There is an interesting case developing in the Dover Police Department where a video has been released that has resulted in the indictment of Officer Tom Webster for his actions during an arrest on August 24, 2013. The suspect appears to be obeying his commands. What is interesting is that a prior grand jury declined to indict Webster, but prosecutors then tried again with another grand jury and secured an indictment.
Previously, a grand jury declined to issue an indictment and the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware found that there was no civil rights violation. In June 2014, Webster returned to full duty with the Dover Police Department and was reassigned to the patrol division. However, on May 4, 2015, it was disclosed that the Delaware Attorney General’s office took this case before a second grand jury and secured an indictment against Webster on the charge of Assault 2nd degree. In response, the Dover Police Department put Webster on leave without pay.
It is fascinating to see the different results in the two grand juries. You be the judge.

trooperyork,
Sometimes even two links won’t work. Just try re-posting in pieces — that usually does the trick. Can’t remember the words that are problematic — there are seven or eight of them….
No need to apologize. We all make mistakes. I omitted a word in an earlier post. Busy people. It happens.
And last, but not least, I do lament these deaths — these murders.
I see that I was wrong so I apologize for my mistake.
I also apologize for misspelling apologize.
Here is the third person now under arrest for capital murder:
