No wonder the cops found him, that's not much of a disguise.
"My brother didn't have to die."
He didn't have to kill, either. (Allegedly)

Gathered on the corner of Kirkhaven Court in South San Jose, about 100 family members and friends hugged and sobbed as they remembered the father, brother and friend they knew as Richard "Harpo" Jacquez -- not the man identified earlier Tuesday by police as the homicide suspect they shot and killed as he fled from officers the night before.
"I just want to hold him," wailed Jacquez's sister, Tiffany De La Pena, as she knelt on the street during a prayer. "My brother didn't have to die. He was shot in the back like a dog."

How do you say “Dindu Nuffins” in Spanish?
Is it just my phone or don’t links work?

Hands up, don't shoot?
With CCTV video (that is exceptional quality, by the way) the police know exactly who committed that crime. Those three murdered a person that offered no resistance, in cold blood.
Garner vs. Tennessee criteria met. It is totally reasonable to expect these three to kill again.
Are you advocating summary executions decided by street cops?
¡Yo no hice nada!
I think he explains what he means perfectly with his reference to the supreme court decision that tells cops when they can use deadly force to stop a fleeing felon.
What is truly amazing is watching how many here at Free Republic that are so easily manipulated by the constant anti-police agenda of the media. Where they are suspicious of the media tearing down this country in other reporting, one sided, bias reporting on police is accepted at face value.
That isn't a summary execution. A summary execution is what this guy committed against the victim in the office building.
Vidas marrones conteidos?
Correct me if I'm wrong. My Spanish dictionary has a bunch of words for "matter"!
Nope, just that they be allowed to do the job I pay them for. That includes shooting a cold-blooded murder down like a dog if he tries to run and evade capture.
Watch the video at the source article. I am guessing there is more video that wasn’t release with respect to the victim’s family.
Correction: Shot in the back like a mad dog. For only mad dogs are and deserve to be shot like that.
If you disagree, then show the surveillance video of your brother at the funeral parlor.
“Are you advocating summary executions decided by street cops?”
gotta read the article:
“Police earlier Tuesday said detectives had obtained information during their investigation of last week’s homicide that led them to believe Jacquez planned to kill a woman who was riding in his car Monday afternoon who may have known too much about the homicide.”
Not a summary execution but a preventative one.
Yep. They did. Ask the woman in the car if the police had the right to use the force they did in order to save her life.
It's a lot to take in. You don't know what's true and what isn't."
The police, in this instance, appear to know a GREAT DEAL more than you. Your friend was a murderer and planned on committing another murder when he was killed.
He was a suspect. Not a convicted criminal. I won’t sleep over his shooting but I will lose sleep over so many people demanding a police state shooting people on sight.
Did the cop see the shooting video? Did he witness the crime? If not there is no way he can 100% identify the guy and decide to shoot him. Lots of people look similar. If you go down the road you’ve advocated cops will just start shooting anyone they think is the guy.
Look at what happened in CA when they were looking for the black ex-cop. Shot up a pick up with two women in it because it was the same color. I guess you’d call that a good shoot, too?
I am as hard on bad cops and bad shoots as anyone on the FR but that is not what this was.
This post and replies is getting a little silly. The cop shot a fleeing murder suspect. If the guy would have stopped his car raised his hands he would be in jail awaiting trial.
When someone shoots an unarmed innocent the cops need to go after him with all they have.
It would have been fine for the suspect to go to trial, but, he made the decision to risk his life in fleeing from the police. Do you think he expected the cops to just give up and hope he turned himself in? The cops did the right thing in this particular instance. They did what we would hope they would do, they protected society from a violent murderer.
Suspected felons are fair game for police to use lethal force to stop. This wasn’t just a suspected felon, he was a suspected Violent felon who was in route to kill.
Way to go cops, keep up the good work.
We have video of the mexicriminals committing the murder.
Video does not lie.
I am glad this primitive savage is dead, because now society is a little bit safer.
That his family defends him in the face of overwhelming evidence is simply more compelling evidence of the depravity and inhumanity of the culture of those people.
They They should all be excreted from our country irrespective of what side of the border the placenta fell.
