a warrant but no they shouldn’t be used as a passive search of every building a cop happens to drive by.

I’m a religious Waco so those who teach should be held to a much higher standard.

And

In the same spirit those who enforce the law should also be held to a much higher standard
