Man faces capital murder charge in killing of Houston deputy(Civil Rights leader attacks Sheriff)

Sheriff's deputies on Saturday arrested a 30-year-old man who will be charged with capital murder in connection with the shooting death of a deputy at a suburban Houston gas station, a killing the sheriff tied to anger against police.

Shannon Miles was picked up for questioning early on Saturday following the Friday night shooting, which was captured on surveillance video, Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman told reporters. He noted that Miles is black and has a history of prior arrests for trespassing and resisting arrest.

Earlier on Saturday, Hickman had linked the shooting of deputy Darren Goforth, who was white, to anti-police rhetoric across the country in the wake of deaths of unarmed black men at the hands of white officers. On announcing the charges against Miles later in the day, Hickman said the department assumed Goforth was "a target because he wore a uniform."

"We have not been able to extract any details regarding a motive at this point," Hickman added. "As far as we know, deputy Goforth had no previous contact with the suspect, and it appears to be clearly unprovoked."

Hickman said a handgun had been recovered and that a ballistics test matched it to bullets recovered from the scene.

Later in article ' "It is sad that some have chosen to politicize this tragedy by falsely attributing the officer's death to a movement seeking to end violence," civil rights activist DeRay Mckesson said in a message on Twitter.'

falsely? We apparently are wrong to arrest such upstanding citizens.

This isn’t a “tragedy.” This a hate crime murder by an Obonzo supporting, racist pig.

"We have not been able to extract any details regarding a motive at this point,"

It's not hard to figure out.

Soros-paid Deray McKesson was all over Twitter when he thought the Virginia TV shooter was white. He’s a filthy sodomite racist.

Violence in the USA would go down considerably if the guns were taken away from the thugs causing the violence. The civil rights leader may should take a look at who is causing the problem.

...a movement seeking to end violence.

Which movement is that?

Civil Rights? #BlackLivesMatter? Hope & Change? La Raza/La Mecha? Nation of Islam? Occupy Wall St? Democrat Party?

None of the above.

The entire political Left bears responsibility for this murder and for most other murders.

I seem to remember one of Palin’s campaign ads featuring an opponent in the cross hairs and when a totally unrelated act of violence took place, the entire MSM jumped on her ad as promoting violence. Now we have Calypso Louie and others calling outright for blacks to murder whites and nothing is said by the MSM. When will we learn that it is all propaganda?

That’s not the right photo. The wrong mugshot was released. Ironically, the thug pictured might can extra street cred if people confuse him for a cop killer.
