So he sees a car that "evaded" him on a different day. He calls for back-up, THEN PROCEEDS TO MOVE FORWARD TOWARDS A SITUATION HE DEEMED DANGEROUS!

He then snatches open the vehicle door, scaring the driver into a fight or flight situation and then he proceeds to fire his weapon until it's empty?

What the fukk?!
And then calls in “shots fired” with a frantic tone as if he is under heavy gun fire


Abusing the public trust in this way should have very severe punishments

This is the type of person a lot of these police forces seek. It is only a problem when they mess up so bad that no lies can fix it and time does not make people forget. They literally X out people who do too well on the police exams to hire these meathead idiots to police our streets with guns in hand ready to shoot at the slightest perceived provocation (especially when the target is Black).

That teenager was shocked to see his door opened and a gun in his face, the former officer's actions looked more like a carjacker than a government official. Of course, that kid's possible reaction would be flight. I hope all the charges are dropped and that child comes out of this with a hefty payout from the city.
That hefty payout should come from the police pension fund

Man I wish, but the politicians seem to protect that fund like their lives depend on it. Perhaps, maybe they do?
Wouldn’t be surprised if some ‘thin blue line’ extortion was going on, in addition to their grossly expanding police budgets as politicians prioritize militarizing the police force - if so, can only hope for the truth to come to light :francis:

Teen shot in McDonald’s parking lot was not driving stolen car, police say​

SAN ANTONIOUpdate Oct. 13, 2 p.m.: SAPD confirmed the license plates did not belong to the vehicle Cantu was operating but reiterated that the vehicle was not stolen. “Due to the ongoing investigation, this is all we can provide,” police said.


Original report: The teenager who was shot by a San Antonio Police Officer in a McDonald’s parking lot was not driving a stolen vehicle, police confirmed to KSAT Thursday.

Erik Cantu, 17, was shot multiple times on Oct. 2 by former SAPD officer James Brennand.

“I got a vehicle here that fled from me the other day,” Brennand stated in the body-worn camera footage.

Brennand said he suspected the car Cantu was driving was stolen, but San Antonio police now confirm that wasn’t the case.

“We can confirm that the vehicle was not a stolen vehicle,” a spokesperson with SAPD told KSAT via email.

The camera footage released by SAPD following the incident shows Brennand approaching the red sedan, while Cantu and a female passenger were eating inside.

The footage shows Brennand opening the door of the vehicle without warning as Cantu looks up from his meal.

Brennand can be heard saying, “get out of the car” and the teenager asks, “why” and puts the vehicle in reverse.

Brennand then attempts to physically remove Cantu from the vehicle and that’s when the teen reverses out of the parking spot with the door still open. The door of the car appears to make contact with Brennand who then fires multiple rounds into the vehicle with Cantu and the female passenger still inside.

“There is no question in anybody’s mind looking at that video that the shooting is not justified,” San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said earlier this week.

The Cantu family has since hired attorney Brian Powers who sent KSAT the following statement from the family Thursday morning:

“Sadly, Erik is still on life support for his lungs. He is currently fighting a high fever and remains attached to mechanical ventilation. We are grateful for your support, love, and prayers. Erik feels your presence. Please continue to believe and hope that our boy opens his eyes soon.”

Brennand, 27, was fired three days after the shooting.

Nine days after the shooting, Brennand was charged with two counts of aggravated assault by a public servant, a first-degree felony. His bond was set at $200,000 and a hearing was set for Nov. 23.
