“We’re Really Not Apologetic”: Texas Trooper Cleared In Chopper Sniper Killings "Many people were humiliated by Tampongate and Poopgate, but at least no one died. You can’t say the same for other failed policies of Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw, who has given police officers increasingly dangerous discretionary authority with little to no oversight. On Tuesday, a grand jury decided not to indict a Texas trooper who had killed two unarmed Guatemalan immigrants after shooting them from a helicopter last year. Let me say that again, in case it didn’t sink in the first time: A police officer in a helicopter shot at a nonviolent suspect and killed two innocent men, and his actions were deemed defensible because the DPS gave him authority to do so."
