About three years ago, Shannon J. Miles was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after fighting a man at an Austin homeless shelter over the television remote control, said Joe Frederick, a prosecutor in Travis County, Texas.

Miles kicked and punched the victim, injuring his face, back and head, Frederick said. The deadly weapon used in the assault was his hands. (more…)

MILFORD, N.H.  – Sen. Ted Cruz today blamed President Obama for the ambush murder of a sheriff’s deputy in Houston, asserting that the president’s vilification of police has created a dangerous climate.
“Cops across this country are feeling the assault,” Cruz told reporters after a town hall meeting in Milford, N.H. “They’re feeling the assault from the president, from the top on down, as we see — whether it’s in Ferguson or Baltimore, the response from senior officials, the president or the attorney general, is to vilify law enforcement. That’s wrong. It’s fundamentally wrong. It’s endangering all of our safety and security.”
Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy Darren Goforth was killed Friday while filling his patrol car at a gas station in Houston. Authorities said today he was shot 15 times in the ambush. A suspect, Shannon J. Miles, is being held without bond. (more…)

Horrible crime.  Sketchy details, combined with police asking for help, yet not releasing CCTV video, might mean sketchy story.
Update: Victim identified as 23-year-old Andre Johnson Jr (pictured right).

DETROIT –A man was shot and killed while waiting in a car with his two children in the back seat at a gas station on Detroit’s east side Saturday night, according to police.

– UPDATE (5pm EST): HOUSTON (KTRK/KPRC/CNN/RNN) – According to the Associated Press, a suspect has been arrested in the killing of a Texas deputy at a Houston-area gas station.
The arrest came just more than an hour after Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman had made a plea to the public to come forward with information and assist in finding the person responsible. (link)
It appears the person currently being questioned by law enforcement has “learning disabilities”, which is generally code-speak for “mentally impaired”.  As a consequence therein, a strong possibility exists that the suspect’s behavior could be prone to the influence of others….  we would not be surprised if this turns out to be accurate.
(VIA FOX) Authorities searched Saturday for a suspect in the execution-style killing of a Texas county sheriff’s deputy who was on duty when he shot several times at a suburban Houston gas station. (more…)

Deputy Darren Goforth
A Harris County Deputy was assassinated last night while putting gas in his patrol vehicle.  A black male suspect approximately 5’11”, 20 to 25-years-old, approached the officer and fired a single shot in the back of his head.  The suspect then stood above the officer and shot 3 more bullets into his back.

#UPDATE: The officer was shot once in the head, and 3 times in the back. Chaotic scene on West Rd. at Telge. Avoid area if possible.

As a lifetime member of the perpetually aggrieved his history shows an unstable mind who filed numerous complaints and lawsuits.  In addition to being an activist within the Black Lives Matter movement, he was a staunch Obama supporter which led to a biased reprimand during his employment as a “journalist”. 

In a noted irony, the media refuses to publish his manifesto because it just doesn’t fit the PC narrative.  Their refusal stems from the same insufferable ideology to only promote a specific narrative; the same narrative which fueled his anxiety.

MONETA, Va. (AP) — A TV reporter and cameraman were shot to death on live television Wednesday by their former colleague, a journalist who also recorded himself carrying out the killings and then posted the video on social media.
The gunman, who was fired in 2013 from WDBJ in Roanoke, Virginia, fled the scene and went online, posting the video on Facebook and Twitter. He also reportedly faxed a 23-page manifesto and “suicide note” to ABC News, describing himself as a “human powder keg” that was “just waiting to go BOOM!!!!”
Vester Lee Flanagan II, 41, who appeared on WDBJ as Bryce Williams, had evidently been planning the attack for some time, authorities said. As he fled, he switched vehicles, picking up a rental car he had previously reserved at an airport. Troopers caught up with him hours later and hundreds of miles away after he fatally shot himself and ran off the road. […] (more…)

A former TV news reporter fatally shot two ex-colleagues this morning during a live broadcast in Roanoke Virginia.  Then he posted his own recorded videos of the killings on social media.  It is reported he faxed a 23 page manifesto to ABC News, claiming his intent was racially motivated – inspired by Black Lives Matter propaganda.

“Why did I do it? I put down a deposit for a gun on 6/19/15. The Church shooting in Charleston happened on 6/17/15 ” […]  “What sent me over the top was the church shooting. And my hollow point bullets have the victims’ initials on them.”
It is unclear whose initials he is referring to.  He continues, “As for Dylann Roof? You (deleted)! You want a race war (deleted)? BRING IT THEN YOU WHITE …(deleted)!!!” He said Jehovah spoke to him, telling him to act. (Link)

Vester Lee Flanagan II, aka Bryce Williams, (pictured left) fatally shot himself after a five-hour manhunt, he was pronounced dead at 1:26 p.m.
Flanagan ranted about the victims on Twitter prior to the shooting, and uploaded a video of the shooting while on the run. He accused the victims — reporter Alison Parker, 24, and cameraman Adam Ward, 27 — of racial prejudice, alluding to complaints filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the station’s human resources department.

Jaw dropping, then again, maybe not-so-much.  This is a continuation of a several year effort (Black Lives Matter) to claim the police are to blame for their efforts to stop unlawful behavior. [Watch the video]
(Via MRCTV) Everett D. Mitchell is the Director of Community Relations at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is also an attorney, pastor, and community leader.

 NEW ORLEANS — A Louisiana trooper died Monday after he was shot by an apparently stranded motorist who stood over the officer and told him afterward, “You’re lucky — you’re going to die soon.”
Senior Trooper Steven Vincent, 43, died at a hospital in Lake Charles after being shot in the head over the weekend by a man whose pickup truck was stuck sideways in a ditch, Col. Mike Edmonson said.
“This loss exacts an enormous emotional toll on the state police family, but we will do what is necessary and proper to honor Steve and support those who knew and loved him,” Edmonson said in a statement Monday morning. (more…)
