An Unarmed Disabled Man Was Shot By North Carolina Police While Complying With Their Orders

Stunning footage displayed the moment a disabled guy was shot by the North Carolina SWAT team despite following their demands.

Jason Harley Kloepfer, 41, was shot several times by Cherokee County police after officers received a call about gunfire in the area on December 12 at about 11 pm.

Police suspected Jason Kloepfer was the apparent sharpshooter and was holding a hostage.

Jason Kloepfer can be seen in surveillance footage from inside the trailer opening the door with his wife Alison Mahler shortly behind him as both of their hands were raised.

Moments later, officers fired several rounds at Kloepfer as he collapsed to the floor. He was transported to the hospital in critical but stable condition.

Police said Kloepfer had engaged in a verbal argument with police prior to opening the door and demanded he confronted them upon being shot.

Mahler was seen in the video yanking Kloepfer out of the gunfire path as he started to continually scream that he’d been shot.

Mahler yelled at the officers while helping Kloepfer. Screaming that he’d been hit and what the hell did they do to him.

Police continued to shout from beyond the trailer ordering the two to come out.

Mahler obeyed while keeping her hands up as Klopfer dragged himself towards the door, but she slightly hesitated to leave her husband unattended before leaving his side and yelled at the officers while leaving that her husband couldn’t because he’d been hit.

As officers approached the trailer Kloepfer could be heard faintly screaming that he didn’t have a firearm.

Kloepfer was then hauled out by the arm for treatment.

He was charged with Communicating Threats and Resisting, obstructing and delaying.

The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office wasn’t immediately available for comment.

Last week, Kloepfer shared his healing journey on social media along with footage of the happening.

He seemed to have suffered gunshot injuries to the torso and arm.

Kloepfer wrote that he was physically doing better, but that mentally he and Ali weren’t so good on this one, and that they were out of state for fear for their lives since they got out of the hospital.

The details of the incident and the aftermath remain murky as Kloepfer insisted he couldn’t share details about the shooting, but he insisted he was innocent and called the charges ‘completely wrong’.

People support the police, but if they don’t hold themselves responsible when they make blunders, then ultimately they will lose public support.

Not only should these charges be dropped, but the officers concerned should be held responsible, and an investigation should be met and they should be sacked or imprisoned for assault with a lethal weapon. The law has to apply to everyone, or else it falls apart.

Monetary compensation should go to the sufferers. How much remuneration would have to be left to the courts and their attorneys, but whatever they decide, it will never be enough because this guy will need medical care and that doesn’t come cheap.

The issue is that these police investigated themselves and decided that no offence had been committed – these are the police that opened fire and have been reinstated so that they can do it to somebody else, only next time it might be more catastrophic, and it seems that even when the boys in blue are wrong, they still charge you for something.

This couple got arrested for communicating threats and resisting, obstructing and delaying. What made-up BS charges are these? And it’s fortunate that it was all captured on video footage because this is going to hopefully cost the city big bucks, and thankfully he wasn’t killed!
