Deputies pleaded with Joshua Ford to get down and show his hands. “Nothing is worth getting shot over!” one of the deputies yelled. Police attempted to take Ford into custody Dec. 1 when a deputy thought he saw a gun, and Ford, with a sweater covering his hands, acted as if he had a gun. The deputy shot Ford three times. The video shows, as was previously reported, an officer yelling, “He doesn’t have anything,” less than a second before Cpl. Michael Hurney shot Ford. A recently released report on the shooting by the Greene County prosecutor says Hurney was justified in the shooting. The video shows Ford was shot while moving toward a deputy, with the deputy then moving toward Ford. Before Ford was shot, a deputy can be heard on the video saying, “Put your hands up. Nothing is worth it.” Later, with Ford not complying, a deputy yells, “I’m going to shoot you in the face.” Once shots were fired, Ford was taken into custody and an ambulance called. Deputies quickly worked to provide medical attention to Ford, according to both the deputy’s report and the video. The report says deputies requested a helicopter to transport Ford but were declined because of fog. Ford was transported to a local hospital for treatment. He was later pronounced dead at the hospital. #financial_support_div{ display:none; position: absolute; width:300px; height:140px; margin-left: -150px; margin-top: -70px; /*- half of width and height */ top:50%; left:50%; padding: 5px; opacity:0.9; filter:alpha(opacity=90); z-index:1000; background-color:#000; color: white; } .close_box{ background: gray; color:#fff; padding:1px 3px; display:inline; position:absolute; right:1px; margin-right: -13px; margin-top: -13px; border-radius:3px; cursor:pointer; border: 1px #000 solid; } $(document).on("click",".close_box",function(){ $(this).parent().fadeTo(300,0,function(){ $(this).remove(); }); }); Loading the player ...
