Can't believe nobody has commented about the paper plates on the perps shiny new Jeep Grand Wagoneer.

I live right off the exit to Eastern on the Kilpatrick Turnpike so this almost really did hit close to home.

The fleeing suspect was killed in a shootout moments later.

So a happy ending

saving the taxpayers of Oklahoma money, one less thug taking up legal system resources, and stopping who know how many future crimes. Give this guy a medal.

Do cop cars have bullet proof windows?

Not yet but there's a College Station company that's developed a clear film that makes glass bullet proof up to a .45 and they're working on another product that will stop a 7.62. Better still the officer can shoot through it from the inside. Last week they had a fundraiser in town helping to raise money to help agencies afford the $7500 it takes to outfit a vehicle. It's coming.

Really makes you think

We saw that chase. We were coming home from the kids' basketball games and the pursuit happened right in front of us at the intersection. Apparently he was firing just before he sped by us.

It gets better. Look at the statement from family.

His mom Lisa says he ended up here in Oklahoma because he was on a wellness journey.

"He is a wonderful son, father, business owner, a master welder and he is dearly missed," said Lisa Carswell.

Troopers say Carswell caught their attention because he was wanted in connection to an armed robbery in Arizona.

However, his mom says he just stole watermelon.

"He was there on a wellness journey. Camping and being spiritual. He had been there for a bit and doing things he liked to do in his last moments. I am really upset about this."

In the dashcam video, you can see Carswell fire at officers.

Family members say he got out and began playing the bongo drums and that's when troopers shot and killed him.

Why do all these arrest resisting low lives have mothers/family members defending their actions even when there is clear evidence to the contrary? After reading these articles for years, I truly believe that it takes at least one of three things to resist arrest and then complain about the consequences:

1. Being on drugs and truly not being yourself in the moment
2. Psychiatric problems
3. Narcissism coupled with strong co-dependent behavior from family

All the "he was a good boy", " he was going to college", "he was just scared" etc…. That excusing of bad behavior was going on long before the perp tried to kill cops. If he is on video trying to kill police officers and this is the response from the mother, what other atrocities has this guy done that his mother has covered up or brushed off?

They do it so they can get money. They don't actually care that the person died.

This and a cat shield should come standard on Houston civilian cars.

From the story:
" Carswell's family worries he was shot because of his race, and believes the situation didn't have to end this way."

Also, his mom: he was "killed over a pair of watermelons."

How could that trooper drive so well w/out his massive balls getting in the way?
