Angry crowd gathers after Freeport police fatally shoot suspect

FREEPORT, Texas – A large, angry crowd gathered at an officer-involved shooting scene in Freeport Wednesday after a police officer shot and killed a man.

Freeport police say they received a call for help from the Garden Villa Apartments at 310 Yaupon. Someone inside an apartment said their door had been kicked in.

When police arrived, three frightened children ran outside. Police went inside and found 31-year-old Ronald Sneed on top of his girlfriend in her bedroom.

They say he appeared to be pointing a gun at the woman and that's when the officer shot him.

Police haven't released other details about Sneed's shooting, but did say they recovered a weapon.

Police told reporters that Sneed's girlfriend later thanked them for "saving her life."

Relatives say Sneed lived at the apartment with his girlfriend and her three children.

"But these cops just going around shooting people because of hoodies and mistaken identity and because they're scared," said Latavia Sneed, the dead man's sister. "That's not right, man. Do your job. You're supposed to be for the people. Justice, protect and serve."

Neighbors believe the children may have witnessed the shooting.

"I don't like it. It's senseless," said Clarissa Murray, a neighbor. "And there were kids in the house. What if they shot one of the kids?"

"Why do you have all these other weapons? You have Tasers, you have these sticks, you know," asked Sneed's sister. "Why do you have to shoot somebody so many times to kill them?"

Shes right.

One well placed bullet should do the trick.

I agree. One to take 'em down, followed by the double-tap for insurance. If you really have to be sure beyond that, use a machete.

The problem is , that is how drug lords/cartels such as in Colombia basically take over parts of a country and end up ruling over it like evil tyrants. We should NOT give and and give up parts of our cities or our country, these people will not long live in a power vacuum.

If no valid law, then something very evil will come and take its place, and the cartels, or ISIS, or something else as evil will come and restore their own brand of “order”. Then they will not stay long in their “ghetto”. They will soon be expanding out from there.

This is an organized effort to turn the U.S. into a war torn, tribal, uncivilized cesspool. We must never give in or give up our country to these thugs!

Once again, the preferred minority decides to “protest” over an obvious scumbag.

Can they ever choose to protest the killing of a clearly innocent preferred minority? Didn’t care about his “girlfriend”, but the scum with the gun and threats gets the royal treatment by “crowds”.

What if he’d shot one of the kids?

Silly you — it would have been the cops fault for not shooting the perp quickly enough.

Yeah, the pics at the referenced site tell it all. Yep, certain parts of the, er, slum should just be fenced off and let the jungle justice prevail. Cut off all their EBT cards and unemployment insurance (when were they ever employed?, and let them stew in their own juices. Don’t let em off the reservation.

“He did not have a thing and they assassinated him,” says Sarah Sneed-Bass – mother of the shot man.

Cause they weren't subdued on the first shot? Just thinking out loud here.

Oh boy, here comes the denial.

Why cant we hear a statement from the girlfriend, if the guy had a gun she would know - but I doubt that would shut the deniers up.

The local rabble rouser Quanell X said it was a clean good kill. Therefore it will be investigated and no billed with no problem
