Been following this one since it happened, where a young cop shot Jonathan Price. Who by all accounts was very much loved in Wolfe City. Not sure why the cop went straight to wanting to put cuffs on him over some minor scuffle/broken bottle, to poor decisions on Jonathans part, then tazing, shooting, etc. I was shocked when I read the cop was acquitted, then I saw the body cam footage and it looks horrible and not sure what else the jury could do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSMbeQ_hlJ4

If it was manslaughter he would have been convicted. But the jury just didnt see murder.

I stopped paying attention to any of those stories. It doesn't matter what facts are presented. The far right will always blame the suspect. The far left will always blame the cop. Even when the cop is convicted, the left acts like it didn't happen. And the warped wheels on the bus go round and round.

No matter what, fingers will be pointed and the truth just gets left on the side of the road. I just can't listen to it any more.

Several people here in Hunt County have said that this should have been a slam dunk, but the Prosecutor just wasn't as prepared as the Defense was.

That was hard to watch. Horrible job by the officer. What should the officer have done differently? Should he have waited till the person laid hands on him and possibly taken his pistol from him? At that distance, the perp would have been on him in just a couple of seconds, he was already closing the distance. Also he is apparently so drunk/high that the taser didn't have much of an effect on him, a non inhibited person would be on the ground. His friends interfering didn't help the situation either, they should have told him to comply. But they were probably just as drunk as him.

This is what the left calls police violence or whatever it is today. Certain people on the left want it and think it should be perfectly ok to not listen to the PD. All the guy had to do was follow orders. It’s that simple. Just follow the orders and he would be alive right now. As far as I could tell the officer was by himself and the dead guy seemed to have a posse of buds. He came in on the officer immediately when he walked up. Running his mouth at the cop the whole time. All he had to do was STFU and follow orders and it would all be good today.

I think it can be said that Jonathan's actions caused this situation to go sideways and ultimately put the cop in the position to use force. It seems to be a common theme in black community to argue with the police, resist, etc. Rolling up on a scene full tilt over a reported scuffle and broken bottle, then trying to handcuff and detain a drunk in the crowd by urself as a junior cop is poor judgement and reeks of Barney Fife.

Listen to the police. For that matter, if a gun comes out it’s time to start listening. How many commands did that guy completely disregard before he was shot?! If I am being aggressive and non-compliant to an officer, I would fully expect to catch a few rounds. RIP to that young man and prayers to the officer.
