Trooper 'no longer displays signs of viable brain activity'

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.

Damn white supremacists. Prayers for the officer and his family.

I feel like this could have been worded better.

Pretty miserable decision to end up with for the family.
Btw....fill out your organ donor stuff and let others know.

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.

This is a sad story. If I were this trooper's family I would want to see evidence this SOB was dead.

May God rest his soul and watch over his family as their grieve his death.
May the piece of shite who killed him rot in hell.

It is...
But....if you don't put anything down, not even a "do not use my organs", they will ask the family. Due to timing, that's not a great time to go through that process.

Where is the dumbass that said the killer would turn himself in?

Maybe this calls for a little extra flag kneeling from our US professional athletes.

This is interesting. Should they be jumpy? I’m not sure I have the answer.
If we dismiss the idea of racial bias in policing based on statistics, what’s the statistical likelihood a police officer is attacked in any given interaction?
Posted on 3/29/21 at 5:35 pm to the808bass
Are there good stats on cops shot by race of criminal?
Posted on 3/29/21 at 5:36 pm to roadGator
About 50% of officers feloniously killed are killed by people identified as African-American.
Posted on 3/29/21 at 5:43 pm to the808bass
That’s killed. What about all gun encounters and/or “shot”
Looks like there may be reason to be jumpy but it all comes down to “side of town”.

Hell, some Demorats are pushing for them to vote while in prison.
Sad is an understatement!
