East Dublin, GA — Acting on a bogus tip about methamphetamine from a car thief, the Laurens County Sheriff’s office obtained a search warrant for the home of devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, David Hooks.
An hour after the judge signed the warrant police raided Hooks’ house and took the life of this innocent grandfather.
An attorney representing David Hooks’ widow says that the September 24, shooting did not go down as law enforcement authorities stated in initial news releases, and the “true facts of this tragedy are in stark contrast” to official accounts.
At approximately 11:00 pm on September 24, Laurens County Sheriff’s deputies bargedunannounced into the home of Hooks. The sheriff’s office claims Hooks was shot after he got out a firearm and started showing aggression. Hooks was met with 17 shots fromSWATofficers.
Since the Free Thought Project initially reported on this killing by police in October, recent revelations show that not only were no shots fired, but the shotgun wasn’t even loaded. Even if the shotgun would have been loaded and Hooks would have shot at the officers, he had every right, as he was protecting his wife and home from, who he perceived to beunannounced intruders, who obviously meant him harm.
Police, adamant on trying to justify their breaking and entering and subsequent murder, searched the home for 44 straight hours and didn’t find one single shred of contraband.
Mitchell Shook is the attorney for the family and he is asking for the FBI to investigate, citing that the raid was illegal.
According to WMAZ, the family’s attorney says Hooks had four wounds, two of which he says are very problematic. Shook says that’s according to the Laurens County EMS records. He says the same information is found in the medical records from Fairview Park Hospital.
“One was to the side of the head, the other, was in his back, the back of his left shoulder, based on the evidence we see, we believe that David Hooks was face down on the ground when he received those last two shots,” says Shook.
Teresa Hooks who is still experiencing a nightmare inflicted upon her by those sworn to protect and serve, recalls that horrid night.
She says, “Between 10:30 and 11, I turned the light off upstairs. I heard a car coming up the driveway really fast, and I looked up the upstairs window. I saw a black vehicle with no lights. I saw 6 to 8 men, coming around the side of my house, and I panicked. I came running downstairs, yelling for David to wake up. He was in the bedroom asleep, had been for about an hour and a half. When I got downstairs to the bottom of the stairs, he opened the door and he had a gun in his hand, and he said, ‘Who is it?,’ and I said I didn’t know. He stepped back into the bedroom like he was going to grab his pants, but before he could do that, the door was busted down. He came around me, in the hall, into the den, and I was gonna come behind him, but before I could step into the den the shots were fired, and it was over.”
She goes on to say, “Initially, I thought that I was going to die, I thought I was going to be shot, I thought a gang had broke in, and up until I heard the radios the dispatch radios, I had no idea.”
Teresa Hooks was then handcuffed and detained in her front yard while her husband lay bleeding out inside, only to watch his lifeless corpse be carried out on a stretcher hours later.
David Hooks was a successful businessman who owned two thriving businesses. Hisconstruction company worked on military bases, including Hunter Army Airfield and Fort Stewart.
As such, he was vetted and underwent background checks by state and federal authorities including the Department of Homeland Security and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. Based on those background checks, he was granted a security clearance which allowed him to work on these military bases. He was not a drug user or distributor.
This raid was little more than state sanctioned murder carried out in the name of the government’s immoral and negligent war on drugs. What’s more is the fact that this murder was initiated because of overzealous and criminally incompetent police officers acting on information obtained from a car thief.
Nothing will bring back this innocent husband, father, and grandfather. However, spreading an awareness to the police state could help to prevent further tragedy. It’s high time Americans end their silence in the face of injustice. It’s time Americans demand peace be brought to this war on drugs.
Share this article with your family and friends to show them the effects of hundreds of billions of their tax dollars being used to create a murderous standing army to “protect” Americans from the dangers of personal choice.
Where the hell is Al and Jesse when they are needed.
