San Antonio family vies for a spot in the Ghetto Lottery

SAPD shot a shit head and he died. The family is upset. I don’t know why. His death paid the ante for the family to enter the Ghetto Lottery. I especially like the quote from his mama. Look beond the quote.

”They shot my son from behind, and that’s wrong. They shot him nine times, and nobody here has nothing to say to me. Nobody has nothing to say,” Garcia said, gesturing toward the officers on Monday.

At the time mama made the statement, Kevin’s body was rapidly assuming the ambient temperature. The investigation had just begun. Who knows how many shots were fired or if they struck the dearly departed? Mama says nine and that’s good enough for the MSM.

The investigation is ongoing. Other than the fact that Johnson was DRT nothing else was known. There were no ballistics, autopsy report, in-depth interview and no review of the body cam footage. Wouldn’t it be newsworthy to point that out?

For the sake of argument, let’s accept that witnesses heard nine shots fired. Johnson had a gun. Might he have fired? Call me cynical but nine shots, nine hits. Most cops can’t score that well on the range against paper targets. Accuracy tends to suffer even more in an actual shooting situation. If the SAPD officers did hit nine out of nine times I have only one thing to say. Great shooting!

Not found in the article but included in the comment section is a purported criminal history for Johnson. I suspect the history reflects bookings into Bexar County and doesn’t reflect convictions. It also doesn’t include arrests that may have occurred outside of Bexar County. The story indicates that Johnson was a convicted felon and thus prohibited from possessing a firearm and that he was a fugitive. Not sorry that he’s gone.
