Police in Arlington, TX had their hands full after an officer-involved shooting that left one dead and an officer seriously wounded. The dead man’s family demanded to know why 20-year-old Tre’Shun Miller ended up dead after a simple traffic stop.
The family presented the media with the photo above. Meanwhile, for anyone looking, Tre’Shun’s Facebook page provided a treasure trove of photos indicating crime:
Of course, most folks don’t dig that deep. But the Arlington PD didn’t disappoint.
Days after the family challenged the cops for proof of what happened, Arlington PD delivered. They released the bodycam video showing Tre’Shun’s final felonious moments before crumpling to the dirt with his pants down.
NBCDFW covered the family’s outcry.
The family of 20-year-old Tre’Shun Miller says the shooting, which also left an officer wounded, is leading to questions they believe may be answered by viewing the police body camera footage.
“We’re talking about somebody that’s failure to use the traffic light to turn the lane and someone ended up being dead,” said Dominique Alexander, of the Next Generation Action Network. “Everybody in America should try to find out how, time after time, a traffic stop turns into a fatality.”
Justin Moore, Miller family attorney, said people who were in the car gave a different account of what happened than police, claiming the officer fired first.
“They saw Tre’Shun immediately exit the car and begin to flee. They saw him get shot, fall to the ground, and then return fire,” said Moore. “What we really need is bodycam evidence to corroborate our theory or to disprove it.”

Takin out the trash
When I was still working, all of the cops i worked with or knew loved guys who wore their pants around their a$$. Get into a foot pursuit and they’re as good as leg irons.

That’s bullshit. Belts are provided in general population. Now that doesn’t mean that the younger prisoners don’t TRY to wear their pants like that. In fact, one of the sentences I said most upon entering the cell block was “ dude, pull up your damn psnts!”

Maybe “Big Bubba” the cell mate made them wear their pants loose for easy access?
For someone who just signed up, you won’t be here long.
