Dallas officer indicted in shooting of mentally ill man
DALLAS — A Dallas County grand jury has indicted a former police officer who shot a mentally ill disabled man who was standing still with a knife in his hand last October, according to several sources with knowledge of the situation.
Cardan Spencer was indicted in the shooting of Bobby Bennett, who survived, and will likely face an aggravated assault charge. News 8 first broke the story last October after a neighbor’s surveillance video showed the original police account was inaccurate.
Spencer is the second Dallas officer in less than one week to be indicted over an on-duty police shooting. Last week, the same grand jury indicted former Sr. Cpl. Amy Wilburn on an aggravated assault charge over the shooting of an unarmed carjacking suspect.
Wilburn’s indictment was the first time a Dallas police officer was indicted over an on-duty police shooting since 12-year-old Santos Rodriguez was fatally wounded in a police shooting.
At least they got indicted it's a start.The trial jury will probably let em go.Baby steps I guess.
