Part of a Dallas News story from today...
"Officer Jackson's shift was long over, but he joined in the chase, over fences and through yards. It was his job.

Whether Mr. Lizcano is still exhibiting the gangsta-cool indifference he assumed in the hours after his arrest or is full of blubbering remorse doesn't really matter.
Nor does it matter – not right now, anyway – that Mr. Lizcano appears to have been in this country illegally or that he was apparently a vengeful, self-pitying imbecile with a sadistic habit of getting drunk and beating up his sometime-girlfriend.
