Video Shows Texas Cops Shoot Man With Hands Up
Sheriff's department condemns news station for publishing cell phone footage
On Friday, Bexar County sheriff’s deputies responding to a domestic violence call encountered 41-year-old Gilbert Flores on the front yard of a home outside of San Antonio.
Flores was suspected of assaulting a woman and infant inside the residence.
Police said Flores appeared to have a knife when they arrived, and attempted to “resist and fight back,” according to Bexar County Sheriff’s Office PIO James Keith.
Deputies Greg Vasquez and Robert Sanchez claimed they attempted to use non-lethal force to stop Flores, including tasers and riot shields, according to Think Progress, but their efforts proved fruitless, they said, and they had to open fire on the man, killing him.
However, cell phone video filmed by a neighbor and obtained by ABC affiliate KSAT News shows a shirtless Flores putting his hands up multiple times and little if any effort by law enforcement to employ non-lethal force.
Instead, the alarming footage appears to feature one, if not both officers opening fire on Flores as his hands are raised in the air.
“Certainly what’s in the video is a cause for concern,” Bexar County Sheriff Susan Pamerleau commented on the footage Friday, “but it’s important to let the investigation go through its course so that we can assure a thorough and complete review of all that occurred.”
Yesterday, the department posted a message to Facebook denouncing KSAT 12 News for making the footage publicly available, labeling the news group’s act “unethical and sad” and “sensational.”
Currently deputies Vasquez and Sanchez, both with the sheriff’s office for longer than a decade, are on paid administrative leave. They have not yet been charged with a crime, according to the Associated Press.

Policemen, please, please, do everything you can to apprehend people without using lethal force. What about handcuffs? If taser doesn't work, get a better one. You have things that can a,pprehend someone without harming them, please use it.
If you think that they are even thinking about how NOT to kill someone then you are sadly NAIVE. Come on. The man was a suspect but he was not charging the police and I doubt there was a knife. I want to think that police are good but I am sorry because in order to do the job of a police officer then you are either kidnapping/illegally arresting someone because of a statute, code or ordinance; or you are beating someone; or taking them out of their homes and then they are killing them. The police do not work for the people they are code enforcers for the elite. They are not held accountable because they are not bonded and personally accountable. Their bosses/police Chiefs and so on cover their asses no matter what they do wrong. The second they stop someone they have already done something illegal because they are FRAUDS/actors. Start demanding each officer be bonded and see how the deaths and kidnapping shrink considerably. Once that happens they will not have a job because the elite are not making their trillions.
When a Blue Gang member murders one of the slaves, he usually gets a paid vacation and promotion when he returns.
Another point blank murder by Blue Gang members and all Blue Gang members wonder why there has been a claim of open season on all of them. ??? All by design. Ask the foreign agent district attorney of the local empire.
