A black college football player killed by a white police officer likely used a synthetic psychedelic drug and marijuana prior to the deadly confrontation at a Texas car dealership, according to an autopsy report released Wednesday.
Christian Taylor was unarmed when Arlington police officer Brad Miller shot him on Aug. 7. Miller has been fired.
The report shows there was THC, one of the active components of marijuana, and a synthetic drug that causes hallucinations in his system.

Miller's attorney John Snider said he hoped that in light of this evidence, the Arlington police chief would reconsider his decision to fire Miller.
Security footage from the lot shows Taylor breaking out the windshield of a car on the lot and then driving his vehicle into the glass showroom. There is no video footage of the shooting itself.
Inside the showroom, Miller ordered Taylor to get to the ground. Instead, Taylor cursed at the officer and advanced toward him. The officer fired when Taylor was about 10 feet away, Arlington police chief Will Johnson said in a news conference last month.
Friends of Taylor said he had recently developed a zeal for his Christian faith. According to the autopsy report, he had biblical verses, an angel and a cross tattooed on his body.

“Friends of Taylor said he had recently developed a zeal for his Christian faith.”
And was on his way to a Bible Study stoked to the gills?
*SNORT*
What’s his Grandma got to say? Was he starting college this fall?
Unflickin’ believable how THE NARRATIVE NEVER CHANGES!

Well, at least he went and got the tattoos.
:)
you the know the saying: liberals love criminals
“There is no video footage of the shooting itself.”
Which DEEPLY saddens The Enemy Media.
Those were some seriously hard drugs, I suppose. I would need a degree in chemistry to understand what one of those drugs was.
The kid was out of control crazy. There’s no telling what he might do. He made some bad choices and paid the price.
The press repeatedly incorrectly reported the incident. It should have been reported as “Former ASU football player was confronted in the commission of multiple felonies, while hopped up on marijuana and designer drugs, and chose (foolishly) to attack an armed policeman. At this time, Texas Rangers are investigating the parents for child neglect and providing controlled substances to a minor”.

A not-so-gentle giant.
he was a good kid; loved the Loprd and got a tatto; wanted to be a brain surgeon for Doctors Without Borders; and the po-lice done shot him down. I watched the video and saw him rip out a car windshiled with his bare hands. The cop did not follow procedure but only he knows why this future brain surgeon was shot. Some people you just can’t fight
Pretty much par to the course!
