Georgia State Trooper Faces Felony Murder Charges In Traffic Stop Shooting August 17, 20204:33 PM ET Brakkton Booker at NPR headquarters in Washington, D.C., November 7, 2018. (photo by Allison Shelley) BRAKKTON BOOKER Twitter Former state Trooper Jacob Gordon Thompson has been charged with felony murder and aggravated assault in the killing of Julian Edward Roosevelt Lewis, a 60-year-old Black man. Georgia Department of Public Safety via AP/AP A former Georgia state trooper is facing felony murder and aggravated assault charges after he allegedly shot and killed a 60-year-old Black man during a traffic stop this month. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced Friday that Jacob Gordon Thompson, 27, was to be booked in the Screven County Jail in connection with an officer-involved shooting on Aug. 7 that resulted in the death of Julian Edward Roosevelt Lewis. The agency also announced that the investigation is ongoing and that Thompson had been terminated from the Department of Public Safety, Georgia State Patrol. In a separate media release, the Georgia State Patrol said Thompson, who is white and had been a state trooper since 2013, was fired Friday due to his "negligence or inefficiency in performing assigned duties; or commission of a felony." According to the bureau's preliminary findings, Thompson attempted to stop Lewis, who was driving a Nissan Sentra, over a traffic offense. "The car refused to stop and led the trooper on a brief chase down several county roads," the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said. "The trooper initiated a Precision Intervention Technique (PIT) and the car came to a stop in the ditch." At some point Thompson fired a single round, according to the bureau, and Lewis was pronounced dead at the scene. The trooper was not hurt, officials said. Other high-profile killings of Black men in Georgia The charges against Thompson come as calls to end to systemic racism and police brutality against communities of color have led to months-long national protests following the death of George Floyd on Memorial Day. Floyd, a Black man, was killed when a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for several minutes. Georgia has also recently seen other high-profile killings of Black men. Rayshard Brooks was killed after attempting to flee from Atlanta police officers following an encounter in a Wendy's restaurant parking lot in June. Rayshard Brooks' Funeral Held At Church Where Martin Luther King Jr. Preached LIVE UPDATES: PROTESTS FOR RACIAL JUSTICE Rayshard Brooks' Funeral Held At Church Where Martin Luther King Jr. Preached Family Of George Floyd, Whose Death Sparked Protests, Says Final Goodbye AMERICA RECKONS WITH RACIAL INJUSTICE Family Of George Floyd, Whose Death Sparked Protests, Says Final Goodbye One officer has been fired from the Atlanta Police Department and faces 11 charges, including felony murder. Another officer, who remains with the department, is facing lesser charges, including aggravated assault. Three white men, one of them a former law enforcement official, have been charged with murder in the February shooting death of Ahmaud Arbery in Glynn County. Details in the incident report In the Aug. 7 Department of Public Safety incident report, Thompson said he initially observed the vehicle driven by Lewis had a broken taillight. Thompson followed Lewis for a period of time, activating both his emergency lights and eventually his siren. "It became apparent to me that the violator did not intend to stop his vehicle," Thompson said, according to the report. Thompson performed a driving maneuver that led Lewis' vehicle to crash and came to a stop. Thompson pulled his service vehicle beside Lewis' and exited. "Being concerned for my safety, I drew my weapon as I got out of the vehicle," Thompson said in the incident report. It appears that Thompson fired his weapon into Lewis' vehicle and then asked to see his hands. "At some point, I heard the engine on the violator's vehicle revving at a high rate of speed. I activated the light on my weapon and observed the violator with both hands on the steering wheel," Thompson said. He also said he observed Lewis "wrenching the steering wheel in an aggressive back and forth manner towards me and my patrol vehicle." "It appeared to me that the violator was trying to use his vehicle to injure me," he added. "Being in fear for my life and safety, I discharged my weapon once. After I fired, the violator sat back motionless. I recall ordering him to show me his hands, but he remained motionless," the report said. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Lewis was shot in the forehead. Francys Johnson, the Lewis family attorney and former head of the Georgia NAACP, also told the newspaper that the U.S. Justice Department had approved his request to open a civil rights investigation into Lewis' death. "We got lots of messages from people in the community that the habit of ex-trooper Thompson was to racially profile and harass Black and brown people on the highway," Johnson told the Atlanta paper. "This was not shocking to them that this happened." Find both the full incident report and the use of force report here.

