District Attorneys are generally the lowest low-lifes of the legal community. DA’s invented the concept of virtue signalling. Given a little power and waving a flag of “justice” they have a long history of fabricated evidence, withheld exculpatory evidence, media manipulation, and grandstanding, all in the name of furthering their political careers, not real justice. They couldn’t care less about guilt and innocence, only winning. Glenn Funk is the poster child for the type.
His charging of Andrew Delke with first degree murder in the 2018 killing of Daniel Hambrick is the ironic high point of Funk’s disgusting career. Metro cop Delke stopped Hambrick, who had outstanding warrants and fled with a gun in his hand. Hambrick ignored all orders to stop and was apparently shown on video to be in the act of turning to shoot at Delke, when Delke took him out.
Faced with withering pressure from the DA and acutely aware of the mob mentality affecting the George Floyd case, Delke took a plea deal. He will spend at least a year and a half in prison for manslaughter just because he did his job protecting Nashville citizens from an armed felon on the loose. The city is less safe thanks to Glenn Funk’s mishandling of “justice” in this case. Every cop is on notice now that the legal system is out to get them and every miscreant knows the cops have got to pull their punches to protect their own freedom.
Delke has acted heroically. He stood up in court and took full responsibility for the death of Daniel Hambrick with a steady voice and a clear conscience. What has been lost along the way is that Daniel Hambrick is in fact responsible for his own death. His previous crimes are what put him in harm’s way. His ignoring lawful orders and brandishing a pistol amid the chaos of flight and pursuit made it impossible for Andrew Delke to make any other decision. But the media have mostly focused on Hambrick’s mother’s profane and violent outburst in court when the plea deal was accepted. Judge Monte Watkins, if he had any sense of justice and cojones, should have put her in jail for contempt of court and refused to accept Funk’s plea deal with Delke.
Glenn Funk is himself a low-life as low as Daniel Hambrick, but he is no dummy. He knew by charging Delke with first degree murder he would gain cred with the race-baiting mob. He should be ashamed of himself. Nashville’s rising murder rate is to a great extent on him.
