Man killed by Texas police after intervening in dispute, family says

A former Hardin-Simmons University football player was shot and killed by police after intervening in a fight between a man and a woman at a gas station in Texas, his family said.statement

The Texas Rangers, through a spokesman, Lonny Haschel, confirmed Monday that they were investigating the shooting at the request of the Wolfe City Police Department.that when she learned her only son had been shot, she rushed to the gas station."They wouldn't let me get close to my baby," she said."I just wanted to hold his hands. They wouldn't let me do that."Price's sister, April Louis, told WFAA her brother was well regarded.

"When police arrived, I'm told, he raised his hands and attempted to explain what was going on," Merritt said Sunday."Police fired tasers at him and when his body convulsed from the electrical current, they 'perceived a threat' and shot him to death." "I understand you're angry. I understand you're sad and broken. We all are," Middlebrooks said."Most people in that town are behind Jonathan and everything he was about and who he is and who he was as a person. And the legacy he'll leave."

It’s 2020, not 1620. A Police officer thinking of shooting a black men MUST give these officers pause. They must know what will follow. This can be nothing but intentional police - I can’t even say brutality- murder.

This shit has got to stop. Texas Rangers worried about unrest? Arrest the officer just like you would anyone else that kills an unarmed man in cold blood.

Fucking unacceptable. Hope the officer gets charged, and imprisoned.

STOP KILLING BLACK PEOPLE!!!

Time for some free Jordans

What do you expect it’s american police .. in Texas...

I hope this isn’t true

🤯🤯🤯😭😭😭

I’m so tired of hearing about Black men being killed by police officers. WTf? This guy didn’t do a damn thing wrong.

Where is the body cam or store video?

Just another day in MAGA Land. Trump is just minutes away from a tweet celebrating this.

Well, if his family says then it must be true. I’m sure there aren’t any other facts, right?

Sad.

ACAB!!! LOCK SHAUN LUCAS UP NOW!!!!!

He was a black man stood up for women and supported police officers.. and yet ..

Why involve yourself in that kind of situation? I'm not blaming the victim, the police response was criminal. Just don't do it. Way more bad outcomes than good ones, regardless of your race.

He was also a proponent of 'back the blue' and to show their thanks for backing them.. they murdered him

“Man killed by Texas police “is an improvement from “ black man killed by Texas police” . What the hell happen?

Don't rush to judgement. Wait until ALL OF THE FACTS are released.
