The fact that the police brought a suspect in with no incident who had just brutally executed  one of their own should go a long way in showing  that police do not go around indiscriminately shooting

I am thinking that the suspect needs one more round of drugs to cure his issues...... permanently.

From what I have read and seen BLM is a racist group who discriminate against white cops. Nothing positive will come from this group. But they get all the air time all the talks with politicians. A gr

Just heard the murderous thugs attorney say he thinks he can get his clients charges dropped from capital murder to murder.  Because, according to the lawyer, Deputy Gorforth may have been at the gas station to meet this woman he was supposedly having a relationship with.  Can anyone explain this?  Maybe tvc has an answer.  As far as I'm concerned, go ahead and give the POS the needle.

i dont know how the two instances are connected, the shooter didn't know either of them. Media probably thinks she lured him there. Then again hell if I know :)

The law says that it is capital murder to kill a police officer who is " acting in the lawful discharge of an official duty". 

 It depends on what is decided as an official duty.  I think that it means you're on duty or acting as a police officer at that moment and were killed because you were a police officer.  I think his attorney is trying to make the point that the officer had to be taking some kind of official action. 

 I do not believe that is the law and certainly not how it was intended. Being on duty "is" acting as a peace officer.  As an example in San Antonio about 4 years ago a deputy was killed while sitting at a red light. He was taking no action other than driving but the suspect was charged and went to trial for Capital Murder. What "official act" was he taking other than patrolling, which to me is an "official duty". 

That is what lawyers do, try to figure out some angle. I don't think it will work however.

      He's steadily improving rapidly. Not that your opinion matters much based on some of the wild projections you've made on this site

      Cohen……a lying, backstabbing pos who does nothing but lie every time he opens his mouth. Let him utter words the prosecution wants to hear, and we can convict. Cohen told his ex advisor that he wanted to kill himself. What a worldly loss that would be. Let anyone on this board be put through the wringer with false charges and lies like Trump has had to endure, and you would be screaming at the top of your lungs how illegal all of this is.

      It was and remains perfectly timed and choregraphed Kangaroo Court, whatever Cohen just said or lied about.  Face it, under Soros installed Biden and Merrick Garland, the USA is now officially a Bananna Republic with a Goverment that weaponizes itself against and destroys its political rivals. Putin and Xi are SO proud!  Dang I miss Democracy.

      I haven’t been watching closely, but even the liberal sources even tell the story as “the defense really took apart Cohen’s testimony on Thursday.” It sounds like sloppy work from the prosecution to point out a specific call as being “the one,” when it was easily concluded that this particular call could not have occurred the way that Cohen (and the prosecution) claim it to have happened.    The bad news is that I doubt that it matters much-I suspect that most jurors minds were closed before testimony started.   I don’t see Trump leaving with anything less than a conviction based on the venue (NYC).

      Governor Abbott pardons Daniel Perry for murder during protest…

      Tough case all the way around.  The guy had a lot of online activity come out where he made racist statements and statements about killing BLM protesters and looters.  So when he then goes out and does it, it looks really bad.  I've seen a lot of videos where people have driven through protestors, defended themselves against them, etc., and didn't bat an eye.  This feels different, but that doesn't necessarily make it murder, either.  His account of the events that happened vs. the witness accounts were both very different, but I'd also expect both sides' accounts to be self-serving and inaccurate to fit their narrative.  Not really sure what to think on this one.
