Indigent? Wow, rich daddy must have washed his hands of the guy. Another case of affluenza and he has a history of drug arrests.

The background on this is sonny boy was a freshman at Texas Tech and a druggie who was off his wacko meds. Mama called the cops to ask for a welfare check because he was suicidal and may be armed. The campus cops went to his dorm and roommate said he was weirded out and there's illegals drugs. Cops find him on campus. Either he was on foot evading arrest or in his BMW. As the cops are taking him into the station, he's videoed arrogantly asking them, "What's up?" Apparently he's not searched and pulls his gun killing one of the cops.

You are correct sir, but since he is a white dude, he will fry.

He deserves to fry but he’ll probably be declared incompetent and sent to the loony bin.

The DP should be the default sentence for 1st Degree murder.Anything less should only apply in *very* exceptional cases.

There's a video from long ago of a guy who was arrested for shooting a cop.The cop left him alone in the interrogation room for a few minutes during which time he took a sip of water and then calmly took a canon out of his waistband and blew his brains out.

I'm no expert but the thing looked real to me...not staged or photoshopped or anything.

INDIGENT? DRIVING A BMW?

Many of us would like that level of being ‘indigent’.

Something is wrong here.

Calling this turd a teen is a way to make him seem like a child. He is an adult. He chose his path. Kill a cop....

I’d argue lack of capacity coupled with sorry police work if I had to defend him. Probably not enough to get him off, but it might be enough to block the death penalty.
