News Story

quote:

According to the Austin Police Department, someone called 911 just before 10:30 p.m. to report a suspicious person with a backpack walking around the parking lot. The caller said the man was looking into vehicles and possibly breaking into them.


quote:

"Our officer ended up catching up with this individual in the back of the apartment complex. This individual was non-compliant and our officer ended up deploying less lethal force through the use of a taser."


quote:

They yelled several times for him to lie on his stomach and put his arms to the side. Instead, Crocker is seen on the video rolling over and firing six shots in three seconds at the officers. They scattered and two officers, one who has been with the department for 23 years and the other two years, fire back, hitting the man.


quote:

EMS arrived and transported him to South Austin Hospital where he died.

I've been trying to tell this board for years, "if you're gonna go to Austin, do not shoot at police".


Y'all thought I was making shite up, but it looks like I was right, again.

That backpack was probably just full of college books.

Those shots he fired were just to raise awareness against police brutality.


#handsup, don't shoot

That's a bit much, but hitting him in the hand or arm could have stopped him from shooting.
