Meet Officer Mader: Fired For Trying To Do The Right Thing

Click here for more information:
acluwv.org/happens-dont-shoot-...
Early in the morning of May 6, 2016, Weirton Police Officer Stephen Mader responded to a domestic dispute call. When he arrived on the scene, he encountered R.J. Williams, a young African American man. When Officer Mader asked Mr. Williams to show his hands, Mr. Williams revealed that he was holding a gun. As Mr. Williams began waiving his gun around, Officer Mader ordered him to drop his weapon. Mr. Williams ignored Officer Mader’s demand and repeatedly responded, “Just shoot me.”
Officer Mader did not “just shoot” R.J. Williams. He analyzed the full situation. He did not just view Mr. Williams as an African American man. He didn’t even view him solely as a man with a gun. And given Mr. Williams’ anguished demeanor, his failure to aim his gun or focus any sort of aggression on others, and his plea to be shot, Officer Mader concluded that Mr. Williams was not a threat. He was attempting to commit suicide by cop.
In this tense moment, Officer Mader did exactly what we want our police officers to do. He calmed his voice and attempted to deescalate the situation. He attempted to save R.J. Williams’ life. Officer Mader looked Mr. Williams in the eye and said, “I’m not going to shoot you brother.”
In the meantime, Mr. Williams’ former girlfriend called 911 and reported that Mr. Williams had an unloaded gun and was suicidal. The 911 dispatcher relayed only that Mr. Williams had a gun. While Officer Mader was attempting to deescalate, two other officers arrived on the scene. At that point, Mr. Williams began to raise his gun. One of the newly-arrived officers shot and killed Mr. Williams.
When the officers approached Mr. Williams, they discovered that his gun was unloaded. Officer Mader’s deduction had turned out to be correct-R.J. Williams had not been a danger to anyone other than himself.
A young African American man was tragically killed by law enforcement officers. A father, a brother, a son is dead. And we, as a society, have failed him like we have so many others. Sadly, this is a story that we have heard far too often in this country. But what makes this story different is that a few weeks after Mr. Williams’ death, the Weirton Police Department fired Officer Mader for not shooting and killing R.J. Williams.
A police officer is not constitutionally entitled to use deadly force unless he or she reasonably believes the target poses an immediate threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others. Officer Mader had determined just the opposite, that R.J. Williams was no threat to the safety of others. As such, Officer Mader was not constitutionally permitted to shoot Mr. Williams. Essentially, Officer Mader was fired for respecting R.J. Williams’ constitutional rights by not using deadly force.
Firing Stephen Mader for not killing R.J. Williams sends a chilling message to every law enforcement officer on the Weirton police force and across the country; they are to err on the side of killing citizens. And what message does firing Stephen Mader send to the community at large? What value does it assign to the life of R.J. Williams?
Today, along with the Law Office of Timothy P. O’Brien, we filed a lawsuit on behalf of Stephen Mader in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia against the City of Weirton. We simply cannot believe that our state’s public policy could permit a police officer to be terminated for not killing someone he reasonably concluded was no threat. After Mr. Mader spoke to the media about his termination, the City then engaged in a pattern of retaliation designed to destroy his reputation. Our lawsuit argues that in terminating Mr. Mader and its actions thereafter, the City violated his rights under the United States and West Virginia Constitutions.
We believe this lawsuit highlights the need for reforms at so many police departments around the state. We will continue to advocate for increased de-escalation training, implicit bias training and suicide prevention training for WV law enforcement officers. We will redouble our efforts to increase police transparency and improve community responsiveness and oversight of law enforcement activities.
We will not forget the tragic death of R.J. Williams. We must attempt to honor his legacy by fixing a broken culture in policing.

[@bigtony2559]

Issac Bueno there was context to the call, when dispatch relays a call they give an in depth description of the situation, what the cop sall was a man being ordered to drop his weapon and failed to comply, sense he was non compliantly was shot, yes he was suicidal but there was no way they could of known what that man would have done with the gun

[@vivihari]

