I think you don’t know what executing is. But as to why he was shot, I know that one officer yelled “gun!”, and within a second or two of that another officer disarmed him, during which the gun went off. I believe the officer who fired the shots either saw the pistol taken and in the struggle mistakenly thought that the victim had pulled it from the holster, or didn’t see the gun but heard “gun” and then almost immediately heard the shot and thought the victim was pulling the trigger. I don’t think the victim “deserved” to be shot, and I don’t think it should’ve happened under these circumstances, but I do think there’s going to be a pretty strong argument for ruling the shooting as justified. It’s not really any different than a lot of the cases we see where some kid who’s afraid of the cops runs when he’s pulled over for speeding or fights the cops because they’re busting him on a misdemeanor marijuana charge. The situation escalates needlessly and all of a sudden something that shouldn’t have been a big deal at all puts a cop in a situation where they have to make a split-second decision based on the information they have and their reasonable belief that they’re in danger. Oftentimes when we can go back and look at it from a different angle (and in slow motion), the cop could’ve done something different. But they wouldn’t have had to make a split-second decision if the person they were dealing with didn’t put them in the situation to begin with. Sometimes cops get it wrong, and sometimes it’s still justified. I think that may end up being the case here.

We have Hispanic friends (legal) that attend a Hispanic church here in Silsbee. According to them, 90-95% of the congregation voted Republican this last election and will still vote Republican this coming midterm. They want illegals (some are family members) out of Texas. They understand why some come here illegally (good people looking for a better life, not the criminals) but feel if they had to go through all the red tape to be here legally, then everyone should. BTW, this new market is being owned and operated by a local business man who owns a pallet company here and employs several Hispanic families that were in need of this type market. Kudos to Mr. Worthy.

I don't think any officer(LEO) (especially this 8 year veteran) wakes up hoping they kill someone. They just want to do their shift and go home to their family every night.....I don't blame them for doing what they think is necessary to not die. I carry most of the time, my biggest fear is having to pull my weapon and use it. Not only the thought I killed someone, someone's parent or child, I'll have to live with that but it could bankrupt me in court, even if proven justified. For me, I hope my Son or anyone I care for wouldn't act so stupidly interfering with LEO's trying to do an already hard job.

1 polls are useless 2 of coarse a thorough investigation is needed 3 to blame this on the lack of ICE training in mob management rather than blaming the mob is unreasonable. 4 if you want better trained personnel to handle the mob, shouldn’t we bring in the military?

That is kind of what happened in the Amadou Diallo case. Detective, were going to speak to a person (Amadou Diallo) on the street who fit the description of a sexual assault suspect. They asked him for identification and he ran, running up a stairway and reached into his pocket and pulled out a black pistol while he was running. The closest officer yelled “Gun!” and there was a shot and the officer went down. The other officers returned fire killing Diallo. Except the black pistol was his wallet. The closest officer who yelled gun tripped and accidentally fired his gun. The officers behind him heard the officer yell gun, heard the gunshot and saw the officer go down. It all happened in a couple of seconds. They all were indicted for a second-degree murder and a jury found all of them not guilty, finding it was a reasonable belief under the circumstances.

This will be our SETXsports Official Realignment thread. All realignment info will be posted here. Also, after the districts are announced, we will then decide which districts we will cover here at SETXsports. Likely the same as always but with a tweak here or there. Just depends on where our core schools fall and what other outlier schools join them.

I’m looking forward to the new market in Silsbee. I wonder how long it’ll be before ICE shows up? Just because you’re a citizen doesn’t mean they won’t haul you in. Maybe even deport you. Oughtta be real good for business, all this fear and violence directed towards people who don’t look white enough. And white people who don’t like to see others treated like animals. Shoot first. Ask questions later, if you feel like it.

BH about to build a new field house along with new football locker rooms. $95 million bond to be voted on in May [Hidden Content]

I agree They should do on their own time

You can’t claim to be “America First” and sue the USA for $10 billion dollars. In the past couple of weeks he’s sued the USA, Chase Bank, and the BBC. I thought we elected him to run the country, not sue everybody on the planet. Donald Trump is a stain on the underpants of humanity.

