Dothan,
Alabama – 30-year-old Robert Earl Lawrence was shot and killed by
police on Tuesday night, after he attempted to do a good deed by turning
a stray dog in at a local animal shelter. Instead of accepting this
good deed and taking the animal in without question, the workers at the
shelter demanded that Lawrence show them his government issued ID.Instead of giving them his ID, Lawrence showed them notarized and legal identification that was an affidavit instead of Motor Vehicle Administration ID card.
The employees of the shelter then made a careless decision that would end the man’s life. For some reason they decided to call the cops. It was not reported that Lawrence was at all belligerent or violent with the employees of the shelter, the police were called because he did not have a form of ID that they were familiar with.
When police arrived on the scene, Lawrence was hassled by them for several minutes about his ID. Police then informed him that he was being placed under arrest, but when Lawrence attempted to resist, he was shot by an unidentified police officer.
