"Mathew Morgan, a young Delaware State Police veteran of three years came to the house that Rogers was sharing with his elderly mother, to investigate an alleged hit-and-run incident on a parked car in Millsboro Delaware. The events that occurred during that home investigation defy explanation. Apparently the officer questioned Mr. Rogers about a hit and run incident on the parked car, and Mr. Roger denied the allegations and asked the officer to leave his residence.

Mr. Rogers was reported to be intoxicated at the time of Officer Morgan’s arrival at the residence, but being intoxicated within your own residence is not a violation of any crime. Although Mr. Rogers judgement was probably impaired, he was perfectly within his rights to ask the officer to leave the residence.

In an altercation between the officer and Rogers, a scuffle ensued with officer Morgan attempting to use a taser on Rogers. When that didn’t work the officer discharged nine rounds from his weapon, five of them striking Rogers, two of the the rounds striking him in the groin area.

The perpetrator here is DSP Officer Mathew Morgan because he used lethal force in a situation that did not call for that type of action."
