Congresswoman @RepSylviaGarcia believes law enforcement are supposed to shoot out tires when attacked with a vehicle. What's worse is she told people this, setting up an unrealistic and dangerous expectation for law enforcement. Congress....she makes laws....let it sink in.
This is officer-worn body camera footage from the shooting. The red arrow that shows up when the video slows down, points to a flashlight that was attached to the suspect’s gun which was pointed at officers before they fired a combined 17 rounds at Diaz. @cbsaustin

Cambridge disabled Shot Spotter because they said it was racist. Then a black Public Works employee got shot, lay undiscovered for over an hour while bleeding out in a public park, and died because first responders didn't know a shooting happened cbsnews.com/boston/news/ca…
🚨Update on the Civil Case Against Brad: The Judge ruled that Officer Lunsford has qualified immunity! Meaning Brad cannot be held personally liable for monetary damages in the civil case. (This ruling can be appealed.) But for now this is great news for us. I have been terrified of them taking everything. I can sleep easier knowing that my babies will have a roof over their heads. Keep the prayers coming for our hero, they're definitely working! 💙
No mention that this man was running at them with a kitchen knife @baltimoresun 🤔
AUSTIN MAN beat a probation officer bloody inside a juvenile facility, then told him he'd bring his dad and uncle back to finish the job. He'd already attacked another officer in that same building a year earlier. Quinton Peterson's history with Austin prosecutors. August 2022: He punches a detention officer in the face over and over, then knees him. The officer is left with a bruised, swollen forehead. Prosecutors file no charges. October 2023: He gets mad his therapy points weren't logged. When an officer calls for help, Peterson hits him several times, leaving him bleeding. Then he tells the officer his family will come back and shoot him. Prosecutors file no charges. For a separate case -- an aggravated assault with a handgun -- Peterson got four years of probation and no prison time. He lasted 25 days. He skipped his first meeting with his probation officer, failed a drug test, and gotten arrested with a stolen handgun, a second gun, and 20 Percocet pills. The rest of his record is the same story. A stolen firearm charge, no charges filed. Illegal gun carry, dropped. Drug possession, dismissed. A felony charge for leading police on a car chase, dismissed. He's now out on an ankle monitor for a new charge: firing a gun in April 2026. Two officers beaten. A stolen gun. A police chase. He has never once faced a jury.
