Quote:Newly released dash cam video shows the suspect in last week’s murder of a Texas trooper viciously attacked a Smith County deputy in 2015.
The confrontation between Dabrett Black and Smith County Deputy Rigele Dean occurred in March 2015 after Dean spotted Black walking on the side of the road while he was en route to a domestic assault call, according to WFAA.
Quote:On Thanksgiving, Black was arrested and charged with murder in the death of Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Damon Allen. The homicide occurred during a traffic stop. All news agencies referred to it as a “routine traffic stop.” But people in law enforcement know there is nothing routine about being a cop.
Allen was reportedly shot with a rifle when walking back to his cruiser after speaking to Black, police said.
Dash cam video of the 2015 incident shows Black knocking Dean to the ground, sitting on top of him and repeatedly hitting him across the face. Dean said that when he attempted to pull his weapon from his holster, Black tried to pull it from his hands, saying, “You ain’t gonna shoot me motherf*****.”
Black’s mother was present during the altercation. She is seen in the video trying to separate her son from the officer. Dean sustained two black eyes, six stitches and a broken nose in the attack.
On the dash cam video, Black can be seen talking to himself about his military service. Moreover, his beliefs that cops are targeting and killing innocent minorities.
Quote:Black was offered a plea bargain in the incident. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and served one year according to court records. The felony charge was dropped.
Smith County prosecutor Jacob Putnam also dropped a felony charge alleging that Black tried to take away the deputy’s gun. Putnam did not receive authorization from the District Attorney’s office to cut this plea deal with Black, according to WFAA.
In the months following his release, several emails were sent to Smith County officials. Black’s probation officers detailed their concerns about his mental instability. Consequently, they feared of future attempts at retaliation against law enforcement officers, WFAA reported.
One official wrote, “In my opinion, this is the kind of guy who will lurk in the shadows and try to ambush someone. … I am not trying to scare anyone and I am not being paranoid. I just think the guy has some kind of agenda and I’m not exactly sure what it is.”
Sadly, their concerns proved prophetic.
But remember that the legal system is totally against black people.
If the legal system were against black people then this mutt would have been in prison serving time for the 2015 assault and Trooper Allen would still be alive.

A misdemeanor? That is BS.
Quote:Jacob Putman, a candidate for the Smith County District Attorney's seat in 2018, has apologized to current DA Matt Bingham for his handling of a plea agreement last year with the man now accused of killing a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper on Thanksgiving Day.
Smith County District Attorney Matt Bingham said during a news conference Thursday that he accepted Putman's apology and will not terminate him for violating office policy, which requires the DA or the first assistant DA to sign off on dismissals or reductions for felony cases.
Quote:Bingham said Putman made a mistake, and given that Putman is the only candidate running for the district attorney seat Bingham will vacate when his term ends, Bingham felt it was important Putman remain at the DA's office since that's the office he'll likely be serving in the future. Putman has no opponents for the DA's position thus far.
"It's unique because he's the only one who has filed and he will sit in this seat," Bingham said. "The experience he needs I am hoping I can help him with."
Having an experienced district attorney is especially critical, Bingham said, as the office prepares to prosecute at least two capital murder cases for which they plan to seek the death penalty.
"In one year, Jacob Putman will be the people's DA," Bingham said. "It is of the utmost importance for Putman to get the most experience he can. He is the only candidate and he will be the next DA."
However, Bingham added, "If he wasn't running for DA we would be having a different conversation."
