Man killed in officer-involved shooting in northwest SA

Post by Frankie »

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said the suspect, a man in his 30s, somehow stole an SAPD patrol unit while officers were investigating and crashed into another car.
Chief McManus said the suspect then approached a female officer in a threatening way and she opened fire, killing the suspect.
Police said it appeared as if the suspect was unarmed at the time of the shooting.

Waiting for the family to go public with how well the deceased has been doing turning his life around and how the officer should have just tazzed or pepper sprayed him.
Not making light of the dead, I just hope that more "instant" consequences for bad behavior, results in more critical thinking before people do stupid stuff like steal patrol cars.
