Brought to us from Barbara Lowe

This event occurred on  7/31/2009

This is a dash cam video of a shooting on the
Centennial Bridge over the Mississippi River in
the Quad Cities.  The uniformed officer is from
Davenport, IA and is also a guard in the
Davenport office. 

His sound is off until he exits his vehicle and turns his mic on.

The bad guy had just knocked out a person with
one punch about 15-20 minutes prior to this
incident at a homeless shelter/soup kitchen.  
A nun at the shelter said that the bad guy was
going to kill someone.  The bad guy weighed in
at around 280 and was about 6'06".

Only one probe from the Taser hit the bad guy.  
You can see he had an initial reaction to the
Taser but quickly fought through it and was
on the officer.

Think about the "what ifs" and prepare yourself for them.

 Thankfully, an off-duty East Moline, IL officer
was there to assist and was carrying.

This shooting happened in the Quad Cities
about a week and a half ago on the Centennial
Bridge between Davenport, Iowa and Rock
Island, IL. 
The Officer involved is a Davenport Police
Officer, and the other guy who arrived during
the conflict is an off duty East Moline Police
Officer who just happened to be driving in the
area. The suspect wound up dying.
