A Texas state trooper who was shot over the weekend "no longer displays signs of viable brain activity" and will remain in life support until his organs can be harvested, authorities said Monday.

Trooper Chad Walker had been hospitalized after a gunman shot him near Mexia in Limestone County, 85 miles south of Dallas, during an attempted stop on Friday to assist the driver of a disabled vehicle on the side of a road.

Before Walker could stop his patrol vehicle, the gunman opened fire through the vehicle's windshield, striking him in the head and abdomen. Life-saving efforts over the weekend had failed, the Texas Department of Public Safety.

After the shooting, the suspected gunman, identified by authorities as DeArthur Pinson Jr., 36, allegedly retrieved a black backpack from his vehicle and fled the scene on foot. He eventually took his own life, Limestone County Judge Richard Duncan said Saturday.

Pinson, from Palestine, Texas, had a long criminal history, including a 10-year sentence for armed robbery and an arrest for deserting the Army, KXXV reported.

The Texas Department of Public Safety Officers Association identified Walker as a husband and father of four. He had just become a father to a daughter two months ago. He was also a father to a 15-year-old son and twin seven-year-old daughters.

and people wonder why they can be a little jumpy when they approach someone

stopping to fricking help somebody, probably figured it would be an easy one rather than most where the driver is going to be pissed for getting stopped

I can’t wait to read all the stories about how the dimocratix’s reckless and hateful rhetoric caused this.

Lots of crimes should have much longer minimum sentencing with no chance of parole.

But liberals want them to vote and get out of jail early, presumably so they can do this type of shite.

Just like releasing illegals who've raped or killed citizens.

So sad.

Now that the media has exposed the racist police institutions for what they are, it seems officers can no longer go around gunning down minorities at will. Looks like they're going with the more subtle method of letting themselves be shot & thus entrapping otherwise good-hearted POC who are just trying to live their lives peacefully. I urge you all to keep an eye on this, the white man's plans grow more complicated & malicious every day.

Need to pursue charges against every person that goes on tv claiming police are “hunting” black people. shite like this is fueled by that false narrative.
