Arlington TX Police Dept. Fires Cop Who Fatally Shot Christian Taylor 
----------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In news from Texas, the Arlington Police Department has fired a white
officer who shot and killed an unarmed 19-year-old African-American
college student last Friday. The officer, Brad Miller, was still in
training when he fatally shot Christian Taylor while responding to an
alleged burglary at a car dealership. The Arlington police chief said he
is turning over evidence to the district attorney, who will decide
whether to present it to a grand jury for a possible criminal indictment
of the officer.
