Is BLM starting to influence district attorneys?



(CNN)A Texas police officer stands charged with murder in the shooting of a 31-year-old Black man after a preliminary investigation determined his actions were unreasonable, authorities said.

Wolfe City officer Shaun Lucas responded to a call about a possible fight after 8 p.m. Saturday, just north of the city center, the Texas Department of Public Safety said. Wolfe City is about 70 miles northeast of Dallas.

"Officer Lucas made contact with a man, later identified as 31-year-old Jonathan Price, who was reportedly involved in the disturbance. Officer Lucas attempted to detain Price, who resisted in a non-threatening posture and began walking away," a DPS statement said.

Lucas used his Taser and then fired his weapon, hitting Price, the statement said. Price died at a hospital, according to the statement. "The preliminary investigation indicates that the actions of Officer Lucas were not (objectively) reasonable," it said.

Price was intervening in a domestic dispute and was never violent before Lucas shot him, said S. Lee Merritt, the attorney for Price's family.

"The situation was resolved before law enforcement arrived, according to witnesses," the attorney said. "Why this officer still felt the need to tase and shoot Jonathan is beyond comprehension."

Attorney Robert Rogers, who is representing Lucas, said Price "did not claim to be an uninvolved, innocent party" before Lucas attempted to detain him.

"After Mr. Price refused repeated instructions and physically resisted, Officer Lucas deployed his Taser and continued to give Mr. Price instructions. Mr. Price resisted the effects of the Taser and attempted to take it away from Officer Lucas," Rogers said in a statement Tuesday night. "Officer Lucas only discharged his weapon in accordance with Texas law when he was confronted with an aggressive assailant who was attempting to take his Taser."

A preliminary autopsy report from the Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office provided few details, aside from the cause of death: gunshot wounds. A full report is expected in six to eight weeks.

Texas Rangers booked Lucas into the Hunt County Jail on Monday. It's not clear where Lucas is being held or if he's bonded out. He is not listed on Hunt County's online jail roster.

Again, why not just comply with Porky Pig, give him his power trip but live to see another day? Trying to take a taser away from a cop...no bueno. :facepalm

Per some chart in another thread, George Soros is a conspiracy theory. Nonetheless:

2016: https://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/george-soros-criminal-justice-reform-227519

2018: https://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-prosecutor-campaign-20180523-story.html


The effort is part of a years-long campaign by liberal groups to reshape the nation’s criminal justice system. New York billionaire George Soros headlines a consortium of private funders, the American Civil Liberties Union and other social justice groups and Democratic activists targeting four of the 56 district attorney positions up for election on June 5. Five other California candidates are receiving lesser support.

The cash infusion in the nonpartisan elections turns underdog challengers into contenders for one of the most powerful positions in local justice systems, roiling conventional law-and-order politics.




Phillips credits Soros’ team for scripting and paying for his television ad. Fundraising help came from a senior advisor to Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign, now at the helm of Real Justice, a political action committee with a mission to “fix our broken justice system” that is underwritten by Cari Tuna, the wife of Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz. Other national advocates and philanthropists provide writing services and media coaching.
At the same time, Black Lives Matter activists were holding near-daily protests on the doorstep of Phillips’ opponent, career prosecutor Anne Marie Schubert. They demanded Schubert press charges against officers who earlier this year, searching for a burglary suspect, shot and killed an unarmed black man named Stephon Clark. To keep demonstrators at a distance, Schubert surrounded her office with a 10-foot fence.

2020: Antifa/BLM is allowed to riot for 4 months straight mainly without charges being brought. And to post the bail so the rioters arrested could get out some hours later and join the next day, the democrats and celebs donated and asked you to do the same.
Then, like magic, when "the polls started to show that the riots were now hurting the democrats", the anarchists seem to stop or tone it down massively.

IMO it's not organic development, but fueled by Soros(and others) funding both BLM/Antifa as well as those prosecutors.

Antifa has been in the streets of Portland for a long time, where do they get money for food, clothing, place to live, daily hygiene, shields, fireworks, gas for molotovs, helmets, umbrellas, leaf blowers, cameras and whatever else they used for their daily protests from night to morning?