There are many other ways to de_escalate the situation. If non works y kill the man there is always a choice to shoot the person on the leg/shoulder/ armed hand ... But that's not preferred , And There lies the problem. One need to understand the difference between "needing" and "wanting". Here the dept. "Wants" the cops to shoot down the armed man Rather than "disarming" . Guns can be used not just for killing it can be used for intimidation if that doesn't work it can be used for hurting, disarming .killing should always be the last "choice". And by the looks of it there were many other and they chose to kill him . If any are saying killing was only option because he was armed and waving the gun(not pointing). I say sry for u A cop should away access the situation first before taking action .the first cop at the scene did exactly that but the others took the different choice . In Most case there are few types of cop behavior 1. thrive to live in the excitement and would shoot or use force rather than trying make peaceful solution. 2. Those who get frantic and rash use of Force at the first suspicion of trouble saying they were scared for their life(that's cowardliness not bravery ). 3. There are few who doesn't know shit they are doing and when one of them shoots a suspect to disarm him/ her , and they shoot along with their partners after hearing the first shot it's like competition who hits the target first . 4.then there are those who are like this officer trying to take the right decision and actions. And use force only when necessary if no other choice.that too to in an "appropriate manner". A cop should know not just to shoot.but to shoot "when, Where (body parts....)and how(coordinated)" but first of all if he should use force or not.Using force is not always "necessary ". " Presence of mind" is what most needed. If any are saying they had to shoot because the suspect had a weapon and there is a "probability" that the cops life is in danger. U R WRONG risking their life is part of job description.- I'm not saying so the cops have to die but what I'm saying is "no one has to". If cops with above first 3 behaviors are allowed to continue things are only gonna get worse.

piggywar swamp no cop is talking a criminal into doing hard time. Period. Talking about it will ONLY allow the criminal to escape after shooting the officer.

You dont bring a knife to a gun fight and you sure as hell aint killin em with words. If that policy should ever be enforced, there will be less cops around. And while some say “ fine with me “ yall forfeit/ compromise your safety. The fact that police respond to situations like this while you hide for safety is pretty damn righteous if you ask me. If the criminal had a gun to your loved ones head and blew his/her brains out cause the cop failed in his attempts to talk, who can you blame? We dont need more cops like this guy. Sorry.

The cop's gift is maybe being a counselor, mentor or maybe a suicide prevention advocate. He did the right thing yes, but it could have quickly cost him his life at the same time. Protocol in police training is everything. It is not based on emotions feelings etc. No room for hesitation. It is based on the situation in front of you. Also, by this cop not shooting the suspect, the way the police department look at it is that he could have cost another officer their lives by not acting. So regardless if we agree or disagree with what this cop did, training protocol tells you that if the suspect has a gun and goes to grab it you must shoot.

[@HeathJ.Ledger]

Razor's Edge I get protocol. It’s there for a reason. But why fire him? That’s the part where you kinda start wondering. I don’t have all the facts but when I say the world is upside down, I mean that, unfortunately there’s more crime in this world which good cops are doing everything to protect and get those idiots arrested and all that’s great and all, but there’s also cops doing dumb shit like the crispy cream donut guy from Florida or the well known cases of police brutality that just adds up to cases like this that you get fired for trying to save a life.

Darby Bible Translation Jehovah trieth the righteous one; but the wicked, and him that loveth violence, his soul hateth. World English Bible Yahweh examines the righteous, but the wicked and him who loves violence his soul hates.

[@TouchnotDAnointingof136DZion]

@Falwen Valendur The Lord trieth the righteous - That is, he "proves" them, searches them, tests the reality of their piety. His dealings with them are such as to test the genuineness of their religion, and are designed to show their sincerity and the real power of their religious principles. It is not for the purpose of destroying them, or punishing them, that he deals with them as he does, but it is to show the reality of their attachment to him. This language seems here to be used to show the feeling of the persecuted and afflicted author of the psalm. He understood the reason why these calamities were suffered to come upon him - to wit, as a trial of his faith; and therefore it was his duty to remain and bear these troubles, and not to attempt to escape from them by flight. He says, therefore, that these troubles in the case of the righteous were in strong contrast with the purpose of the divine dealings toward the wicked, on whom God would "rain" snares, fire, and brimstone. In their case his judgments were for the purpose of punishing and destroying; in the case of the righteous it was to "try" them, or to test the reality of their religion. But the wicked - The wicked in general. All the wicked. And him that loveth violence - Referring particularly here to those who were engaged in persecuting him who was the author of this psalm. They were contemplating acts of violence toward him Psalm 11:2; he says that all such persons were the objects of the divine displeasure, and would be appropriately punished.

Psalm 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; Jeremiah 17:10 "I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds. 1 Chronicles 29:17 "Since I know, O my God, that You try the heart and delight in uprightness, I, in the integrity of my heart, have willingly offered all these things; so now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here, make their offerings willingly to You.
