SAPD fires officer who shot teen outside McDonald’s restaurant, releases video of incident
$1:
The San Antonio Police Department on Wednesday fired a police officer who shot a teenager outside a McDonald’s restaurant less than a week ago.
Brennand had been placed under administrative duty following the shooting on Sunday outside the fast food restaurant in the 11700 block of Blanco Road near West Avenue. According to SAPD, Brennand was fired for violating departmental tactics and procedures.
James Brennand was a probationary police officer who served on the force for seven months, SAPD said. Officers are on probation for one year after graduating from the police academy.
According to an SAPD report, Brennand responded to a call for a disturbance at 10:45 p.m. and attempted to gather information from witnesses when he noticed a vehicle that had evaded him the day before as he attempted a traffic stop because the registered license plate didn’t match the vehicle. The report said the prior incident wasn’t related to the disturbance call at the restaurant.
Brennand suspected the car was stolen and called for cover. But before other officers arrived, Brennand walked up to the car and opened the door, where two teens were inside eating food.
Erik Cantu, 17, put the vehicle in reverse with the door still open and started driving, the report said. The door hit Brennand, and that’s when he opened fire.
Cantu then shifted to drive forward and tried to drive away, and Brennand continued to fire into the back of the car.

Absolutely infuriating to watch. The would be murderer opens the door, doesn't identify himself, and within a moment of non-compliance he starts shooting.
That was a person who became a cop because he wanted to shoot people and nothing more.

West Virginia again. Must be something in the water there. On a side note, I just recently learned that a federal law has put a stop to all tobacco sales to individuals under 21 years of age. This law passed several years ago, and I was not aware of it. I would have thought that there would have been a larger pushback against the law. I have mixed emotions. I hate tobacco. Tobacco killed my father, and helped cause several heart attacks and a stroke with my mother. The plant serves no purpose other than putting people in the ground. I can't think of a more useless plant. That said, it is a free country. People should be adults at 18 years of age. If they get arrested at 18, they go to adult court and adult jail. Plenty of people under 21 come home in a body bag serving in the armed forces. I have a problem with adults being treated as less than adults when it comes to substances that may not be good for them like alcohol, weed, and tobacco. I am all for cutting down the use of tobacco, but giving people criminal records for having a vice is not the way to do it. Just my two cents on the subject.

How Discovery Channel’s ‘MythBusters’ Helped a Wrongly Convicted Man Prove His Innocence
$1:
Detective Victor Switski, who led the interrogation, handcuffed Mr. Galvan to a wall and proceeded to interrogate and intimidate him for hours, pressuring the 18-year-old to implicate others in the crime in order for him to return home. Deceptive tactics — like offering leniency in exchange for a confession or falsely telling children they can go home if they confess — have been identified as risk factors for false confessions, and young people are especially vulnerable to falsely confessing as a result of these tactics.

It's a good start. It really ought to be charges of attempted murder though. Meanwhile, the kid is still on life support.

I was afraid they'd have guns.