Saacha, that's a revelation from God. When they took slaves, there was a door of no return. And against all odds, when you come back to Africa, you prove them wrong. You honor your ancestors who were taken with chain as slaves, you come back as a free man. And you bring back the spirit of your ancestors in you to rest at home.

Wow I love your comment 😍, it's so deep.

When you remember a painful life in your past it becomes the worst and never forget in their life. They always remember but don't know what to do because they said they are from a huge jungle and not everyone wants to go to a jungle. But their spirit always tells them that they belongs to some special place that is where they can be free forever

Too much anger too. But no revenge, WE must learn from it.

Wow your comment is so deep and it makes a lot of sense.

What an observation ✊🏾

How Right you are! I feel something in me pushing me to move back. It´s Almost spiritual. I am so unhappy and unsatified with everything in Europe even though I came here at age 11 and now 34. Growing up I was ok with my Environment in Europe but now I just feel so uncomfortable here. I pray God will help me make the right decisions at the right time.

True. Our ancestors are not asleep. They have not abandoned their sons and daughters like the proverbial man in Chinua Achebe's folklore, who in a fit of madness, tore off his titular amulets in the market square, in full view of everyone, including women and children. 😕

@@insidehildaslife6329 Come home. Take the plunge, I promise u wint regret it. Dont be one of the last to come and see where your ancestors came from. Their souls are waiting for u! What's your hesitation, eeally?! There so many travel groups that u can join and come with. U dint need to move, just come and visit. Why wont u be afraid to go to europe or Caribbean for vacation, but u are hesitant to go to the land where your people actually came from, to experience familiarity. I promise u will fall in love! Like Dave is saying, he's been 3 times! If it's that bad, why does he keep going?! Let's go! U are always come back home, and the police all look like u, and they dont carry guns either, ain't that cool? Even the president looks like u, and theres no reason the celebrate just because they just had their "first BLACK president!", picture it! The presidents have always been BLACK! It's even more amazing when u see, the first people at the airport, and u recognize them, becos some of them look and remind u of your relatives! Welcome home!

You are always welcome. If you need a credible realtor to find you a home, let's talk.

@@ODANANETWORK As an African-American, I say that Africa is our BIRTH RITE and we need to return and INVEST to save the continent and help liberate it from the corrupt leaders the Europeans, and communist opportunist Chinese. We have to unite and save the continent ourselves!!!!

@Deshone Robinson do a DNA test

Africa is already continuing. She "may" have been down but certainly not out : ). Understand that a simple life is what God calls us to live. Quiet, peaceful life - 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12. Too much money has its downsides; greed, Iust etc, you have to be careful. It is better to give than to receive. The love of money may not be the main root of evil, but it is the root of "all kinds/sorts" of evil. Blessings

Exactly I'm moving to Ghana we're waisting our time asking for a seat at the table it's been 400+ years I'm over it ☺️

I encourage you to go to Ghana and the Gambia as they are friendly

Africa is not our inheritance don’t spread that lie.

Thank you

WOW Deep

That's what I always say! It's so sad, that AAs always have to announce themselves when they are in a space! We blacks this, blacks that, we are black and proud, we blacks did this, did that, black person invented this, black power this, NAACP this, etc.etc., it just makes me so sad! As an African/Ghanaian born and raised, we took for granted what AAs had to work so hard for! I never knew I was "BLACK" until I came to the united states! What the hell is black?! We are just people in Africa, living our daily lives, where we belong. I come to the U.S. and on a daily basis my heart breaks for my brothers and sisters, to have to always shout out loud to be noticed, and label themselves BLACK, because they are amongst people who see them that way! This is so deep, and sad!

Year of return was a commemoration of 400yrs of the abolishment of the trans atlantic slave trade, which took place mainly from the coast of Ghana. So the President initiated this and open the doors to the diasporans.

Exactly. They were not slaves they were enslaved. Before they were warriors, farmers, carpenters, blacksmiths, artists, doctors but they were not slaves.

