We are all hoping that Talib gets off without a suspension. Talib, Wright, and Biggers is much better that Wright, Biggers, and anyone else. Talib gives our defense a little more credibilty.

Can’t assume everyone or anyone has racist motives, without proof. Especially since victim is also African American I think.

And remember Lyndon Johnson was a Texan, he of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Lots of good fair minded people in Texas IMO.

I wonder what charges would have been filed if Aqib was a cop. Maybe racism is the wrong word, but double standard may not be. If Aqib was Jason Witten and this happened in Canyon Creek, shooting at a felon, the results would have been different.

@BigMacAttack,

Please, no one wants that hear that racist crap. The whole Talib family is huge mess weather he gets out of this or not. You should be putting down that type of behavior regardless of color, not taking subtle jabs at white people. I don’t know of any white people being given medals for waving and shooting guns in residential neiborhoods.

Thomas,

You are wrong about the shot that was fired. You should re-read the report. The shot that his mom was referring to was the shot that discharged when the pedophile was running with the gun and dropped it. It discharged upon impact with the ground. What the cops asked his mother “is it possible that Aquib fired the shot since you heard it but did not see it?” Her response was yes it’s possible. But the report itself unquestionably attributes that shot to the pedophile. Conflating facts won’t help you here. We will both be watching 25 this fall.

@thomas

Davis v Alaska is the applicable SCOTUS case, which has been repeatedly followed in the Texas Court of Appeals.

All the pending charges are totally fair game to expose bias, whether or not Billing has any sort of deal with the state.

I’m not happy with Talib’s behavior but I’m baffled that the State Attorney has continued to pursue this course. I have not read anything that seems credible to prove beyond a doubt that Aqib did anything. It sounds like everyone in the entire neighborhood has been in trouble with the law at some point in time. I see this as a no harm, no foul situation. It’s like a big game of liar’s poker, and a total waste of tax payer money. I question if any citizen in Texas really cares one way or the other.

I’m from Texas and I’m going to play the Race card. I believe if Talib was white, shooting at a black that abused his sister, he would have been given a medal. Or it surely would have fallen under Stand your Ground. I may be wrong but I’ve been throwing stuff at the wall today and wanted to see if this sticks.

No I do not. But the right flows from The Sixth Amendment.
