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.

High school football start who got his drug charges erased through deferred adjudication; Hoping to be a starter on his college team in the fall. Aspiring singer (story doesn't say whether or not it was rap) on the cusp of turning his life around.

Unarmed black youth shot by white cop, and all he did was burglarize a car dealership and fight with a middle aged cop after driving through the plate glass into the showroom. Let's see if they can get any riots scheduled for this weekend, or if it is going to take a while for the outside agitators to show up.

The unarmed teen... drove a car into a building... I wonder what the reaction might be if someone drove a car into the Dallas Morning News?

Story doesn't quite match the headline.

I’m certainly glad that an SUV could never be used as a weapon.

They work a long time at the headline to misrepresent what happened as much as possible.

PERP: “In December, Taylor was sentenced to six months deferred adjudication for possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor, according to court records.”

COP: “He had no commendation or discipline record at the department.”

Half of the article is how fast n furious dude became a football player. is this ESPN or a crime article?

Pride said that Taylor was a “fun-loving prankster, a jokester.”
See, it was prank - just a joke. Damn white cops not be knowin'.

see post 9. Most of the article is how stunt guy became a football player more than the fact he was an asshole with a misdemeanor. 2 seconds in and I;m sure Jesse jackson bought his plane ticket by expedia..

It’s Cause and Effect, not the other way around. If you don’t like the effect then don’t produce the cause. The process cannot be back-driven but that doesn’t stop them from trying.

It would be interesting to accost someone walking in a mostly empty parking lot. You could drive a car (SUV or not) and yell out the car window -- "I will run you down! I will back over your corpse! Drop your wallet where you stand and walk away! If you do not, I'm gunning my engine!"

Would that be considered "armed robbery" or not?

Might depend on skin color. Hard to know for sure.

There SEEMS to be increasing incidents of resistance, among a certain demographic, to routine stops. Once again the impression stated is admittedly subjective. What do others think as to a possible rise in acts of resistance?
