<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%;">The murder of Jeremy McDole at the hands of Wilmington Police still looms over the city’s head. After his murder on September 23, 2015, there have been many protests for justice with no avail. Since the beginning, the McDole family has been asking for answers, along with justice in this case. Police told the media and the family that a gun was found on Jeremy and over the last 5 years, no pictures or weapon was produced for the family or the media. On July 28 the department decided to release pictures that they say show the crime scene and the weapon that Jeremy had. However, once you look at all the evidence, it is clear that the scene was tampered with, which takes away from the integrity of the entire scene and the officers involved.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%;">After Keandra McDole, the sister of Jeremy was interviewed by a prominent journalist, the pictures surfaced. The journalist asked why the pictures were never presented to the family or the media, and then shortly after the pictures were released to the public by the DOJ. One would think that would be the end of it, however it is clear when you compare the video to the pictures presented by the DOJ, that the pictures do not show how things really happened. We can assume that these pictures were taken to be presented as the truth, however cell phone footage shows that the pictures taken by police and the scene don’t match.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%;">In the video of Jeremy’s murder, we see that he falls to his left, over the arm of the wheel chair. As Jeremy falls we can see that nothing falls with him. Also several moments before the shooting, we never see anything in Jeremy’s hands. The officers on the scene also noticed his hands were empty. Reckless officer, Joseph Dellose, known as “Shot Gun Joe” arrived on the scene and promptly grabbed his shot gun. He ran up, with no regard to safety and shot Jeremy in the neck 2 seconds after telling him to “show his hands”.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%;">In the video clip we see Jeremy and his wheel chair are facing the street. There is a grey car to Jeremy’s right. Jeremy’s chair is not touching the back of the grey car. After he is shot and he falls to the left, Jeremy’s chair stays facing the street. In the pictures that the DOJ released recently, they show the front of Jeremy’s wheel chair touching the back bumper of the grey car. It also shows a weapon close to the curb to the right of the wheel chair. We can see Jeremy’s body to the left of his wheel chair in the same picture, only showing his foot. The wheel chair is at least two feet away from his body. Per the video that is not where the wheel chair was when Jeremy fell out of it. The wheel chair was moved and placed where we see it documented in the DOJ pictures. In the video we see nothing being thrown by Jeremy or anything falling from his person or chair. Using gravity as the only factor, if this weapon was on Jeremy it would not have fell where it was. They have loosely claimed than an officer picked the weapon off of his body and moved it. That would make no sense now would it?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%;">Police in Wilmington are allegedly not above tampering with evidence or planting it. In the Yahim Harris case, another unarmed victim of gun violence by the hands of police, it is alleged that officers tried to plant a cell phone on him, in an attempt to say that police mistook the cell phone for a fire arm. However footage from a near by pizzaeria made that claim impossible to pass off as the truth. Also on the Jabri Hunter case, video footage captured by a near by resident seemed to be tampered with by the time Special Investigator Terence Jones got ahold of the film. He was told by the residence owner that the password and log in to the footage was already given to police a week prior.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%;"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%;">The family of Jeremy McDole continue to fight for justice for him and the city continues to protest for him, however the system in Delaware is continuing to fail and cover up the truth with great indecency and boldness. Kathleen Jennings, the current Attorney General does not seem concerned with the injustices that have happened nor does she seem interested in reopening the case on Jeremy despite new evidence being brought to her attention. She needs to be voted out. Regardless of what is said, we can see with our own eyes that there is clearly a problem. If things were like they said, there would be no need to stage a crime scene or plant a weapon. This has to be criminal...actually it is criminal and we demand justice for Jeremy McDole. We encourage you to use your own two eyes and your common sense to see that these officers were trying to cover up their wrong doing. </p>

