Atlanta, GA — An unnamed DeKalb County police officer is on paid administrative leave after he shot and killed a mentally ill naked man Monday afternoon.

Alternate text if image doesn't load

DeKalb County Police Chief Cedric Alexander said at a news briefing that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is taking over the investigation after it appeared the man, identified as Anthony Hill, 27, was unarmed.

Hill’s girlfriend took to twitter to protest the killing of her boyfriend.

The police say they received reports of a mentally ill man acting strangely in their apartment complex.

According to his posts on Social Media, Hill was bipolar.

Lanta @AntHeezie

I am thankful to be something other than normal.

I don't fight my circumstance,

I embrace it.

I love myself.

Always

“The caller reported a male acting deranged, knocking on doors, crawling around on the ground naked,” Alexander said.

“The caller reported the man had taken off all his clothes and was just running around throughout the entire complex,” Alexander added.

When the officer showed up, he said the naked, unarmed man charged him, so he had to kill him.

“When the male saw the officer he charged, running at the officer,” the police chief said. “The officer told him to stop while stepping back at which point he drew his weapon and fired two shots.”

However, witnesses tell a different story. They say the man never charged the officer.

A witness told WSB-TV that Hill was hanging from a balcony, naked, before the shooting.

“He tells me, ‘I’m OK, I’m OK.’ That’s what he was saying,” the witness said, according to the news station. “He was acting crazy but he was calm like he didn’t know where he was. He was like kind of lost in his face.”

Despite an extensive search, no weapon was found at the scene.

“At this point this case has been turned over to the Georgia Bureau of Investigations for an independent outside investigation,” Alexander said in an attempt to emphasize the notion of an “external” investigation.

Henry Raco, a witness on the scene, tells CBS 46, “Now you are scared to call police if you see anything because you don’t know what police are going to do. They have license to kill people for no reason and that is scary.”

This man was naked. It was obvious that he had no weapons on his person, yet the first thing this police officer does is resort to deadly force.

Yesterday, prior to being killed, Hill made an inspirational post on his facebook page. It read, “Where I once saw death I only see life.”

Hill was also well aware of the epidemic of police killings in the US.

Post by Anthony Hill.

Hill even showed his open-mindedness on the issue of police violence.

So did the honest citizens of Ferguson. lol

I won't make excuses for the officer. If the outside LE agency investigating this finds the shooting justified, then I'll support the find. If they feel the officer used excessive force... then charge and terminate him.

All I'll say is this, as a civilian (and that's what I am), if this large black naked man was running at me screaming like Emily Rose... I'd put two in the chest and one in the head. I can easily articulate that I reasonsbly believed that he could over power me, take my gun and kill me. So I ended that threat.

I go nowhere unarmed.

So if you got a call about such a man needing help, you'd purposely go to the scene with a weapon, knowing full well that such a man might attempt to take your gun and shoot you with it, and thereby give you a claim to fear for your life and provide you with the incentive to shoot him first instead?

We hear about killings by cops who so often claim "I was in fear for my life" when they respond to a call about a person who is mentally unstable or contemplating suicide.

If cops are truly in fear for their lives in such situations, they simply should not respond to such calls, or at the very least, stay safely locked in their police cars when they do, and let unarmed people deal with such subjects in a reasonable and safe manner.

The courts have already ruled that cops are under no legal obligation to respond to any emergency call whatsoever, so no cop can be legally culpable if he refuses to respond to a call out of fear for his life.

That's a silly question. Uniformed officers wear a uniform... by policy they must be in uniform. Part of that uniform is their gun. So, yes, I "purposely go to the scene with a weapon".

You've been reading Deckards "a fully armed uniform thug" articles too much.

If anyone purposely creates a situation where they reasonably knew it would result in the loss of someone's life, it would be called premeditated murder.

That is why it's becoming apparent that calling 911 to deal with anyone who is suicidal or mentally unstable is the wrong thing to do. That is, if one actually cares about the person in question. I suppose if you wanted to off your annoying relative who has anger issues, calling the cops and claiming he's suicidal would be one way to do it. We've heard about suicide-by-cop. How about murder-by-cop?

Bringing a firearm in close proximity of an unarmed, unstable person is irresponsible, if one is there to supposedly help. Cops should stay away in such situations.

1) proving premeditation, aka INTENT, is the hardest part of any criminal case to prove. What's in the mind of anyone is speculative, at best. Forming the opinion that officers, in general, respond to calls to kill people is a byproduct of the fear monger garbage that Deckard indoctrinates you with. Look, you get inundated with slanted articles about all the times an officer shoots someone... and you never hear about the MILLIONS of times officers take a mentally ill or drug addled person into custody WITHOUT INCIDENT.

2) More drama... see above.

3) if you are suggesting that officers lock their guns up in the patrol car and go get them on a call when things get out of hand... then I suggest you shouldn't own a firearm... and as soon as someone is breaking in your house, sneak out the back door and buy one. Walmart is open 24/7.

Police are constitutionally protected citizens too. You deserve to carry a gun 24/7 for protection... SO DO THEY.

I'm not about to believe that the any time that police misconduct occurs, it always gets broadcast on the local news, just as I would never believe that any time a crime occurs, the perpetrators get arrested. To the contrary, there are reports and lawsuits against cops that have every indication of a preexisting and rampant systemic corruption and misconduct. The lawsuits in these cases are most often the exceptions, not the rule.

You cannot ignore or deny the fact that people usually enter professions that has some appeal to them, and the police profession appeals to people who enjoy being an "authority" and throwing their weight around, and even those getting a kick out of being violent. That's not to say it doesn't appeal to good people for other legit reasons, but any idiot who gets a rush out of dominating the life of another will consider being a cop. And many do. And just because such an egotist puts on a police uniform does not convert him into an honest public servant deserving every last benefit of doubt you routinely give here to every cop that is involved in an altercation.

No disrespect intended, but I can tell by your language, phrases and opinions that trying to have any kind of fruitful conversation with you regarding any part of LE procedures... would be like trying to discuss Area 51 with a Paranoid schizophrenic.

But thanks for your interest.

I guess I'll just affirm that I am not slanted in favor of police, such that every article that casts them in a poor light is auto-tagged as yellow journalism, but every article that casts arrested citizen suspects in a poor light is automatically assumed to be good reporting.

That's exactly the problem, your inability to decipher the yellow journalism from the non yellow. If you must resort to sorting the good info from the bad as you've described above, then you will remain fruitless to debate with... and stay close minded towards LE.

I can give you a hint. Watch your article sources. For many weak minds, if you read Mein Kampf enough times, you'll wanna join the Klan.

Good luck.

I generally could spot your type within the first 30 seconds, after rolling up to a call. It's a gift you develop after dealing with the amount of people I've dealt with. lol
