Bexar County, TX — In December 2017, the Free Thought Project reported on the tragic death of 6-year-old Kameron Prescott whose life was stolen from him when police opened fire on an unarmed woman suspected of stealing a car. In June, the mother of the little boy who was gunned down by police found out that the cops who killed her son all went back to work. And this week, the family has found out that none of the officers responsible for the death of her son will face charges. Last year, the Bexar County District Attorney provided the department with clearance letters, allowing the deputies to report to full duty after being on administrative leave during the investigation. After a six month paid vacation for killing a child, the cops went back to work. Now, a Bexar County grand jury decided that all the officers involved in the boy’s death will face no charges. “I respect and agree with the decision of the grand jury in this case,” Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales said in an emailed statement Wednesday. “I’m livid,” said Rubi Prescott, Kameron’s mother. In December, the incident received widespread coverage as the mainstream media reported that Kameron was hit with a “stray bullet.” However, this bullet was anything but “stray.” The shot that killed young Kameron was deliberately fired at an unarmed woman. The officers’ guns did not accidentally go off. Deputies John Aguillon, George Herrera, Jesse Arias and Johnny Longoria all deliberately shot at an unarmed woman, and their fear, poor judgment, and carelessness led to the death of an innocent child. For over a year, the family has been asking for justice to be served. And now, it looks like that will never come. Adding insult to death, Rubi had to find out in the media that the cops who killed her son when they shot and killed an unarmed woman, would be returning to work. “I just wish they would’ve had compassion, that they would’ve had the courtesy to tell me what is going on before they told the rest of the world. I gave birth to my child you would think that I’d be able to get told something like this first before the media or anyone else,” Prescott said last year. Although Kameron didn’t live in the home in which he was gunned down by police, it was his father’s house and he was visiting him after getting out of school early on that fateful Thursday for Christmas break. “He was saying to his grandpa that he didn’t want to be there,” his uncle said at the time. “All day, he was saying he didn’t have a good feeling. He was telling his dad he wanted to call his mom and didn’t want to be there. He just kind of knew it wasn’t going to be a good day.” “If it is the police, we hope that you hold your people accountable,” Gonzales said. “I am sorry that it comes to this, but y’all are people just like us at the end of the day. Y’all deserve to be held accountable. It is a Constitutional right. Y’all just killed a little boy, it was y’all. There’s no weapon, so it wasn’t that lady.” Had a regular citizen opened fire on an unarmed woman and killed an innocent child in the process, rest assured that they would be sitting in a jail cell right this moment. However, because the people who killed this unarmed woman and child are police officers, there will be no #JusticeForKameron. Naturally, the sheriff’s department claimed the officers acted appropriately—by opening fire on an unarmed woman—and killing her and a child in the process. They are claiming to have seen the now deceased suspect—30-year-old Amanda Jones—carrying a pistol prior to finding her breaking into Kameron’s father’s house. However, no such pistol was found. “In my opinion, it’s a tragic accident that led to the death of this young man,” Sheriff Javier Salazar said at a news conference at the time. “But again preliminarily it appears that policies and procedures (on use of force) were complied with.” According to Salazar, it is apparently proper procedure to open fire on an unarmed woman as she flees police and not care about the mobile home behind her in a neighborhood full of children out for Christmas break. Although they didn’t originally report it, police then claimed that Jones was holding an 8-inch “dark pipe,” which caused the multiple armed officers to all open fire on her with complete disregard for everyone’s life who happened to be near her—including 6-year-old Kameron Prescott. The officers were wearing body cameras showing the shooting, but the department refuses to publicly release the footage. The officers returning to work after killing a little boy should come as no surprise especially given the fact that there were 20 Bexar County Sheriff’s deputies arrested in 2018 for misconduct. One of those deputies was Jose Nunez, whose arrest on charges of child sex assault shocked the nation. The 10-year veteran is accused of sexually assaulting a 4-year-old girl and threatening to have her mother, who is undocumented, deported if authorities learned of the abuse. Kameron Prescott was the 1,152nd person to be killed by police in 2017. He was also the youngest.

