I fucking hate that you’re right but I can hear my conservative aunt saying it right now
I really hope the investigation doesn't die with him. If he really was some kind of predator or creep, his reputation shouldn't be allowed to go into the grave intact.
Besides, you know half the department was in on it with him. He probably committed suicide with three shots to the back of the head.
Under the Texas Penal Code, invasive visual recording is a state felony and applies when someone is accused of photographing or videotaping someone's intimate area without consent, videotaping in a bathroom or changing room, or receiving sexually explicit videos or pictures and forwarding it to another person.
Oh, now Texas has a problem with invading people's intimate areas!? I can't keep up.
It’s consistent in their minds. Their innocent virgin daughters need to be protected, but the filthy whores who made them commit adultery need to be punished.
“Protect mine and me but not theirs and thee”
Well, we all already probably know what this sickie was up to.
Probably, but not necessarily in the way you'd think.
[...] or receiving sexually explicit videos or pictures and forwarding it to another person.
Apparently a lot of the NSFL/shock images online come from cops sharing photos from the crime scene/autopsy reports/other visual evidence among each other. My guess is he was caught sharing pictures of abuse victims or something along those lines, if he thought it was bad enough it wouldn't just be swept under the rug.
So what's the bet on him being guilty guys? /s
Well at least he shot a bad guy with a gun instead of a good guy with a gun
We don't know that for sure. It appears that way, but the dude could have been mentally unwell, with the investigation being the tipping point.
This almost certainly means he was doing way worse things than what has been reported. He knew it was over.
The first assumption I had is that he recorded kids or installed a camera in a public bathroom for weeks and sold these records. It should be something that pressing for him to not think he'd be saved by a police union. I'd be surprised if it's something less that that.
The stuff that was reported should honestly be enough for it to be over already, no need for anything worse.
I mourn the loss of the truth and the chance at real justice for the victims.
Guess he had something to hide
They even managed to use the passive voice when the person the cop killed was himself. Bravo media, truly exceptional.
