*Talk about a case of lopsided justice. Daniel Lopez is set to be executed at 6 p.m. tonight by lethal injection in Huntsville, Texas. He was convicted of killing a veteran police officer in 2009.
But before you go judging Lopez you should know this: He didn’t point a gun and shoot this officer. There was no altercation where he got the upper hand. The officer’s death was the result of an automobile chase. Lopez was fleeing police in a high speed chase when he hit Corpus Christi Police Lieutenant Stuart Alexander, 47, who had been placing spikes on the road to flatten tires.
Lopez’s car struck the officer and sent him flying 175Â feet (53 meters) in the air, according to court documents.
It is a very unfortunate incident indeed. And certainly one that Lopez should rightfully be held accountable for. But death by execution? Especially when so many cops continue to kill African American suspects...intentionally, and not be held accountable.
What’s wrong with this picture?
