The Racine County officers who shot and killed Timothy Burgess during a traffic stop on May 22 won't be charged, District Attorney Patricia Hanson announced Monday, July 24.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice investigation revealed "no basis to prosecute."
It started with a call for shots fired in Mount Pleasant on May 21. Police said Burgess fired at his wife, and a child in the home called 911.
Hours later, police tried to pull over a Range Rover and said Burgess ran, hiding in tall grass at Clayton Park.
"You’re going to jail regardless, so you might as well come out now," an officer told Burgess.
Police said Burgess refused to come out, telling officers he was unarmed.

The suspect was hidden in the bushes to the left of the shield, its quite hard to see in this video. There's a drone footage in Police Activity's YouTube channel, unfortunately it's censored.

Yeah, i'm surprised they all lived after that. I guess they knew the cops were wearing bullet proof vests and the perp wasn't.

That’s absolutely no excuse. Those Kevlar bullet proof vest aren’t rated to stop rifle rounds. Even that ballistic shield they are using is more than likely rated only for handguns. Even if they were you still don’t chance a crossfire like that.

Wtf. This was pretty dumb by the cops here. That crossfire in that approach on the suspect was completely unacceptable. Also some of the cops tried to make a run for it after the shooting started especially the one on the far right, causing them to wipe out on the ground because the grass is so thick I’m guessing. They really just need to stay in tight formation behind the shield man and return fire instead of pussing out and scattering. Just sloppy work.
