 looks like when cops get road rage its ok for them to shoot you;


Austin, TX — An Austin man, Alexander Gonzales, 27, was shot dead after an interaction with an off-duty cop that started on a highway. The officer claimed Gonzales cut him off and brandished a gun, so he followed the man and shot at him six times — as they drove down the road — hitting Gonzales and his female passenger. The couple’s baby was in the backseat of the car.

Cellphone footage was shared online in January, however, Austin Police released video Wednesday showing what dash cameras and body cameras captured that night. It does not look good for the officers involved.

Originally, police refused to speculate on whether or not the shooting was an act of road rage. However, they are now fully admitting it because the video captured Austin police Officer Gabriel Gutierrez saying those very words.

“Um, it was a road rage incident. I was driving and he cut me off, and he pointed a gun at me,” Gutierrez said on the 911 call. Though Gutierrez claimed his victim pointed a gun at him, this is not seen in the video. What’s more, when Gutierrez shoots Gonzales, Gonzales did not have a gun in his hand. He was simply appeared to be checking on his baby in the back seat.

“The officer fired at the suspect at this point. Multiple rounds were fired by the officer,” Austin Police Chief Brian Manley said at the time of the shooting.

Though police claim Gonzales pointed a gun at the off-duty cop, they admit he never fired it. What’s more, they refer to Gonzales as the suspect despite the officer shooting him. 

Bystander video captured the moments after Gonzales came to a halt. When the off-duty officer opened fire on Gonzales, he also shot the innocent woman in the passenger seat. Luckily, the one-year-old baby in the back seat did not also become a victim......read and watch more.....