Good point. At the very least enslaved people

Blacks were involved in the slave trading business. I bet next to none African Americans will move back to Africa from racist America.

African people were involved in the slave trade and many nations had slaves as well. Don't sugarcoat it. Conquered tribes became slaves. They were sold and traded like cattle on the Continent. When we go back, we have to forgive what was done to our ancestors. To forgive you must first acknowledge.

Thank YOU, I was going to make same comment. Our ancestors were kidnapped by terrorists!!!!

I think that was a bit of a reach. If you noticed at his parties, majority of the people were Black Americans, and there were no issues, so I think belittling ourselves to try to make a point, needs to stop. I deal with majority Blacks in my investment club from the bottom to the top, and all are respectful polite friendly and helpful. Do we have issues from time to time, yes we do but we work it out in love. And to be honest with you, most of them are on the richer side of the spectrum, but you would never know unless someone pointed it out for you. They act and dress as casual as everyone else...I basically shut down my staffing firm just to be around my own... So we've got to stop repeating this negative narrative, just to lift up others, every group have issues within themselves sometimes, but at the end of the day, I believe most groups can get along...With that being said, it was a great interview, thanks for sharing...

We are happy you liked it.. thank you

Thank you

Stop lying 😂

Absolutely

Yeah but your presidents should initiate like the president of Ghana did.

@@yemelejosias5615 That's the bottomline. Ghana has taken the lead on this matter. Other African countries can and should follow in kind.

Thank you!

Look what you done... Now I'm hungry and it's all ya fault 😋😋😋😋😅😅

That's true. I think he used it for context to temporally refer to the enslaved ancestors. The current Diaspora are the descendants of the ancestors, so they would be aptly referred to as the African Diaspora and contrasted with Africans in the Diaspora who are just recent immigrants to distant lands.

Yea ....she is talented lady

people are going to other African countries as well, but people are mainly choosing Ghana because their government is taking measures to welcome people from the diaspora.

Ghana invited us

Ghana is welcoming. Other nations should be as well. As a Nigerian in diaspora, I’d rather people go to Ghana for now. The west African region was key in the expulsion of black people from Africa and Ghana in the country welcoming people back. I love kenya. But I don’t know Kenya’s story in the slave trade.

Thank you so much. Will take a look

The only mandatory shot going to Ghana is the Yellow fever shot.

You can get shot on arrival for 20 dollars at the airport

Yes, I believe everyone has to come but this particular interview was about him talking to his people in America and how they've been brainwashed negatively about the continent. No pun intended to rest of the black people all over.. you know what i mean.?

Great Job my sister god bless you to

A lot of Caribbeans are in Ghana and they are doing good.

Charmaine Matthews that’s why they say the diaspora meaning black ppl all over the world and the Caribbean everyone is inclined we can go whenever we want the door is wide open.

It is everyone. Especially those in the Diaspora.

Miami cop arrested and charged after tasing Black woman while his knee was on her neck Safiya Satchell was reportedly pregnant at the time of the incident. By Tamantha Gunn Jun 26, 2020, 3:30pm EDT Share this story Share this on Facebook Share this on Twitter Miami garden police Getty Images A fired Miami cop has been arrested and charged after he was seen on video tasing Safiya Satchell multiple times while his knee was on her neck. Former officer Jordy Yanes Martel was fired last week for the incident, which took place back in January. On Thursday (June 25), he was arrested and charged on two counts of official misconduct and four counts of battery by Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) agents. “If you’re an officer that has broken policy or acted under color of law with a belief that Black Lives don’t Matter, times are a changin’,” lawyer Jonathan Jordan said. “My client deserves to witness justice be served in this prosecution against this former officer where so many others in her position have not been as fortunate.”

He changed as a Muslim after Mecca. He changed as a Black man after Africa. You can have more than one experience and benefit from each one of it. If you read the Autobiography, you'll learn that he learned from both experiences

My sister Africa especially Ghana is one of the most peaceful country in the world and Africa. You can get your plane tickets and come. Get your self a hotel for only one week and you will get everything as easy. You will meet people who will be ready to assist you know everything you want to know. By a week you will get all the necessary information that can get you out freely. Ghana is a free country especially when you are black you will always fill free and nothing will even identify you as a American. Because you speak the same dialect
