Results: The Symbolism of Handcuffs

Police Officer Antwan Toney was shot and killed as he and another officer investigated reports of a suspicious vehicle near the intersection of Bethany Church Road and Shiloh Road at approximately 3:00 pm, on October 20, 2018. As the officers approached the vehicle at least one person inside opened fire, shooting through the vehicle's windows. Officer Toney was struck as he and the other officer returned fire. The vehicle crashed a short distance away and its four occupants fled on foot. Are you familiar with this story?

The one suspect, that was apprehended alive, was handcuffed in Officer Toney's own service handcuffs. "The service cuffs are a symbolic gesture often used when a suspect is arrested for the death of an officer." Were you aware that this is done?

Do you find any justice in using the cuffs of the slain officer?
