be careful where you go and watch your surroundings closely or you may end up like this apparent innocent as a victim of being law enforced;
Waterloo, IA — In April of 2015, Jovan Darnell Webb was out with friends celebrating the fact that he had just passed his commercial driver’s license test. What was a night of celebration and happiness, however, quickly turned into a horror story when police in civilian clothes showed up.
Now, because the officers were never held accountable for their actions, the taxpayers of Waterloo are being held to the fire for $400,000 in an excessive force lawsuit.
According to police, that night, an altercation at the New World club broke out, which Webb was not a part of, so he decided to leave. When police responded to the scene, the altercation was already over.
Webb, who had broken no law, harmed no one, and who was merely trying to avoid being caught up in a mess that he had nothing to do with, got in his car to go home. But thanks to the Waterloo police, Webb would not make it home that night.
As he attempted to pull out of the parking lot, a man dressed in plainclothes knocked on his driver’s side window with a black object, according to the lawsuit. Webb then pulled out to get away from the man who he had no idea was a cop.
The police claim that Webb attempted to run over an officer, so they were forced to shoot him. But surveillance video from two cameras at the New World club does not show this.
What the video from the two cameras does show, however, is a Waterloo cop in civilian clothes chasing after Webb while firing multiple shots into the car, in a crowded parking lot..........read and watch more.......