Hey, Deckard, I have a question for you. Do you possibly have any idea why TFRP continually referred to the person the cops were chasing as an “unarmed woman” – again and again and again – without ever mentioning her name while all of the other articles I read immediately and readily identified her as “33-year-old Amanda Lenee Jones?
Oh, another question for you, Deckard. Why do you think TFTP failed to mention the deputies were chasing Amanda Lenee Jones because she had stolen a car and also was a “WANTED FELON?
Oh, Deckard, these questions just keep popping up. I cannot find in the article whatever happened to “33-year-old Amanda Lenee Jones?” Maybe it is there and perhaps I missed that. So, I wonder if you know what happened to “33-year-old Amanda Lenee Jones.” Edit:
Bless their hearts, look what friends and family had to say:
Bless their hearts, look what friends and family had to say: Hey, Deckard, help me out since you know all about this sorta stuff. How can an “extensive criminal history” give a false account of her true character? And exactly how could “her behavior be unfairly conflated with the boy’s death“ since she was trying to break into the mobile home with him inside? Puzzlement, always puzzlement …
Look what friends and family also had to say: Say, Dckard, how was she not putting harm in a child’s way when she was trying to break in the door to the mobile home with him inside while holding a pipe in her hand that the deputies believed to be a gun. Huh?
Amanda Lenee Jones had a ‘Rough life’ - Records show Jones had been arrested at least 14 times for various offenses, starting with a charge of possession of a controlled substance in 2006. The arrests, Espinosa said, “had nothing to do with who she was as a person.” Another friend, Esperanza Garza, 29, recalled meeting Jones in prison and having conversations where Jones would express regret about “how things turned out.” “Anybody that does anything wrong wishes that they could take it back, but they can’t,” Garza said Saturday. “She’s had a very troubled life, and not just in getting in trouble with the law.” Espinosa, 29, also spent time with Jones in prison, where she said Jones was “always there to listen to me,” even when Jones was struggling herself. She called Jones “a very giving person” with “a huge heart.” “Any time I had a problem she was there to wipe my tears,” Espinosa said. Espinosa recalled how much Jones loved animals, saying she once cried after the death of her pet dog. “She used to tell me, if you ever live with me, you have to deal with my babies, my dogs,” Espinosa said. Espinosa last talked to Jones about a week ago, she said, describing her as “going through a rough patch.” Jones talked about going back to jail, Espinosa recalled, but said she gave off no impression of wanting to steal a car, as Jones is suspected of doing Thursday. Amanda Jones’s sister, Alley Jones declined to comment Saturday. On Friday, she wrote on Amanda’s Facebook profile: “I’m so heart broken. I don’t know what I’m going to do without my big sister. Watch over my babygirls and fly high.” During the confrontation, which took place in Schertz on Thursday, sheriff’s deputies accidentally killed Prescott, who lived in the mobile home Jones had been trying to enter. Sheriff Javier Salazar said Jones was unarmed but held an 8-inch-long tube in her hands that looked like a handgun. Jones had acted belligerent, Salazar said, threatening the officers several times. Kristina Atkins, 36, a longtime Schertz resident, backed the sheriff’s deputies Saturday, saying Jones “tried breaking into” numerous trailers. Chafin, who lives across the street from the Prescotts, echoed the sentiment, saying Prescott’s death was “not the cops’ fault.” “I trust my life with them” Chafin said. “It was a horrible accident ... It’s going to take a long time for this community to recover.”
Hey, Decard – She was a durggie too.
Repeating the interesting commentary by a neighbor - “I trust my life with them” Chafin said. “It was a horrible accident ... It’s going to take a long time for this community to recover.”
And so, Deckard, I will close after a comment on this from TFTP: Ministering Assurance to the Chronic Doubter. Now, Deckard, “read out loud carefully along with me" – 2 They maketh me to lie on Liberty’s Forum; They leadeth me in shame beside hondo and Bucky. 3 They “ripith” my soul; They leadeth me along the paths of unrighteousness for their agenda’s sake. 4 Yea, though I no longer walk through the valley of their shadowery lies, I will fear no evil; for Thou, Gatlin, art with me; Thy wisdom and Thy superb judgment, you use to comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a instrument of truth before me in the presence of mine former Paultard libertarian associates; Thou anointest my head with premium hemp oil; my gratitude “bubbleth” over. 6 Surely now that I have cleansed my mind of libertarian ways, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will be a devoted kind-to- cops loving person now and forever.
IOW’s... that’s my shitbag family member.
The cops murdered a 6-year-old child and got off scot-free. All of your blustering, misdirection and cop worship does not change that.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen. You say “murdered.” Do you think you can do that? Deckard, I did none of those. All I did was present a cogency of evidence that compels acceptance by the mind of truth and fact. I was being absolutely clear, logical, and convincing at all times with the lucidity that had clarity of expression and intelligibility. Show me exactly where anything I posted to you was a clear misdirection, that I blustered, or that I cop worshipped. Please tell me why do you refuse to even consider for one moment any information that may be, or probably is, the truth no matter you read, see or hear?

Oh my goodness, Deckard, look what I found. Amanda Lenee Jones was killed by Bexar County sheriff’s deputies in the confrontation that also led to the death of a 6-year-old boy,. Damn, I must really be getting old. I did not see this mentioned in the TFTP article. Uh, did you? If this was not mentioned, then can you think why not?

Although they didn’t originally report it, police then claimed that Jones was holding an 8-inch “dark pipe” …
This found in TFTP article is both quite interesting and perplexing since other news sources reported the 8-inch pipe was found at the scene with no mention of any delay police report.

Friends and family members remembered Jones as a troubled yet loyal person whose extensive criminal history, they say, gives a false account of her true character. They said her behavior was being unfairly conflated with a child’s death, saying she loved spending time with children.
Hmmm. She had an “extensive criminal history” – eh? I can only wonder what that involved and why TFTP neglected to mention this. Oh well …

“All this hype about her criminal history,” said Priscilla Espinosa, a close friend, referring to early media reports and statements from the sheriff’s office. “They’re talking badly about her, but they don’t even know her. She would never hurt a child or put harm in a child’s way. She loved kids so much.”

Jones, 30, grew up in a household without much money, several friends said, describing her as having a “rough life,” though she still made time for her family and stayed positive in between arrests and difficult periods in her life.

You know how that is, right?

Now, a Bexar County grand jury decided that all the officers involved in the boy’s death will face no charges.
After reviewing all of this information, I sincerely hope you will now give due consideration so that perhaps – just perhaps – you can find some way to begin to understand how a grand jury composed of 23 ordinary citizens of Bexar Country of which only 12 need to vote for an indictment listened to all the sworn testimony and viewed all the evidence and may – just may – have been correct in their decision not to indict.
23 The Free Thought Project is not my God; I shall not ever want them to be - again.
There, you must really feel so much better now …

The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.

Murder is defined as “the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.”
While … Premediate is defined as “thinking out a plan of action beforehand.
Deckard, I will believe you and I will agree with you when you show me proof the action, or actions, by the deputies that were both “unlawful” and how they “thought out a plan of action beforehand.” All of your blustering, misdirection and cop worship does not change that.