Their son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend was tragically taken by police violence. No one could of imagined that Jeremy would not make it home that night. Most of the children in his neighborhood and family anticipated his return home at the end of his work day. The kids loved to see him coming and he loved to do things for them, such as take them to the store and give me pocket money. Jeremy was a caring young man who loved his mother, his family and his community and they loved him just as much.</p>
<p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}6827928282,RESIZE_584x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}6827928282,RESIZE_400x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="6827928282?profile=RESIZE_400x" width="400" /></a>The day that Jeremy was murdered by police, he had been robbed and shot by an assailant, whose image was picked up by a local establishments closed circuit camera. After being shot, Jeremy was assisted by a concerned citizen. At this time, they were not aware that Jeremy had been shot. A local store clerk was told that Jeremy had shot himself and that he still had the fire arm in his possession. Without verifying these statements, the clerk called police and relayed the incorrect information to police. Before arriving, police were prepared to come into contact with a weapon yielding, suicidal person. However upon arriving on the scene police quickly realized that Jeremy was not holding a weapon, nor was he behaving erratically or suicidal.</p>
<p>The officers who deployed to the scene had the situation under control. This is when things went wrong. Joseph Dellose, a CPL at the time, who has since been fired for continued poor policing, arrived on the scene and after being there less than 10 seconds, Dellose approached Jeremy, told him to show his hands and then immediately afterward opened fire with a shot gun, which struck Jeremy in the neck and chest. Other officers on the site, unsure who fired first, began to shoot into Jeremy as well. The shot him 16 times. Forensics says that the first shot by Dellose would have been enough to kill Jeremy and that the only reason Jeremy stayed in his wheel chair so long, was because of the force of the bullets. When Dellose was asked why he didn't "stand down" like his fellow officers instructed he responded with "he had tunnel vision". His ability to carry a firearm was taken away after this incident.</p>
<p>In the Use of Force Continuum laws (a guideline for how police are supposed to interact with citizens) it clearly states the steps and procedures when dealing with citizens. Jeremy did not have a weapon and his hands were visible at all times, therefore deadly force should of never been used. It is clear that excessive force was used, however no officers were charged because of the immunity law that currently exists in Delaware. It states that if an officer “fears for their lives or the safety of others” they can use deadly force. Dellose didn’t even seek cover when approaching Jeremy. Fear obviously wasn’t a factor. Over the last 5 years the community has taken to the streets in protest in the murder of Jeremy and the corruption that seems to be protecting officers that commit crimes against citizens.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}7111229474,RESIZE_1200x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}7111229474,RESIZE_400x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="7111229474?profile=RESIZE_400x" width="400" /></a><strong>Keandra McDole (Sister) takes to the streets for justice for her brother</strong></p>
<p>In a chat with someone we will not name at this time, the mind of the Wilmington police after Jeremy was killed was "he was a piece of shit". As the average citizen we are not allowed to assault or murder people because we feel adversely about them. Police should be no different, and in actuality their standard should be higher. How a police officer feels personally should not be on the job and if it does show up, consequences of that fact, especially when it results in death, should have a consequence. Another big issue is that new evidence has been brought to the Attorney General’s, Kathleen Jennings, attention by Terence Jones, a civil rights private investigator, however she is not even trying to review it. It is her job to review new evidence in all cases. It seems that she too is a part of the problem and rather protect bad police work than to give a family the justice they deserve.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}7111311082,RESIZE_930x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}7111311082,RESIZE_400x{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="7111311082?profile=RESIZE_400x" width="300" /></a><strong>Kathleen Jennings, DE, Attorney General</strong></p>
<p>With lack of consequences, laws that protect bad cops and politicians that won’t do the right thing, Jeremy McDole is not receiving the justice that he deserves. He should not be dead. Being robbed and shot should not be a death sentence. Unarmed men should not be shot or killed. We are hoping to get the immunity law gone or reformed in Delware. If an officer kills and unarmed person, immunity should not be on the table. Until we give the police consequences for their actions, they will continue to be reckless when it comes to human life. Another issue is the lies that police report the news papers. They often state that a weapon was found when it was not. This was true in this case as well other cases that involved unarmed citizens. The police attempt to manipulate the media has been successful in many instances. We can only assume this is done to cover up the intensity of their crimes.</p>

