#Texas cops were recently caught on video shooting an #unarmed man who had his hands up in the air – surrendering. The whole thing was caught on video, and almost as soon as the incident happened, a local news station did their jobs and aired footage. Now, the #BexarCounty Sheriff’s Department is losing their collective mind over it, and claiming news that aired the footage is “unethical.” The #Bexar County Sheriff’s deputies who fatally shot a man with hands up, they say, should have had this incident concealed. The Sheriff’s Department says that they do not want the public to express outrage at the shooting, which they call “sensational.” #GilbertFlores, 41, is clearly seen in the video – taken by a neighbor with their cell phone – standing outside of his home when police arrive. He then raises his hands up in the air, clearly above his head – showing that he is unarmed and compliant. None of that mattered. The video aired by local #KSAT shows an officer gunning the man down without hesitation or provocation. “They just cold-blooded shot that [*********],” neighbor with the camera can be heard saying. Both the county D.A. and the sheriff’s office say that they have opened investigations into this shooting. The deputies involved, #GregVasquez and #RobertSanchez, are both on paid administrative leave, according to local KSAT. But the Bexar County Sheriff’s Department says that the decision to air the footage of the unprovoked shooting was “unethical.” (at http://countercurrentnews.com/2015/09/texas-police-unethical-news/#)
