In capital murder cases like this one against Miles, there definitely needs to be a mandatory express lane to the the electric chair, or better yet after their trial the convicted criminal should be put down immediately following a conviction; no matter what race, age, gender, etc, and no appeal process should be granted on capital murder charges of the killing of a cop. Based on the evidence, there seems to be very little doubt Shannon J. Mills ambushed and executed the deputy in cold-blood. There is video of him doing it, there is also video of Miles vehicle at the scene at the time of the cops execution, and they found the gun used in the murder in his possession - game over.

Give the killer Miles his trial, convict him, and then permanently rid the world of this worthless and evil pile of trash.
One has to wonder if our own Harris County Sheriff may have contributed to a possible insanity defense by exclaiming that the motive was "sheer madness" at one of those press conferences when Miles identity was still uncertain to the public.. Also Miles has already been determined to be incompetent once by a state court in a state that does not cotton to the insane very often.

Other than that I appreciate your sentiments, and I do agree that swift and speedy justice is best for all concerned. However, I would be very wary of limiting any defendant/convicts, right to appeal any conviction, but especially one that involves the death penalty....

Media hype again! Look at the way this was hyped up on TV. Created breaking news by extending their newscasts 5-10 minutes; probably colluded. Humanized the officer by mentioning his family. Played to their base of white, suburban viewers and their prejudices. Many officers have been ambushed like this, but why him to create a tragedy? Why now?

Let's see: Contrast with Sandra Bland a few weeks ago. Media immediately ran with the revelation of traces of marijuana found in her remains. (Which takes about 6 weeks to excrete out of the body; insinuation that she was high at the moment of arrest and a drug addict. Never did an interview from Dean Becker to coax a sound byte as basic research about those facts.) Yelled like hyenas about the revelation and played to the ignorance of white, suburban viewers and the decades of "PSAs" from the Federal government coercing networks and local broadcasters to show blatant partisan propaganda.

Both stories manipulated by the Establishment that calls the shots. TV news in the capitalist paradise (that is the U.S.A.) looks like a clone of Pravda TV (the old U.S.S.R.). Too bad Americans don't have the sense of giving the news a benefit of doubt like the Russians did when it came on at 5:30 each evening.

only an idiot would compare the justified arrest and suicide of an irate, likely stoned, depressed woman to the merciless execution of police officer.

yes, Goforth's family was mentioned and he was humanized. contrast that with the circling buzzards of bland's family that did nothing to secure her release until the poor woman was dead at her own hand. boy that family of sandy bland sure were some good folks!

your rhetoric is humorous but tired. but by all means, keep it up. it makes for good comedy.

Seriously? #thuglifematter don't get enough mention in the liberal media?

Any other dumb idiot that suicide in jail would not even get a mention in the paper, let alone every news channel and we are still talking about the crazy druggie.

I am glad people are finally saying what need to say and stop promoting dumb agendas like Blacklivesmatter.

Yep even though the insanity defense never really does fly in Texas it's probably going to be a long ride through the appellate system, which could keep this scumbag around for another 10-15 years if he's lucky. The fact is, if cop killer Miles was competent enough to get a gun, load the gun, find a police officer, kill the man, then make a run for it and avoid being found, he knew exactly what he was doing, and knew what he did was wrong - Period!

This two-bit thug was definitely a ticking time-bomb, back in 2012, #thuglife Shannon Miles was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for nearly beating and stomping a homeless guy to death in Central Austin. According to Travis County court records , Miles knocked out a fellow resident at the Salvation Army in a fight over a TV remote, and the programs they wanted to watch on TV. The homeless man was treated for broken bones in his neck and other severe injuries. Miles definitely wasn't crazy, he was just another stupid violent thug who couldn't control himself the night he murdered deputy sheriff Darren Goforth.

This may turn out to be yet another tragic story of mental illness and about all-too-easy access to guns. It may have nothing to do with race. Yet the damage has been done. Hickman's comments have fed a national backlash against the Black Lives Matter movement, with Fox News gleefully fanning the flames, dubbing it a "Murder Movement."

I was watching when Hickman made those comments and I cringed ...when he came out off the bat politicizing the deputy's death. Blah blah..."lives matter". Isn't "all lives matter" the same as "lives matter"? I realize he was upset and emotional over what happened but he was wrong for what he did.

So the kill the pigs chant that the black live matter rally doesn't count?

The in your face calling cops murderer is ok?

You think FBI will be down here sent by our fearless leader to look for racial related crimes against the police?

You think there will be 5 white house officials to attend his funeral?

People need to stop being so politically correct and say what is right.

Crime and murder are up across the board in most of the country.

It is time we stop blaming the cops and put the blame where it should be.

The problem with the all lives matter retort is this:
Imagine for a moment that you broke your left wrist. In excruciating pain, you rush to the emergency room for treatment only to run into a doctor who insists on examining not just your mangled left wrist, but your uninjured right wrist, rib cage, femur, fibula, sacrum, humerus, phalanges, the whole bag of bones that is you. You say, “Doc, it’s just my left wrist that hurts.” And she says, “Hey, all bones matter.”

Saying all lives matter is like saying ‘The sky is blue.’ It's obvious, but it does not address the problems because regardless of what we think, black lives are generally not really included in those statements. The problem is that police brutality and malfeasance is much more likely to be exercised against black people.
