PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — A Palm Beach County police officer was recently promoted after gunning down an unarmed man in a 2013 incident that sparked outrage across the nation.

Adams Lin was promoted to the rank of Sergeant this past weekend. While employed as a deputy, Lin had numerous complaints of excessive force filed against him.

In September 2013, Lin attempted to stop 20-year-old Dontrell Stephens for an alleged traffic violation as he rode his bicycle down the street. Footage from Lin’s patrol car shows Lin gunning Stephens down within approximately four seconds. Stephens was holding nothing but a cell phone at the time.

Dashboard camera video of the shooting is available below:

“I told him get on the ground!” Lin can be heard telling another officer shortly after shooting Stephens, causing injuries that left him paralyzed from the waist down for the rest of his life.

Both the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s office and the State’s Attorney’s Office cleared Lin of any criminal wrongdoing for shooting the unarmed man, refusing to press charges or discipline Lin, who records show has a history of complaints against him for excessive force.

In 2007, Lin was investigated by internal affairs after receiving five complaints within a 12-month period, but was cleared of any wrongdoing for each incident.

Lin is being sued by Stephens in an ongoing civil suit, but has yet to receive a single reprimand for use of force.

DES MOINES, Iowa — The Des Moines County District Attorney’s Office has decided not to file charges against a police officer who shot and killed an innocent, unarmed woman at her home.

Autumn Steele, 34, of Burlington, Iowa, was shot and killed by Officer Jesse Hill the morning after a domestic dispute with her husband. The officer came to the house to “supervise” the situation as she and her husband, Gabriel Steele, prepared to part ways. Neither husband or wife were armed.

Court records show Autumn Steele was arrested the night before with a charge of domestic abuse. Steele was released from jail and informed that she could only return home with a police officer present to retrieve her belongings. Steele returned home with Officer Jesse Hill, the man who would moments later shoot at her dog and miss, killing her instead.

Reports show Gabriel Steele was putting the couple’s 4-year-old son into their vehicle when he and Autumn Steele began arguing. The couple’s dog came from inside the house and started barking. Witnesses at the scene reported that the dog was not acting aggressively, but Officer Jesse Hill chose to escalate the situation by shooting at the dog. The officer could not maintain his balance as he fired his weapon repeatedly, but continued firing even after he fell onto the ground.

The officer missed the dog, but one shot fired by the officer while he was on the ground struck Autumn Steele in the chest. She was eventually taken to the Great River Medical Center where she died from her injuries.

Officer Hill was immediately placed on paid administrative leave following the killing. It is not yet known whether the officer will return to work following the District Attorney’s decision to file no charges against him.
