There needs to be serious digging in to who called 911. After the bullshit here in Houston with “drug bust” that was straight up murder/execution, I wouldn’t even be shocked to find out it was called in by someone connected to the police. 

Lethal force did not look justified unless there was someone off camera in front of his car that we couldn't see that might have been injured.  

That whole thing was handled incredibly poorly.  Why not just position a police car (even unoccupied) further down the row of cars (to Ramos' right) so he couldn't flee?

What was the history with the man? What were the charges? Did he have previous violence with the police? Why did they need to roll up with 4 cop cars guns drawn?

More importantly, did he steal a pack of bubble gum when he was 11, so I can know that his murder was justified.

Or just park in front of him so he can’t leave..

In the pre-meeting, the head cop said he didn't want to do that because he thought the suspect had a gun from the 911 call and he didn't want to get too close.  Stil,l he could have easily had a car keep somewhat of a distance and still block his path.

An arrest warrant has been issued for Austin police officer Christopher Taylor on a murder charge in relation to the officer-involved shooting death of Michael Ramos, local authorities confirm.

The Austin Police Department confirmed to KXAN Wednesday night the warrant was issued in relation to the Ramos case. Travis County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Taylor’s bail was set at $100,000.

On April 24, 2020, Ramos was shot by Taylor in the parking lot of a south Austin apartment building during a confrontation with police.

Excellent.

Time for some of these fake Heroes to feel what it's like to be on the other end.
