Campus Cop in Texas Shoots Student To Death





[From article]
Neighbour Mohammad Haidaras told My San Antonio that he heard a tense exchange between Redus and Carter sixty seconds before shots rang out.
He told the website: 'I heard (a man) say, 'Oh, you're gonna shoot me?' like sarcastic almost.'
[. . .]
Lieutenant Cindy Pruitt of the Alamo Heights Police Department told KSAT that the incident occurred about 2am in the parking lot of the Tree House apartments in the 100 block of Grandview Place off Broadway, where Redus was a resident.
[. . .]
According to Pruitt, Carter tried to pull him over on Broadway for driving erratically, despite the fact that Redus was off-campus.
[. . .]
University officials describe him as having 'extensive law enforcement background.'
According to records viewed by My San Antonio, Carter has had nine jobs at eight different agencies over his eight-year law enforcement career.
He rarely stayed in any job for more than a year and the two years and seven months as a campus officer for UIW was the longest stint in his career.

Here's what happens when you give guns and badges to half wits who are negligently trained and go wild with their power. It is why police need constant scrutiny. In Mass there is no scrutiny and the police are out of control. After many instances that I saw of Harvard University campus police exercising power contrary to state law, having been negligently trained, I wrote about them and have been relentlessly harassed and provoked and slandered for many years. It shows that my criticism is accurate. If they were trained properly they would not retaliate for criticism and they would recognize their role in this formerly free society. LIke many Harvard University campus cops who abuse their power, this Texas campus cop was not on university property when he took the life of the student. Harvard campus oops share this misguided belief about their limited power. Harvard University egoistic police share this man's misguided belief that they have power everywhere. It comes with the guns and the badges. Problem is that faculty enjoy favors, e.g., having their critics arrested by the Harvard campus cops, from their abusive police, students newspapers print the misguided police propaganda about their powers, and the students blindly follow and obey them.