<p dir="ltr"> With the current climate in America, many discoveries are being made regarding the police departments and administrations above them. In the wake of the murder of George Floyd by the hands of police officers, police reform and even talks of police defunding have all come to our attention, be it on the internet, via protests, or our television news. Almost everyone talking about or has spoken about the condition of the police departments across America. Why, according to the numbers, Black people are killed, assaulted, and arrested more frequently than any other demographic. Many attribute this to the fact that the police force was created first as a slave patrol. The police have literally been targeting people of color since conception. </p>
<br />
<p dir="ltr"> Amid my investigation of the police, the more that I've learned, the more I could clearly see that the police that we hire to protect and defend was indeed breaking the law. Not only were they breaking the laws set within their institution, but they were also breaking the laws of the land. It seemed America has become so jaded and blinded by police's crimes that actual crimes were being accepted as "normal" police work. However, with more crimes against black citizens at the hands of the police, the world had to take a serious look at what the police have been doing for dozens of years. </p>
<br />
<p dir="ltr">Being from Delaware, particularly Wilmington, it is no surprise that my path leads me back there. The particular case that began the investigation further into who the Wilmington police were made of was the case of Jeremy McDole. In 2015, Jeremy, a robbery victim who had been shot by his attacker, was confronted by police. Nearby store personnel called the police and incorrectly informed them that Jeremy had shot himself but still was armed. When the police reached the scene, they expected him to be armed. However, it was clear very quickly that Jeremy had no weapon in his hand. Their commands went from "drop it" to "put your hands up." We will never know why Jeremy did not put up his hands, but what we do know is that Jeremy was not armed and never pointed any weapon at police, nor did at any time he had something in his hand. </p>
<br />
<p dir="ltr"> The issue with this case is police initially lied about what happened. They said that Jeremy was armed. At this time and still, to this day, Wilmington police do not have body cams, so this was a lie easy to tell. However, footage captured by a bystander quickly showed that it was a lie. The leading officer of interest, in this case, is named Joseph Dellose, who went by the nickname "Shotgun Joe" at the time. One of the interesting points of this case is Dellose was not called to this scene. Officers were already deployed and in place when he decided to speed over and become involved. Once arriving, the officers on the ground told Dellose to stand down; however, he didn't, and he shot Jeremy in the neck with a shotgun. When asked why he behaved that way, official documents say he stated, "he had tunnel vision." As a result, Dellose was never allowed to carry a weapon again. He was eventually fired because he continued to have incidents. </p>
<br />
<p dir="ltr"> This was not the only issue that Wilmington police seem to have. There is another incident of Jabri Hunter. Jabri had been shot by an officer and was parked on the side of the road unconscious. What makes this case particularly interesting is because officers visited the home of a neighbor who had video footage of the shooting. Once Terence Jones, a private investigator, reached the neighbor, he found out the neighbor had already given the user name and password to police. Jones then discovered that the copy of the tape had been altered, stopping right before the shooting. This is not the first time Wilmington police have had incidents with tapes. When Jeremy McDole was shot, they also altered the recording, cutting off or blurring out the actual shooting. They even scrubbed it from the net, until recently. To add insult to injury the day before the preliminary hearing, it was decided that there would be a new lawyer appointed over Jabri's case. The lawyer that was chosen had no real knowledge of the case. Jabri never got the chance to face his accusers because not one officer involved in the shooting showed up in court. The criminal acts within the Wilmington police continue. </p>
<br />
