A Texas Tech University police officer was shot and killed Monday night at campus police headquarters, causing the Lubbock, Texas, campus to be placed on lockdown for more than an hour.

NBC News reports that incident started after officers responded to a call for a student “welfare check.” When the officers got to the room, they found drugs and drug paraphernalia, which prompted them to take the student to campus police headquarters.

A spokesman for the school said in a statement, “During this time, the suspect pulled a gun and shot an officer in the head. The officer is deceased.”

We have an armed, druggie white kid here, and the cop let his guard down long enough to be killed by him.

SMDH.

1. Some good questions from the comments:

Why didn't the police give him a pat-down?

How come none of the cops was afraid of this cop-killer?
He had just shot a cop in the head, but no cop felt threatened enough to shoot him or even taser him from afar. They tackled him! They tackled a cop-killer with a gun!

2. Boggles the mind, doesn't it? nt

3. Be interesting to see a graphic which lined up side by side comparison of similar cases ...

... with vastly different outcomes

Or contrast the extremes: Law-abiding cooperative person on one side gets killed, out-of-control killer on the other side is arrested.

4. Cop killer too how about that . Just by "looking at him " I suppose the police didn't think he

would pull a gun, and shoot to kill.
Risky bias from the start
