HOUSTON (AP) — A constable deputy died Sunday after a driver fired multiple shots at him during an early morning traffic stop and then took off, authorities in Texas said.

Harris County Precinct 5 Constable Ted Heap identified the fallen deputy as Cpl. Charles Galloway, 47, at a news conference.

Houston police will handle the investigation. Police Chief Troy Finner said witnesses saw a man get out of his vehicle and fire multiple shots at the deputy, then drive off.

“This is senseless. It makes no sense whatsoever,” Finner said. Heap added that Galloway had no time to respond or defend himself.

1. Senseless and tragic

Is it just me, or is this becoming more frequent??

2. Senseless and tragic, but

Maybe, something to be expected.

There are too many videos of police acting as ‘judge and executioner’;
There are too many videos of police acting against people that have committed no crime except being a POC;
There are too many videos of police acting in unlawful manners;
There are too many videos of police no longer acting like what we expect of police;

You reap of what you sow… and not saying all police are bad, but when bad police are allowed to behave badly and good cops do nothing…. Things happen.

And there are too many people that will act out - and there are some evil ass people out there too.
