I can't see any way in the world that these two officers are not prosecuted for 2nd degree murder. If they are not then the City Police department should and probably will become the butt of a thousand really bad jokes, they should be a laughingstock of Law enforcement in Texas. This was straight up a killing, no other explanation. These officers should be fired and prosecuted as civilians they are not qualified to carry firearms in Texas. I can't see how they were not indicted, this man was NOT a threat to them.The Homeless Cowboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06552287747723969215noreply@blogger.com
