A 49-year-old police trainee killed an unarmed teen burglary suspect who drove an SUV into the showroom of an Arlington car dealership early Friday.

...

The dealership’s security company reported the break-in after its cameras recorded a man there after hours, police said. Sgt. Paul Rodriguez said a burglar drove a sport utility vehicle through the dealership showroom’s glass doors.

When police arrived they found Taylor in the showroom and approached him. Police said Miller shot Taylor after an “altercation.” Taylor died at the scene, according to the Tarrant County medical examiner’s office.

Yeah man so here I was minding my own business, you know driving my car through an auto dealership plate glass window and who doesn’t like to do that on a fun Friday?

Well, he was known for his practical jokes. It was probably just part of the set up.

Arlington doesn’t have the demographics to support a homegrown Amish riot.

“Arlington doesn’t have the demographics to support a homegrown Amish riot.”

They will have to commute 5 miles from the east side of Ft. Worth.

I’m trying to think of how many times I’ve heard of police reports stating that they were assaulted with a vehicle, which in later prosecution, was considered a deadly weapon. Plenty as I recall, yet this ‘yoot’ was unarmed? Does he belong to one of the ‘preferred’ classes?

If there are enough flat screens and pharmacies available, folks will come in from Fort Worth and Dallas.

What do others think as to a possible rise in acts of resistance?

You get your name in the papers?
Or maybe it's for the neat T-shirts your survivors get to sell.

People who claim to feel this way and then go out and act like anti-social morons are either full of crap liars or tthe dumbest people on earth. Either way, no great loss to humanity.

Maybe if Mr. Student Athlete had been at home, studying his Differential Equations, he wouldn't have found himself, GASP!!!, shot and dead.

And for all the 19 year-old defensive backs who expect to physically attack 49 year-old men and get a "fair fight," guess what? I'm just shooting your ass.

I am not talking about criminals, i made that crystal clear.

Criminals and thugs hate anyone in authority that would stop them. They hate people in general. They are criminal thugs.

I’ve been saying this for years - you can just as credibly be “armed” with an assaultive intent. AKA Michael Brown.
