I'm still having a hard time with this... why are they mentioning what a protestor said (bolded below) if they don't know if Juruary went to or attended any of these protests or was part of the BLM movement? 

Alleged Texas Cop Killer Charged: Attended Same University as Sandra Bland

HOUSTON, Texas – Authorities in Harris County have identified the alleged killer of a Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy as Shannon Juruary Miles, 31. Breitbart Texas has learned that Miles has an extensive history with law enforcement in Harris County.

Miles is the registered owner of the 2002 red Ford Ranger that law enforcement appeared to search on Friday night outside the home where Miles lives. The Ford was being sought after police obtained security video from the gas station where Deputy Darren Goforth was killed. They also had a description of the vehicle from witnesses.

Miles is being charged with capital murder involving the killing of a police officer.

The suspect allegedly walked up behind Deputy Goforth and began shooting without warning. Sheriff Ron Hickman said, during a Saturday press conference attended by Breitbart Texas, that Goforths only “offense” was the clothing he was wearing (a deputy’s uniform.) This is the only profession there is where you can be killed simply for the clothing you wear to work, Hickman told reporters.

Authorities said they did not charge Miles last night because they were confirming facts. Police have now confirmed that a gun recovered by police is the murder weapon.

The extensive criminal history of the alleged cop killer includes trespassing, criminal mischief, resisting arrest, evading detention. It appears he had a state jail felony arrest for criminal mischief, but the charge was pleaded down to a misdemeanor charge.

Breitbart Texas obtained the following information from public court records:
•02/03/2009 – Harris County – Metro – Resist Arrest/Search – Nolo Contender – 6 days jail
•05/12/2007 – Harris County – HCSO – Criminal Trespass – Guilty – 10 days jail
•05/03/2007 – Harris County – Jersey Village PD – Evading Arrest – Guilty – 10 days jail (credit for some time in)
•12/31/2006 – Harris County – HPD – Disorderly Conduct (discharging firearm) – Guilty – 15 days jail
•10/02/2005 – Harris County – HCSO – Evading Detention (dismissed and refiled as) Resist Arrest/Search – Guilty – 8 days jail
•07/04/2005 – Harris County – HCSO – Criminal Mischief destruction of property $50 – $500 (was originally a Felony but was reduced to a Misdemeanor) (the complainant was Peggy O’Neal who is the registered owner of the house where Miles lives. O’Neal is also listed on Miles Facebook page.) – Guilty – 3 days jail
•02/15/2005 – Harris County – U of H PD – Fail to Identify giving False Info – Guilty – 4 days

Breitbart Texas has learned that Miles attended Prairie View A&M University, according to what appears to be his Facebook page. This is the school where Sandra Bland was arrested following a traffic stop and alleged assault on a police officer in July. Three days later Bland killed herself in the Waller County jail and became a prominent icon in the #BlackLivesMatter movement. It appears he attended the predominantly black university for one year from August, 2003 to May, 2004. Following that he attended other colleges including Houston Community College and the University of Houston Hilton College.

Following Bland’s suicide, daily protests have been held at the Waller County Jail. In one of these protests attended by Breitbart Texas, a self-proclaimed militant black woman said that all white people should be killed. A few days later, armed members of the New Black Panther Party marched on the jail chanting “the Revolution has begun, off the Pigs,” during another protest attended by Breitbart Texas.

Last week, Breitbart Texas reported that the Prairie View City Council voted to rename University Drive to Sandra Bland Parkway. Bland had moved back to Prairie View shortly before her death to work for the University’s alumni association.

During a press conference attended by Breitrbart Texas that was held in Houston on Saturday, Sheriff Hickman talked about the rhetoric about violence against cops was spiraling out of control.

Meanwhile, members of the community where Goforth lived and served are planning a prayer vigil to honor the fallen deputy. Throughout the day, people have been building a memorial tribute to the deputy. The prayer vigil is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Saturday evening. It will be held at the scene of Goforth’s execution, the Chevron gas station and convenience store located at West Road and Telge Road in northwest Harris County.

Harris County District Attorney Devon Anderson told reporters that it is time for the silent majority in this country to support law enforcement.

Miles is currently being held in the Harris County jail without bond.

Breitbart Texas will be attending this event and will bring more information about this developing story.

Why does it matter that he and Sandra Bland attended the same university other than Prairie View A&M is a historically black college in Texas? What is Fartbart trying to imply?

