State : New York

Officer(s) : Joshua Kemlage, Bryan Sweeney, Trooper Christopher Miller
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police during domestic disturbance call
Disposition : No known charges
Open Records Summary :
Jamie Feith was involved in some sort of domestic dispute for which police were sent. Police claimed that she held a pocket knife and attempted to attack them. Police used a taser and then shot and killed her. She had been a mother of 3.
Police released a body cam video in which she is seen holding something small in her hands that she is apparently trying to open which was identified as a pocket knife. The screenshots from the body cam do not suggest that she is any risk to police. While police attacked her with tasers and multiple deliberately lethal gunshots, her domestic partner is heard, begging police not to kill her who did so despite this. After police had fired several shots into her center mass at close range, he is heard yelling at the police not to kill him also. From the family’s standpoint, this killing should have been entirely avoidable. No officers were charged, and all shooter officers were cleared quickly.

Matthew Reed
Case # :562
Age : 27
Gender : Male
Race : White
Date : 04/21/2022
Location : NB Hwy 25E
City : Bean Station
County : Grainger
State : Tennessee
Agency : Bean Station PD
Officer(s) : Tristan Pettiecord
Cause of Death : Vehicle
Event : Killed by police chase crash
Disposition : No known charges
Open Records Summary :
Matthew Reed, 27, Was chased aggressively by Bean Station Police Department (BSPD) Officer Tristan Pettiecord who observed two motorcycles traveling on Hwy. 25E at 96 mph. The officer claims that he attempted to conduct a traffic stop and the motorcycles refused to stop. The officer escalated the chase to more than 100 mph until the motorcycle crashed, and Matthew Reid died. According to police, this fatal chase was undertaken for the sole reason of failing to stop on command. Police apparently found several joints, totaling a small amount of weed and dramatized this as the only crime they could accuse him of after his death. No officer was ever held accountable for what seems like a senseless death.
