"Over the course of Carter's eight-year law career in Texas, he has held nine jobs at eight agencies, including two stints at the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, files kept by the state agency for licensing peace officers show."

There is the answer for the shooting.

How tragic!!!

So sad for the victim's family. I am holding back on judgment until the investigation is complete.

From the initial news report I read, It sounds like the cop might have been provoked to legally shoot him but I still can't fathom "4-6 shots" as heard by the neighbor if the guy had no gun on him.

I am too holding back judgment into more information comes out.

Agree with you. There is simply not enough contained in the story to even begin to formulate an opinion either way. It does seem odd that the officer involved felt the need to fire repeatedly, and the actions the officer accused the victim of seem out of character based on interviews. Hopefully, this is not another incident where the dashcam was "not working" or the incident took place off camera.

How does one go from "speeding and driving erratically" to executed in ten minutes?

This officer's background and story is troubling.

That said, the notion that any officer should be subject to a brutal beating (assuming that happened) without the ability to use whatever force required to stop the attacker, is nonsense.

Very easily all you have to do is attack a man carrying a gun who has a right to use it in self defense. If that is what really happened.
