“The high court is considering the case of former Ottawa Hills Officer Thomas White, who shot and paralyzed motorcyclist Michael McCloskey after a traffic stop May 23, 2009. White has maintained that he fired because he feared Mr. McCloskey, who had his back turned to him, was reaching for a weapon. Mr. McCloskey was unarmed. The impact of the case to police officers beyond Ottawa Hills prompted both the state and national Fraternal Order of Police to get involved. ‘You have to understand that a police officer acting and discharging his service weapon in the line of duty is just fundamentally different from the armed robber holding up a gas station,’ the unions’ Columbus attorney said.”
