HENDERSON, Texas — Timothy Michael Randall was on the phone with his mother when a police car pulled up behind his Nissan Altima with its lights flashing. It was just after 12:30 a.m. on Sept. 14, 2022, and Randall was heading to his cousin’s house after a night out.
“He had called to let me know that he was going to be home a few minutes later,” Randall’s mother, Wendy Tippitt, recalled. “So I wouldn’t worry.”
Randall, 29, pulled over and hung up with his mom. Sgt. Shane Iversen of the Rusk County Sheriff’s Office walked up to the Altima and told Randall that he had run a stop sign, police dash camera footage shows. Randall denied doing so, and Iversen ordered him out of the car.
What began as a routine traffic stop, on a country road two hours east of Dallas, quickly spun out of control.

Shane Iversen fatally shot Timothy Michael Randall in Rusk County, Texas, in 2022.Rusk County Sheriff’s Office As Randall was stepping out of the car, he put his wallet in his back pocket and adjusted his waistband.
Iversen dug his hands into the front of Randall’s pants and then told him to put his hands behind his back, the dash cam footage shows. Randall kept his arms raised.
“Officer, I don’t have anything on me,” he said.
“Officer, please, can you tell me what I’m under arrest for?” Randall asked moments later.
Iversen didn’t respond. Instead, he wrestled Randall to the pavement.

The guy shot was white but that does not matter.
They tried to keep the video out of the public.
The guy shot posed no threat to the officer. He was running away. Before he tried to get away he was cooperative with the officer who was aggressive and forceful...
BLM? What are you talking about? Are you one of those that thinks they have to stand with LE no matter what they do?
Watch the dash cam video in post 8.
‘BLM’ is an acronym for Bowel’s Large Movement.
That is not a justified use of deadly force. That’s 2nd degree murder. Arrest him and charge him.
Maybe someone should “smoke” your ass.
The quicker the better.
“What does “BLM” stand for, in your mind?
It can’t, in context, reasonably be “Bureau of Land Management” so I have to ask.”
I would like to know too. Because what it look like is anyone Black deserves it and should not be defended at all. And that the general consensus here on the Free Republic should be exactly the same or you should be shamed for thinking outside the parameters.
How do you square your tagline with the murder of someone who didn’t deserve the death penalty?
Where do you get that from?
Quote anything I said that endorsed this killing.
You can’t.
Aw, you’re so cute.
Stupid but cute in your Antifa blm outfit.
You wanna see how brave some of these cops are?
Take a look at what the Phoenix PD did to a youngster last summer.
Took him down in 114 degree heat onto the blacktopp and held him there for MINUTES!
Suffered 3rd degree burns all over his body.
And THEN CHARGED HIS WITH OBSTRUCTION.
Its going to cost the Phoenix people over 15 million. But what the hell. They seem to be good at brutality down there. Disabled? No worry, theyll brutulize you even if your in a wheelchair. Deaf? No problem. You didnt listen to instructions. Legally blind? Again, no problem. They’ll take your cane away since it looks as if its a dangerous weapon.
Altimas do have a bad rep, and it’s not necessarily undeserved. He should have driven the ultimate stealth vehicle, a silver Honda Accord.
Try me.
I never said anything about the shooting and it’s lack or not of justification.
Lol.
Why are you on the side of Antifa and blm?
Are you communist?
I said...
Brave enough to back up your words?
I said you’re an insane anti-American communist.
Do you deny it?
“I said you’re an insane anti-American communist.
Do you deny it?”
I happen to know very well he is not. Don’t distract from the question. You are a racist and you tried to shame the OP for posting an article that you THOUGHT was defending Black Lives Matter over LE. But you were WRONG because he wasn’t black and now you are trying to dodge your way out of your asinine screw up by playing victim and throwing insults because you are not intelligent enough to defend yourself with logic.
You are dealing with the mentality of a child here crz.
Just like when you don’t go completely limp they try to say you were resisting arrest.
