The police officer was killed at a Walmart by an “Asian male.” The incident where Austin police killed a black man after a traffic stop was separate.

FYI....the pictures you’ve posted had nothing to do with the cop’s shooting death; they are related to a totally different story.

You mean to say the People’s Republic of Austin is not a paradise where they just keep it weird while being laid back? Say it ain’t so!!! The Wal*Mart shooting will become abundantly clear just as soon as they fully review the store video - WMT covers every square foot with a camera.

I heard about this on the radio early this morning. APD Chief had a news conference from the scene. Asian male was drunk and started fighting the officer, got a semi automatic pistol and shot the officer at point blank range.

That incident at Manor Rd and Airport Blvd is in one of the BAD parts of Austin. Nothing good happens east of IH 35. Driver fled and tried to fight the officer. PD tried to taze him, but that didn’t work. The usual “suspects” are calling in to KLBJ talking bad about the APD - AGAIN.

Austin's just keeping it weird...

On the other hand, Texans are about fed up with this sh#t. Nipple sucking parasites "acting ghetto" is about done. I'm in the medical profession and to a woman and a man, every one of my coworkers has a weapon with enough ammo to make a Yankee faint. I'm talking from the unit secretary to the 19-20 year old students volunteering and working as techs. I'd say that about 50-60% of the nurses have concealed carry permits and the rest have the second amendment.

The TOFUS and the democrat party want a race war so badly, but they are so ignorant of math. "Hispanics" HATE the African-American population worse than any Klansman. The LK's and Mexican Mafia are just itching to clear out certain types from the neighborhood. It's happened in Cali and Texas is going to be a real bloodbath if this degenerates into a shooting match.

The officer leaves behind two daughters, ages 10 and 6, and his parents.

Prayers for those girls...so sad.

He described a dramatic scene in which Walmart employees then tackled the suspect, whom he described as an Asian male, and detained him until other officers arrived.

It's good to see folks fighting back and doing the right thing!
