Tragedy in Mesa: Lawsuit Filed Against Police Department for Unarmed Man's Death

The Mesa Police Department is facing a lawsuit for the mass firing that resulted in the death of an unarmed man. Sniper Shawn Freeman, shot Shawn Gagne in the face before the rest of the Mesa SWAT team opened fire, resulting in the man's death.

Mesa Police Department Under Scrutiny: Officer Shawn Freeman's Troubling Behavior

Mesa Police Officer Shawn Freeman has a troubling record of officer-involved shootings, violent attacks, and faces multiple lawsuits for Civil Rights violations. His history of aggressive behavior extends to both on-duty and off-duty incidents.

The Mesa Police Department, along with Chief Ken Cost, must be held responsible for the brutality and misconduct displayed by their officers in Mesa, Arizona.

Exposing the Discrepancies: The City of Mesa's Version vs. the Reality of Mr. Gagne's Shooting

The City of Mesa's statement regarding the shooting was misleading. Officer Freeman shot Mr. Gagne in the face through a window. Gagne, after informing the negotiator of being shot in the face, followed instructions to approach the front door unarmed with his hands raised. As Mr. Gagne descended the stairs as directed, he was mercilessly shot from multiple directions, causing him to fall down the stairs while repeatedly declaring his surrender. The negotiator remained on the line during this tragic event.

Contrary to official reports indicating medical treatment was rendered, gas was deployed and Mr. Gagne was tazed before being handcuffed while unresponsive and without vital signs for around 20 minutes before any medical treatment was attempted.

The City of Mesa Police Department's version of events does not align with the reality of what happened to Mr. Gagne. Shawn Freeman ignoring the status of negotiations shooting Gagne in the face and the subsequent lack of proper aid are only some of the troubling aspects of this incident. The use of gas and tasers before rendering aid is concerning, especially since Mr. Gagne was motionless and unresponsive. The discrepancies between the official statements and the actual sequence of events highlight the need for a thorough investigation into the actions of the officers involved.

Maricopa County District Attorney Rachel Mitchell, Mesa Mayor John Giles, and Mesa Police Chief Ken Cost must put an end to their support of police misconduct and ensure that officers are held accountable under the law just like any other individual. The existence of a double standard in this regard is unjust and should not be accepted.

Discover the truth behind the shocking allegations of criminal conduct against Mesa Police Officer Shawn Freeman.

Shawn Freeman, a Mesa SWAT Operator, has allegedly violated a multitude of Department policies and the Mesa Police Department's Code of Conduct. He is currently facing accusations of a wide array of criminal acts, including Domestic Violence, Disturbing the Peace, Assault, Domestic Battery, Disorderly Conduct, Fraud, Insurance Fraud, Criminal Damage, Threatening & Intimidating, Writing False Police Reports, Perjury, Child Abuse, Endangerment, Illegal discharge of a firearm, False Reporting, Presenting False Statements on Affidavits for Warrants, Theft, Attempted Murder, Murder, Official Misconduct, Violation of Oath by Public Officer, Furnishing Alcohol to a Minor, and many other serious offenses. It is evident that Shawn Freeman does not show respect for or comply with the law while on or off duty.

The allegations of Domestic Violence, Child Abuse, and Endangerment are particularly troubling, as they suggest a pattern of behavior that is not only criminal but also deeply harmful to vulnerable members of society. Furthermore, the accusations of Official Misconduct and violation of oath strike at the very heart of the principles that law enforcement officers are sworn to uphold. The public has a right to expect integrity and ethical conduct from those who are tasked with protecting and serving their communities, and any breach of that trust must be met with the full force of the law.

The fact that Officer Freeman is able to abuse his power and authority to avoid facing consequences for his criminal behavior highlights a serious issue within the Mesa Police Department. It raises concerns about the integrity and accountability of Arizona law enforcement officers, as well as the need for greater oversight and transparency in handling cases involving Mesa Police misconduct.

Speak up against injustice and advocate for change by reaching out to Mesa Police Chief Ken Cost, Maricopa County District Attorney Rachel Mitchel, and Mesa Mayor John Giles. If you have knowledge of any instances of police misconduct, brutality, or criminal activity by law enforcement in our community, don't stay silent.