Breitbart is trying to imply that this is the beginning of a race war. That the media "hysteria" about cops using excessive force resulting in the killings, excessive jailings, and in-jail deaths of blacks has caused a "militant" black reaction spurred on by the Black Panthers and the #BLM movement. And is new Blacks-against-whites movement was evident at the Waller County jailhouse and spread to the (actually not *that* far away by Houston standards) Cypress area where the officer was executed at the gas station.

Breitbart is always stirring this kind of stuff up. I don't like the website.

If you have seen me complain about my SIL and have THAT context, she is a BIG fan of Breitbart and posts his stuff regularly.

Fuck Breitbart.

More from breitbart (eta front page link right now), although this cop isn't making it a race war issue - just an anti-police war issue.


www.breitbart.com/video/2015/09/01/tx-police-chief-radical-groups-calling-for-police-deaths-are-changing-the-way-we-police/

Rowlett, TX Chief of Police Mike Brodnax said “the way we police is changing” because “radical groups out there now, asking for police officers to be killed” on Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson.”



Brodnax stated, “I think the way we police is changing. And with the — some of the radical groups out there now, asking for police officers to be killed, I think it’s going to change how we behave as police officers. And we will probably start requiring backups on just about any calls we make, especially with suspicious people and things like that, and more than one suspect.”



He added, “when you advertise it on Facebook with videos, asking for police officers to be killed, and there are more than one group doing this, and nothing has been done to these groups to shut them down or stop them, then it would give a percentage of the American citizen[s,] who are somewhat criminal themselves, thinking it’s okay to go out and kill police. And I think that’s what’s happening. I don’t think that we can necessarily say, right this minute, that it’s black against white, or anything like that, because right now we’ve had officers shot by white suspects as well as black. So I think there’s just a war on police and that it doesn’t matter which race you are, that’s coming after us. We are now the target.”



Brodnax concluded, “I think we need to nationally support the police in the open, because the groups that are protesting against us are small in number. They don’t represent a large portion of our country. And I believe that 75% of America supports law enforcement, and wants us to do our jobs. and i think it’s time that America’s citizens stand up and support their police. And we need to put these outsourced, anti-police groups down.”


Another from breitbart front page link:

HOUSTON, Texas – Armed Black Panther members marched in front of the Waller County jail and shouted, “You’re gonna stop doing what you’re doing, or we will start creeping up on you in the darkness.”



The statement was made just two weeks prior to the assassination of a Harris County deputy sheriff.



Shannon Miles, a black male, allegedly came “creeping up” behind Harris County Deputy Darren Goforth in the darkness on the night of August 28. While Goforth stood at a convenience store pumping gas into his patrol vehicle, Miles allegedly raised a pistol and shot him dead.



The comments, made by a leader of the Houston-based chapter of the New Black Panther Party, were captured on a short video clip (below) from the scene by the Houston Chronicle. The writers from the Chronicle made no mention of the threat in their article published that same day.


Not part of a chant, the march leader, wearing the rank of colonel, shouted directly to Harris County mounted deputies through a megaphone. “You think we’re not pissed off a bunch about y’all killing our sisters? You think it’s okay? [We’re] the wrong n***ers to mess with. You’re gonna stop doing what you’re doing, or we will start creeping up on you in the darkness.”



The rally, also covered by Breitbart Texas, took place at the Waller County Jail where inmate Sandra Bland took her own life by hanging herself with a trash bag after her arrest following a traffic stop in the town of Prairie View. She was accused of an illegal lane change and assaulting a police officer. After being left in jail by her family for three days, Bland hung herself.



In the video below, Breitbart Texas recorded several other violent statements towards police. “The revolution is on… Off the pigs,” and “Oink Oink… Bang Bang!,” was the message leveled by the heavily armed Black Panthers directly at Harris County deputies who had been asked by the Waller County Sheriff to come out to help keep the peace.


Two weeks later, a black man, Shannon Miles, allegedly walked up behind Deputy Goforth and shot him in the head and back fifteen times, according to a Breitbart Texas report on Miles’ first court appearance.



The Waller County jail is located just over 30 miles from the Chevron station where Goforth was executed. The alleged killer, Shannon Miles, also attended the same university as Sandra Bland. It is possible that her arrest and subsequent suicide could have played a role in Miles’ possible motivation.