Lemon: Come for me, I don't care!!!! FBI: Okie Dokie

He would definitely be up there but his teams at Hightower and other places wasn't as scoring prolific as his teams at Yates. Jackie Carr, legendary coach at Wheatley, would be right up there with 100 point wins.

This weeks episode is up on YouTube [Hidden Content]

Don't believe everything you read. They say "no tax increase," but the city/county raises value of your house/property. Thus, your property taxes total goes up. The school doesn't change the decimal... You might ask, how does this always happen? This must be a coincidence that your land value goes up every time a bond passes. Yeah, I am sure that it is...

From the article: “DHS has no record of this incident”. This is gonna be Trump’s Kent State. Fascism has reached it’s high water mark in this country..

If he had a second gun Trump would’ve jumped all over it, and the border patrol as well. Anything to make this ugly event look a little better for him. They put out a pic of his gun almost immediately. If there had been two you better believe they would’ve let us know

It’s crazy…..I remember being called racist when I agreed with jury/cops decisions on “unarmed black man”…..now we have a white guy armed with a weapon getting in the middle of police business, and I’m hearing he had a right to conceal carry…..so, the only common denominator is they don’t like cops…..because I’ve said this on several social media sites, if you don't teach your kids to comply and not resist or fight the cops, it’s child abuse…..there is a risk for every decision people make….if I drink and drive and hit a telephone pole and kill myself…..did I deserve to die? No, but that decision put me there…… Until people stop blaming everyone else for their poor decisions, nothing is going to change….I’m not lowering my standards, both of the deaths were because of stupid, dumb and illegal decisions they both made.

The huge difference is this is what happened when Kyle and the police met,,,,,, He surrendered without incident......

[Hidden Content] From the article: A coordinated web of encrypted chats, street alerts and tracking of ICE "Abductors" in a sophisticated database reviewed by Fox News Digital shows that agitators were already mobilized at the scene where 37-year-old Alex Pretti was killed minutes before any shots were fired. ICE and Border Patrol agents were there to arrest an illegal immigrant criminal, and Pretti and others were there, outside a donut shop, to meet them as part of a strategic pattern of organized interference with law enforcement operations. Over the following hours, a national network of socialist, communist and Marxist-Leninist cells in the United States leveraged the tragic fatality into a nationwide protest operation. While grief and outrage over Pretti's death is genuine, the network's real-time rapid response, using short sensational video clips and emojis as weapons of propaganda, offers a window into the disciplined logistics, messaging and coordination of far-left warriors fomenting insurgency-like confrontation with authorities.

Deport all illegals. Report anyone suspected of being an illegal in your neighborhood or job to 1-866-DHS-2-ICE (1-866-347-2423), the official 24/7 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tip Line - it is now active.

West Brook players were wrong to even go over there in the first place, and I’m sure that’ll be handled. But no adult should ever be going back and forth with a kid. That’s a lack of emotional intelligence and maturity. Now social media is full of think pieces from grown people blaming refs, blaming coaches, blaming everything except the truth. Why are we so afraid to let our kids fail? This is exactly why this generation struggles — too many adults want to hold their hands and shield them from every stone thrown their way. Life is harder than a basketball game. Let’s teach them how to stand on two feet, hold their heads high, and handle defeat with character. That’s how you build young men, not by protecting them from every uncomfortable moment.

This is gonna' be a very competitive district.

Look at Me!……I am an emotionally unstable liberal who can’t get on with my life because Trump is President!

[Hidden Content] As expected, Trump and his family have file a suit demanding $10 billion in damages from the US Treasury. Baddog: “THIS is what I voted for.” Reagan: “But he doesn’t even take a salary.” Every other conservative: “I’d sue them, too.” It an interesting way to push his approval ratings even lower. *and the person who gets to decide whether or not to settle this claim will be DJT himself, according to DJT. Right when you think it can’t get any worse, it does.

