A year after a Hoover, Alabama, police officer killed Emantic 'E.J.' Bradford Jr. at a mall on Thanksgiving, Bradford's family is suing the yet-to-be-named police officer for wrongful death
A year after a Hoover, Alabama, police officer killed Emantic"E.J." Bradford Jr. at a mall on Thanksgiving, Bradford's family is suing the yet-to-be-named police officer for wrongful death.
Bradford's mother, April Pipkins, filed the lawsuit against the unnamed policeman and the city of Hoover Friday, alleging that the officer did not follow his training, violated department policy by not turning on his body-worn camera, failed to issue verbal commands before opening fire and did not verify whether Bradford posed a threat before killing him.
Man killed by police was shot from behind 01:14"The many allegations made against the city of Hoover in the days and weeks following the incident are false. After all evidence is presented, no wrongdoing by the city or any of our officers will be shown," the statement said.
Father of man mistaken for shooter speaks out 01:59One said she saw Bradford take an"aggressive stance" and heard an officer tell him"literally three times" to drop his gun, while another witness said she heard the officer say,"Drop your weapon, drop your weapon sir, put your weapon on the ground."The officer, however, didn't relay this information in two statements, one taken minutes after the shooting, the second a week later, the report said.
Witnesses describe shooting at Alabama mall 01:03Bradford family attorney Ben Crump has said the officer shot Bradford because he was black --"In this case, it looks very much like the officer's reasoning was 'black man plus gun equals shoot'" -- while the ACLU has suggested race was a factor in Marshall's investigation.
