re: 8 people found dead in Houston home after standoff; suspect arrested

That's a terrible story. Texas should have him put down relatively quickly.

Basically I'm asking them to put the lives of the citizens over their own lives.

You are seriously not making sense here. What citizens would they have protected by going in guns blazing??

Any non-combatant in that house would be referred to as 'hostages' = when is the last time anyone thought it was a good idea for a group of police bum rushed an armed and dangerous man holding hostages? Waiting for a SWAT team was the best way to protect citizens - and hostages.

I cannot believe you are still trying to maintain this line of thought. Best to admit you were just revealing your anti-cop bias and leave it at that.

Sorry so long but these are the facts of his lengthy record LINK


Chief Deputy Tim Cannon stated that the deceased victims were counted as six children and two adults. The victims ranged in age from six to fifty. Two of the victims were female and six were male.

The deceased family members were identified as: Valerie Jackson, 40; her husband Duane Jackson, 50; and their six children – Nathaniel, Honesty, Duane, Jr., Caleb, Trinity and Jonna.

David Ray Conley, III, who has a lengthy criminal record that included several cases of domestic violence, a search of court records by Breitbart Texas revealed. That record includes felony and misdemeanor charges of assault on a family member, a felony charge of retaliation, felony possession of crack cocaine, felony robbery charges, evading arrest, criminal trespass, and felony auto theft. His criminal record in Harris County dates back to 1988. He has been seen before judges in at least six different misdemeanor and felony courts in Houston.

The warrant for his arrest was issued on July 8, court records revealed. He was charged with felony family assault and listed as a 2-time offender. He allegedly injured his girlfriend, Valerie Jackson by pushing her “head into a refrigerator with his hand.”

I don't have an anti cop bias. I have a anti swat bias. They are waste of resources and encourage bad police policies. If these guys didn't have swat to fall back on they would have gone in.

His extensive record at the county courts website. LINK

Some may be annoyed with my long posts. In this case they are just the facts. I believe that when discussing a case that the facts are relevant and not everyone has the time to go looking for them.

His criminal record starts in 1979 and contains a DUI,
fleeing police,
auto theft,
2 robbery threats,
another DUI,
criminal trespass,
evading arrest,
possession of crack,
retaliation,
another retaliation,
aggravated assault of family,
assault/bodily injury of family member.
and now 8 murders.

No, i wasn't talking to you.

But now he is going to get that GED and college degree which is really what has been holding him back.

Well this is ironic, it seems that this is the last thing Conley posted on Aug 1, just a week before killing 2 adults and 6 kids, including his own child.
