Arlington police officer in training fatally shoots unarmed black teen at car dealership
A 49-year-old police trainee killed an unarmed teen burglary suspect who drove an SUV into the showroom of an Arlington car dealership early Friday.
Officer Brad Miller shot 19-year-old Christian Taylor about 1 a.m. after officers responded to a burglar alarm at Classic Buick GMC near Interstate 20 and Collins Street, police said.
Taylor, a football star and 2014 graduate of Mansfield Summit, was unarmed, police said.
The dealership’s security company reported the break-in after its cameras recorded a man there after hours, police said. Sgt. Paul Rodriguez said a burglar drove a sport utility vehicle through the dealership showroom’s glass doors.

They proceeded to act like Cowboys on a Saturday night. We even had one officer shooting at a car on Main Street. We took away the guns and disbanded the police force. We went without, only using state troopers for years.
We have police again, I couldn't say if they have guns or not...but we don't have them running down citizens.
I don't get it..I must be in a very secure area of the country...