If the raid was illegal then so was the force. Cops can only use force, lethal or otherwise, in the enforcement of law. So when these thugs broke into that home they were criminals. Not cops. They should all be charged accordingly, and convicted of murder, breaking and entering, and kidnapping, for detaining the family. Then give them each a jar of vaseline and send them to prison in the general population…..
Why do “they” get the benefit of Vaseline?
The “Bogus” tip….Sounds like a family enemy lying their ass off……SOB needs to prosecuted along with the “shooter”
The biggest drug dealers on the planet are the corporate fake gv and we all know it.
In Texas, they break into any home they want and say that they got a 911 call, which they never did to go into any home they want.
Time for the citizens to start doing the same to all the cops because tney are SS Nazis. Maybe then they would stop and think…
Since these criminals in uniform will do harm to you and your children, remember, they also have spouses and children that will left behind in their home. Imagine if the peaceful citizens of your community visits them and asks if they would be willing to stand in the front lines with them; after peacefully explaining their fathers treasonous actions are acting as criminals. Do you think the fathers will harm their very own loved ones and finally put down their weapons, once they see their loved ones in front of them?
They also have parents, brothers, sisters, etc, so knowing families live in your neighborhood is vital to get these Treasonous Criminals In Uniform to Stop their Criminal Actions, and Commiting TREASON against it very own Community and citizens. Talk about Modern Day Extreme SS Nazi Criminal Henchmen in Uniform and them taking the American Flag and using it as their own PERSONAL TOILET PAPER!
Do these forces really think they will be going home to their peaceful home after they do harm to their very neighbors/community? Imagine if they take the life of a fellow neighbor. Do they really thing that their community will allow them and their family to live in their home peacefully, after they harmed children and citizens? Don’t they understand that their family will be on the receiving end of whatever forces they given to their fellow community members? Do they really think they and their families will live a more “Peaceful” life after they taken up arms against its very neighbors they were sworn to protect? How can their community be safer after they are the REAL criminal gang doing harm to its community?
The more criminal uniform officers your community can keep from the martial law scene and their Police Dept. will weaken the DC powers over your community. The Feds gave military grade weapons to each small city because these are the VERY FORCES that DC needs to keep their power over the people. If these police officers put their weapons down, all communities will be free from the corrupt DC powers, and power given back to its very people.
If the Treasonsous Criminal gang is already in force against your community; they do wear ONLY chest protection…but…Imagine if you were bowling with a heavy ball. How many standing Leg Pins would you knock down in one roll? 1 Strike roll knocks down 10 different standing pins = standing leg pins not mobile/walkable = weakening the legs in the game you are playing, so they can no stand anymore.
Is their anything that these Criminal Treasonous Gangs in police uniforms will not do for money? How will history look at these WW2 SS officers that will surpress its very own citizens, and overthrow our Constitution? They are the very traitors to the US Consitution, and shown they love power more then PROTECTING THEIR LOVED ONES THEY LEFT AT HOME. By them leaving their families alone, the peaceful citizens can go to their very homes and peacefully ask/get them to the front lines, so these treasonous criminal thugs can put down their weapons they chosen to overthrown your nations Freedom. Anything less, they are Enemies against the Freedom State.
Remember, do no harm to fellow freedom Lovers of any color. Remember that the 1% is trying to make this a race and color issue; which it is not! It is the 99% of all citizens against the 1%! Color has nothing to do with it, as we the people only want our criminal corrupt government illegal laws and bankers/corporations from ruling all of us. Do no harm or damage to your neighbors property, or persons! It needs to go to the treasonous corrupt offices in uniform protecting the DC criminals power over its people! If this clueless agressers going up against the will of the people are traitors to their oath, their country, and that that of all past veterans who lost their lives for our country.
DO NO HARM TO ANYONE! ALL LIFE DESERVES TO LIVE, AND I DO NOT CONDONE NOR IMPLY HARMING ANYONE. Understand and Love can Repair.