My personal stance on this stuff has been pretty clear from the get go. The Constitution and SCOTUS rulings guarantee the First Amendment Right to peaceably assemble & protest our government. This is NOT what's occurring in Minnesota. These are NOT peaceful assemblies. They are interference and harboring/abetting. I do NOT like some of the technology and tactics being employed by some Immigration Enforcement Agents. I believe they are violating the 4th Amendment, and amount to warrantless searches. I have no issues with face coverings on Immigration agents as long as they are required to wear 'always on' body cams that are checked out and in daily with their contents downloaded and reviewed and placed into a wearer's personal file to address any future legal questions, and/or for training purposes. The footage should be kept for a standard amount of time that's agreed to at the Federal level for Federal agents. Officers/Agents should be required to wear more standardized uniforms, and use standard, easily labeled vehicles. If someone vandalizes them, they should be arrested, booked, and jailed. They should be forced to pay for damages before their release as part of their 'bond', or their wages should be able to be garnished for compensation. The Administrative vs. Judicial warrant questions need to be addressed. Immigration Officers/Agents should not be allowed to just randomly stop people and ask their citizenship status. The wearing of body cams should help eliminate some of these possible abuses. Employers should be forced to use the I-9 system, and it needs to be integrated into a working, national database. Sanctuary policies have to be stopped. This issue needs to go to SCOTUS on a fast track. Just my thoughts, and have been the same since the beginning of this mess. Some of the groups organizing the protests that aren't peaceful are a side issue as are the individual shootings we've been discussing. But, I think it might be a good idea to have protesters have to get a permit before large gatherings that interfere with public venues/emergency egress/access where local law enforcement/emergency services can be prepared. This doesn't infringe on people's right to peaceably assemble & protest, and would seem to be a reasonable limitation for public safety. Not all my thoughts are a solution. They may not even be workable, or legal. But, they're common sense to me as a person who respects our officers attempting to do their jobs while also protecting our civil liberties. P.S. I don't like our teachers involving our kids in this stuff before they are of legal age at all. Period. We send our kids to school, and assume they're being protected in a safe environment. Not let out on the street to participate in these activities.

Air marshals, mistaken for ICE agents, chased out of LA County restaurant

Spot on, he’s talking about lots of hypocrites in this country that are crying about radicals killed while interfering with law enforcement but couldn’t care less about victims of crimes at the hands of illegals.

It goes way further back than that. When you go back to the Nixon years, you had Rs who told Nixon “we’re going to vote to convict… you need to resign.” Somewhere in the 90s is when things really started to get more adversarial, and we no longer hold “our” guys accountable. From the Whitewater investigation that turned into Clinton being impeached for lying about honking his intern… it’s just been getting worse. The “Lil Bushie” cartoon when we were in the gulf war. The racist attacks on Obama, combined with his opinions/views/policies on race that only widened racial gaps. I can remember being astounded in ‘15 when Trump came out in the first debate hammering everybody on stage-it was comedy gold and we’d never seen anything like it on the presidential stage before. But now that angry, attack, lie, defame strategy is found at every level of government. Is he to blame? Nah, he was just the first to one to do it… we’re to blame for accepting it. And here’s the thing… I correct my own kids, not anybody else’s. I’m a conservative, Christian, Texan, American. I used to say Republican, but when I see what republicans support today, I can’t claim to be one of them. And MAGA is a horrible political movement that has hijacked, then destroyed the Republican/conservative movement for decades to come, I’m afraid. Ted Cruz used to be considered the most raging conservative prick. Even Republicans had a hard time dealing with him because he was too rigidly right wing. Today he’s “Lyin’ Ted,” a no-good RINO who needs to be taken out by “We The People.” And it’s not because his views have changed, he just wasn’t MAGA enough for MAGA. Same with John Cornyn. At once thought to be the third most conservative member of the US Senate, he’s now facing a defeat by “Our General” Ken Paxton, the corrupt Texas Attorney General who is loved for being one of Trump’s biggest attack dogs, in spite of everything he’s done. Greg Abbott? MAGA hates him now. With MAGA, it doesn’t matter what crimes you commit, as long as you’re loyal to Trump, you’ll have the support of the voters. But you’re right… I’m definitely more vocal when I see “my” side screwing up-because I expect my side to do right, regardless of what the other side is doing. Weak men, when faced with their own shortcomings, will say “yeah, but look what everybody else was doing, too.”