<p dir="ltr"> Another victim of Wilmington's police is Yahim Harris. Yahim, just like the other young men in this article, was unarmed when police fired at him. Though still being investigated, it seems that the police attempted to plant evidence on Yahim, but a local storefront camera caught the crime on tape. This alleged officer still serves on the Wilmington police force. What Yahim's case and Jeremy cases have in common is Officer MacColl was involved in both incidents (Cherry, 2019). Yahim Harris, though lucky to be alive, will be affected for the rest of his life for this incident. Though Yahim was suspected of carjacking and having a weapon, eventually all charges were dropped. Terence Jones once again stepped in as the civil rights investigator. He said through enhanced video, "it is pretty clear that Yahim Harris had nothing in his hand" (Parra, 2019). In the McDole and Harris case, police have stated a gun was present; however, no evidence of one has ever been presented to the state or the families. </p>
<br />
<p dir="ltr"> These incidents have made police make comments and mentions of adapting better escalation of force practices; however, we are unclear if this has taken place. In 2017 in an article by WDEL.com, titled "Wilmington Police to Adopt New Use of Force Policy, Jeremy McDole will not have died in vain" (Huet, 2017). it is clear that not only the citizens can see that the police in Wilmington has had the ability not to face the consequences after they shoot unarmed citizens. The Wilmington police currently are protected by law with immunity. "Our attorney general said that he could not indict officer Joseph Dellose, who shot and killed Jeremy McDole because in Delaware we have a different standard. It's is not an objective reasonableness. It is the subjective fears or thoughts of the officer" (Neuberger, 2017). This states that an officer can say that they feared that their life was in danger, and they can shoot or kill a citizen with no consequence. The attorney general at the time believed that Dellose should have felony assault charges pressed against him once more evidence was gathered (Neuberger, 2017). The new attorney general seems to think differently. </p>
<br />
<p dir="ltr"> Kathleen Jennings, the current attorney general, seems not to be interested in reopening the case on Jeremy or finding justice. Even when presented with new evidence by Terence Jones, a private investigator and Founder/Executive Director of Total Justice Lead Investigator has stated his opinion and the community's opinion that Jennings is corrupt and "the oppressor." When he alerted Jennings that there was new evidence on the McDole case, she stated that she didn't plan on reopening the case. However, when presented with new evidence, this evidence is supposed to be considered and investigated. Jones plans on putting together a petition that calls for Jennings to resign. During a protest on July 11, 2020, protesters shouting "4 more years? Hell no! Kathleen Jennings has got to go"! Upon meeting with family recently, Jennings didn't even bring a note pad. More to follow. </p>

Their son, brother, uncle , cousin and friend was tragically taken by Police violence. They continue to be victimised by a system that as of to date, have not given Jeremy McDole, loving called Bam Bam by his loved ones, the jutice his tragic and untimely death deserves.</p>

<p>Jeremy McDole a wheelchair bound, unarmed man was shot 16 times by Wilmington DE police in 2015. Jeremy had been robbed and shot the day police murdered him. The person who called 911 didn't tell them that Jeremy needed help but that Jeremy had a gun and shot himself. When 3 of the officers arrived they had the situation under control, however when the 4th officer arrived Joseph Dellose, he shot Jeremy moments after he arrived. This prompted the other officers to fire.</p>

<p>More and more cases are reemerging, as other cases are being created; simultaneously. Bad police officers do not deserve to stay on the force. It takes away from the integrity and trust. It corrupts the whole system and makes it no longer a part of the greater good. There is much more to this case of how a young life was cut down and how police and others are trying to keep this crime under wraps. Unarmed people should not be shot by the police. </p>
<p>In the Use of Force Continuum laws (a guideline for how police are supposed to interact with citizens) it clearly states the procedure. Jeremy did not have a weapon therefore deadly force should of never been used. What Jeremy needed was for the cops to assist him. Not only had he been robbed, he had been shot. Instead they decided to target him as a criminal because of their personal opinions. </p>
<p>In a chat with someone we will not name at this time, the mind of the Wilmington police at the time was "he was a piece of shit". As the average citizen we are not allowed to assault or murder people because we feel adversely about them. Police should be no different, and in actuality their standard should be higher. How a police officer feels personally should not be on the job and if it does show up, consequences of that fact especially when it results in death should have a consequence. If police murder or assault someone they should be fired, charged and serve the time they earned for their crime. The officers involved need to be fired and charged.</p>
<p>We can not allow the police to continue to break the law. The time is now! </p>
<p>There will be more to follow on the murder of Jeremy.</p>
