Funny how your title and the title of the article were identical albeit that one preposition, but ok then friend. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

It's actually not in 77433 or 77429, so technically not in Cypress although near, 1-2 miles away. Anyways I'll shutup now about my aside and let the thread get back on track. My condolences to the family.

It's about ****ing time you did.
My condolences to his family, seems like this crap is happening more and more, whether you're IN, or AROUND, Cypress, Houston, Katy, or wherever.

Those people are the ones who are heartbreaking.
The current race relation is way out of whack. You can blame the current president, the media, and the race baiters to blow up like this.

The black folks have been feed by the media so many injustice that everything now is racism. Everything have to be politically correct or you are a racist.

I can tell you for a fact majority of people are tired of this BS. Don't go glorify black thugs and lunatics and then say he didn't do nothing. No he is not going to college after robbing a liquor store. No he is not a promising young man after trying to destroy cars. No she is not a good person after resisting arrest and smoking drugs before going to first day of work.

When I was fresh out of school and didn't know how to walk straight, a black man gave me an opportunity and I will be forever grateful. I have done the same in my career for a few young black men that want to be productive people and want to make something of themselves.

So call me whatever you like, but it won't bother me one bit.

You should start a separate thread called "racism and my own stupidity" so you can discuss all of that BS with yourself. We're talking about a police officer being executed in a gas station parking lot last night.

Unfortunately the news spouts stories before anything is verified. When I posted the link that they had caught him that's the story that was being reported...now the story has changed to no one has been arrested and they are only questioning people.

And which movement would that be? The movement to stop the execution of police officers? The movement to prevent random gun violence? The movement to call out stupidity on City Data? The movement to ridicule those who spread that stupidity on City Data?

Which movement did you have in mind?

Every group has it's racists. No race is immune from having racists within it.

An arrest has officially been made in the Cypress Texas officer shooting, it's not 100% clear that the person arrested was the person of interest taken into custody early this AM.
