But that's a big coincidence.

The hatred from racial animosity is poisoning our country.

"vengeance" consequence for his testimony.

Devastating.

it was probably committed by LEO.

it's tragic that's for sure. I hope there is no connection.

History will absolve me - this was an assassination.

up the road from million dollar homes..he was murdered..

By the way that was my first thought.

How interesting

when they want to send a message

Don't you dare speak

Damn!

He was shot last year at a bar too, and was supposed to testify against the shooter.

I had a feeling this was going to happen, but as usual, DU jumps to conclusions. Sigh.

This is nice and neat

No, that never happens.

So much more cheerful to believe the cops are out assassinating citizens.

It would be interesting to see what caliber he was shot with. Service weapons?


Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that solving this just won't be put at any high priority level?

1.) Joshua Brown's testimony helped put an ex-cop in prison.

2.) Amber Guyger is white.

3.) Joshua Brown was black.

Highly suspicious

Some of the "dirty" cops keep throw-away guns for situations like this, or when they want to plant a gun on a dead suspect.
Not saying this was the case, but don't expect the bullet to lead back to a police issue gun.

the perpetrators would have to be among the stupidest criminals alive if they used an easily traceable weapon.

Still......We are possibly talking about a revenge killing here, so who knows.

Not to mention if it is true this was dirty cops, the cops will be investigating the cops! So again, I don't hold much hope for an accurate, much less swift resolution.

Any gun the cops use are also common and available to the civilian market, so knowing it was a Glock doesn't really narrow it down, unless they have ballistics data on all the police-issued guns and start comparing bullets.

A very large percentage of semi-auto pistols sold are either 9mm, .40 S&W, or .45 ACP, which are the most common police service cartridges, so those are not distinctive in any way.

It's possible the DPD might use a type of ammo that is law enforcement specific, so that is a potential source of useful evidence.

Joshua Brown was a drug dealer, he was carrying a gun, and he shot first.

He was also shot in a bar last year. Have you been shot? Probably not, and me neither. This guy lived a dangerous life.

Live by the gun, die by the gun.

Glad to see a quick resolution.

It's also good to know that this wasn't what it looked like it COULD have been.

I would think if you didn’t want a witness to testify, you’d kill him BEFORE the court date.

Time to ge out of there.

He was shot in the mouth.

It was tweeted by the attorney

My guess it was rogue cops of someone connected to cops. What a sick mess. They wanted that murderer to get off.

I guess everyone has decided to ignore the fact they have two in custody and one they’re looking for.

Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good conspiracy theory.

somehow I hear the words, "vengence is mine" growling in the background. Grandstanding of ideology in such a volatile case can be like pouring salt on the wound of a vengeful mind. Stupidity sometimes is soul deep.

Sick!

I can't help but think of what we used to call police in the '60s.

But I wouldn't say it any more than I'd say the N-word.

They just do NOT care!

There are---or should be---NO consequences

I remember the same in the thread about the little girl who reported her dreads being cut.

Why can’t we wait and see what happens?

What do you expect when a man is murdered immediately after testifying against a crooked cop?! Fer chrissake, don’t you think it more unlikely that he was the victim of a random act of violence?

Someone has legitimately been murdered.

Sorry, I’ve seen this kind of thing before on DU.

Shooters immediately assumed to be white MAGA males, only to find out they weren’t. This has happened many times.

I just hate seeing this before facts are known.

Do we?

A man who just testified against a racist cop who got put away for a racist murder got murdered.

That’s what happened.

who shot him in a nightclub last year. So things really are not quite as cut and dried as we might think.

In the case brought by Botham Jean’s family.

“a drug deal gone wrong.”

So there ya go.

Too funny.

You have centuries of historical precedent and suddenly everyone around here is shocked when people don’t take the cop’s word as gospel.

Funny if it weren’t so fucking sad.

Do you think the good-ole-boy network is a figment of our imagination?

What is also not funny is silly conspiracy theories. This young man was shot last year by another young man. That is not funny either.

Two men have been arrested for this murder. Why is it so hard for you to admit you were wrong? I see nothing funny.

His testimony from the trial is taken down and could be used in that event.

Trashing this thread.

As usual, DU jumps to a conclusion, which is proved wrong, but people will twist themselves into pretzels just to justify some conspiracy theory they desperately want to believe.

And in that case, the girl had actually made the claim. This is just a knee jerk conclusion.

Link to tweet

Killed while selling drugs to some criminals.

He was carrying too, and he even was the one who shot first.

Funny how no one cares about this guy now the truth has come out. Smh.

Of course, Brown was the dealer; they just came to buy.

Why am I not surprised?

Drug deal shooting.

of getting shot wouldn't it?

Apparently he was the one selling. He also shot first when the fight began.

This guy was no angel.

Dallas police said they arrested one and are looking for two more Louisiana men who killed him in a drug deal gone bad.
