Florida fugitive who stabbed detective with eyeglasses during escape shot dead in Texas

1. Everyone involved in this is a fucking moron.

The perp is a fucking moron for escaping and injuring a cop in the process. And, the cops are likely asses for probable abuse of deadly force - pissed off because the guy injured one of their own.

If the guy aimed a gun at the cops as they were bearing down on him, then I have no problem with the killing.

Anything short of that and the cops were just conducting an execution.

No matter how unsavory the suspect is, or how bad his/her crime, they must be taken alive if at all possible and given proper, even-handed justice.

I am concerned about the lack of information coming from the police. If they killed him, they should be able to say right now exactly why they killed him. Instead, they're not confirming if he was armed, threatening, or in possession of items from the burglarized home. This is suspicious to me - like they're hiding something or buying time to "get the story straight", if you know what I mean.

Police killing suspects during the chase and seemingly on a whim is on the severe uptick in this country. We have a problem.
