Thousands of law enforcement officers stood at attention to form a wall Friday outside one of Houston’s largest churches as a 21-gun salute and flyover by police helicopters were carried out in honor of a slain sheriff’s deputy.

The symbolic gestures followed the funeral for Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy Darren Goforth, who was gunned down at a gas pump a week ago.

“We come to this place with heavy hearts, and have questions we don’t really understand,” Lt. Don Savell, the sheriff’s department chaplain, said as the ceremony began. “We gather to share the grief we all feel and perhaps to find the strength to bear our sorrow and to look for seeds of hope.”

Second Baptist Church, which holds 7,000 people, was filled. Some officers stood outside and watched the nearly two-hour service on big-screen televisions, while other spectators gathered outside the suburban convenience store where Goforth was killed to view the funeral on screens set up there. Flowers, balloons, posters and written messages in memory of Goforth still surround the pump where he was shot.

Goforth, 47, was in uniform when he was killed while putting fuel in his patrol car. A 30-year-old Houston man is charged with capital murder. Investigators are still trying to determine a motive.

“Darren Goforth was one of the good guys, one that made a difference,” Sheriff Ron Hickman said during the funeral. He said Goforth’s life was taken “senselessly and in an act of cowardice” the night of Aug. 28 but that he and others “will answer calls in Darren’s honor.”

He said about 11,000 officers from “coast to coast” had come to pay respects.

The man accused of fatally shooting a Texas deputy sheriff execution-style at a Houston-area gas station was arraigned Monday on a capital murder charge that could bring the death penalty.

Also Monday, Gov. Greg Abbott ordered Texas flags be flown at half staff to honor Harris County Sheriff’s Deputy Darren Goforth, 47, who was shot in the back of the head after exiting the station’s convenience store Friday night.

“Texas honors our officers,” Abbott added in a tweet announcing his order.

In court, District Attorney Devon Anderson told Judge Denise Collins that surveillance cameras at the gas station in suburban Cypress showed a bald, black male drive up in a red Ford pickup. The man ran up behind Goforth and shot him in the back of the head, then several more times even after Goforth fell, Anderson said. Fifteen shell casings were found near the body.

“He unloaded the entire weapon into Deputy Goforth,” Anderson said. The truck was traced to Shannon J. Miles, and it was found at his home.

Miles, 30, was arrested the next day. Witnesses identified him as the shooter, Anderson said. Ballistics tests matched the shell casings found at the scene to a .40-caliber handgun owned by Miles, she said.

The first lady seems to be a little bit confused about who gets shot at gas stations.

CNN:

A Texas man faces a capital murder charge in the “execution-style shooting” of a sheriff’s deputy while he was fueling his patrol car near Houston, authorities said.

Deputy Darren H. Goforth was in uniform when he was shot in the back Friday night in what authorities described as an unprovoked killing.

The suspect, identified as Shannon J. Miles, has been in police custody since Saturday.

His criminal history includes convictions of resisting arrest, trespassing and disorderly conduct with a firearm, Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman said.

We live in Bizarro World, where the diametric opposite of objective reality is peddled as truth.

We, as Whites, are continually victimized, in every way imaginable, by Blacks. And yet, we are told, by virtually every media outlet in the country, that we are the oppressors.

I wonder if it has anything to do with these media outlets being owned by Jews?

These Jews appear, if I’m not mistaken, to have some beef with the White race.
