Event : Killed by police chase crash

OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

St. Louis police chased a teenager at high speed into a crash with a minivan, killing 5 of 7 family members. Some controversy ensued because the vehicle had been driving 82 mph when police placed spike strips and 29 seconds after hitting the spike strips, the teenager lost control over the allegedly stolen Jeep and crashed. The dead include mom Angelique Simmons, her daughter Rhonda Simmons, two uncles Luther Simmons, and 11-year-old niece Takara Thompson. Two other children were critically hurt in the police chase crash also.
In response to this crash, the St. Louis city and county chapters of the NAACP want to talk with local police chiefs. The NAACP says data collected on police pursuits makes a strong case for opting not to pursue vehicles. They’re calling it a “public safety emergency.”

Race : White

Date : 04/29/2022

Location : 50 North Cross Road

City : Hyde Park

County : Dutchess

State : New York

Agency : Hyde Park PD

Officer(s) : Joshua Kemlage, Bryan Sweeney, Trooper Christopher Miller

Cause of Death : Gunshot

Event : Killed by police during domestic disturbance call

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.
