The ' leaders ' of your city are 2 Billionaires who have bought just about every politician and cop and judge. Into this mess Talarico does not stand a snowballs chance of becoming a Texan voted in by other Texans who would not recognize Decency if they saw it and heard it 50 times .

When you try to run over someone with your car you turn your vehicle into a lethal weapon. It's just like pulling a gun. If you don't want to get shot don't try to run over a law enforcement officer. It's pretty simple really. So it takes 30 years working to get your citizenship status on order. Must not have been working at it too hard. I don't care how hard working he was. If he came here illegally he has stolen his place in line. If I stole a car 30 years ago. The car is still stolen. I am tired of the excuses that are allowed to be made for these people. Decisions have consequences. Bad decisions reap bad consequences.

What the media is NOT telling you:
He was here illegally and resisted arrest to the point of using his vehicle as a weapon to get away.

The irony is all the people upset about this didnt give af about the Metcalf family.

Thousands and thousands of videos and countless laws show it's VERY American to use lethal force against humans
@
well, for right now I say that the officer did the correct thing until they can show that he did not.
In any case even if he did unjustly unalive him, he still had some responsibility in that because he ran from officers in a vehicle

We can do better, America. If you voted Trump in 2024 I seriously hope you're reconsidering. If this tragedy unfolds the way the killing of Renee Good did, then we need to be honest about the fact that accountability for government agencies is gone. What we have now is a system where loyalty to Trump takes higher precedence than things like justice or equality. This is historically known as authoritarianism, and for a long time has been something that we as Americans stood against

It's so sad that he had 3 very "educated" sons that didn't seek to insure their father's immigration status was legal. That's a statement coming from a first generation American with Mexican born parents that were legally in the USA.

ICE playing the old vehicle weaponization card again.
@
Fighting HATE with HATE is NOT the answer or using the Race Card! They also mentioned misinformation about Homeland Security so it's hard to take these speaker's seriously but look forward to the final investigation and what's found. 🇺🇲
@
How dare he play the victim card he and his father were in the wrong! Giving true citizens a bad name! He was evading taxes and arrest for 35 years!!
@
He was working on getting citizenship the right way. Don’t start with stupid bigotry!!! Regardless of status… it is not the law that they can kill humans.
@
My father got his citizenship when he first got here over 43 years ago why didn't your father??

Very eloquent, extremely sad 😞
