I am not surprised by this.
Most cops in these small towns have very limited experience and honestly mentally shouldn’t be allowed to have a gun. Lucas was 22-year-old Pizza Delivery Driver and next thing you know he is a cop.
Not surprisingly he was abusing his power before he murdered Jonathan Price.
Black residents of Wolfe City, a town of 1,400 people about 70 miles north of Dallas, warned each other about the “new cop” and the harassing behavior a growing list of people had experienced over minor violations that would raise nary an eyebrow in the quiet community before Lucas arrived.
Residents say the 22-year-old officer had been overly aggressive with his traffic enforcement and berated longtime Black locals. At least one former resident who had moved out of town resisted visiting her parents within city limits, just to avoid Lucas. Black men told The Post about antagonistic interactions with the officer after being mistakenly arrested for public intoxication. Residents, both White and Black, shared a Facebook post in August warning of “another mean police officer” stopping “everything that moves at night.”
“Where the hell did he come from?” a bemused Veronica Brown questioned this week during a conversation with her sister and daughter outside their home. “He is the worst cop Wolfe City ever had.”
Lucas worked for Samee’s Pizza Getti Restaurant and then became a police officer.
There was obviously not a lot of training involved. This is why the whole system needs to be abolished.
Sadly Price took up for white cops and in the end though a white cop murdered him for being a black man.