BC- 63 Vidor- 52 Vidor played a very solid game.

You are correct sir. I tell my teenage son everyday he leaves the house that I love him and make good choices.

Thank you for your input Big Girl.

Exactly. That’s what LPISD does. Every 9 years like clockwork.

More than I love white conservatives who like to arrest and/or kill them They’re sending them whether legal or not. Deport first, ask questions later..

Don’t you just love white liberals that feel they must be the voice for the poor downtrodden minority that can’t speak for themselves.

Bacon grease?

If the city and county uphold the ICE warrants like they should, none of this would happen. There would be no need to apprehend people in the streets as they are likely already in custody. Imagine a system or a violent criminal is in the county jail and the federal government has a hold on them and the powers that be want to hurry up and get the violent criminal back out on the street again quickly….. so they can escape federal warrants. It’s the movie Idiocrasy playing out in real life.

How about the abridged TVC special version? 😉

How have you never seen the video? This video is worth a watch. This is a fairly conservative lawyer who breaks down shootings and other political and criminal things. If you don’t want to spend 20 minutes watching the whole thing, I’d start around the 3:30 min mark and watch until about the 8:00 min mark. It shows the shooting to some degree. It definitely shows the mob trying to break down the barricaded door and the cops with guns already out on the other side. If you really want a clear look of her climbing through the window and falling back out of it, you can find it online.

For me? I’m gonna spring from my bed buck naked and grab the 9 (and at least one extra mag) from the nightstand on go on the offensive with that spare mag tucked between my cheeks. I think being unclothed would make me harder to subdue if they even willing to put their hands on me.

I saw where someone compared Rittenhouse to this situation. Both brought loaded weapons to a protest. One side said it was wrong, the other applauded. I am not saying this is the same but there is some irony.

Maybe it has been covered, but I don’t feel like reading through all of these comments… The mantra from the left is that ICE agents are not real law-enforcement or police, which is false and that they are untrained. So here we have proof that ICE has too little training………. wait a minute, that wasn’t ICE. That was the Border Patrol that shof the guy in Minneapolis. Do we remember the CBP, the heroes who were so highly trained that it was them that stepped up and ended the Uvalde shooting. Again, maybe it has been covered but this wasn’t ICE

Looks like Walz is coming to his senses...... From Truth Social: Governor Tim Walz called me with the request to work together with respect to Minnesota. It was a very good call, and we, actually, seemed to be on a similar wavelength. I told Governor Walz that I would have Tom Homan call him, and that what we are looking for are any and all Criminals that they have in their possession. The Governor, very respectfully, understood that, and I will be speaking to him in the near future. He was happy that Tom Homan was going to Minnesota, and so am I! We have had such tremendous SUCCESS in Washington, D.C., Memphis, Tennessee, and New Orleans, Louisiana, and virtually every other place that we have “touched” and, even in Minnesota, Crime is way down, but both Governor Walz and I want to make it better! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP [Hidden Content]

The Feds recovered 1100 separate chat groups in Signal with 400,000 unique messages on Stewart Rhodes phone after Jan. 6th. There is talk that inside officials in the Government may have coordinated with Petti on the harassment of ICE agents.....I think we are about to see the Trump administration take action on these ILLEGAL protestors.....

Well said.

100%

Video is out that shows the officer that retrieved the gun from the holster discharged the weapon firing it possibly accidentally. That shot may have caused officers to respond with deadly force.

I mean I’m good with keeping both, Cardinalbacker was at least entertaining, but I understand you can’t bash the moderators with no consequences.
