IntelliHub – by JG VibesThis past Saturday a San Antonio man was shot and killed by an off duty cop after both vehicles pulled to the side of the road for some unknown reason, most likely a minor traffic incident. The victim of the attack was an unarmed 29 year old man named Matthew Jackson.
According to the family Matthew was sitting in the car at the time of the shooting, but the police are denying that and refusing to show any type of evidence.
KENS5 reported that Jackson’s wife and brother said they drove by the scene separately around 7 a.m. looking for Mathew, since he never came home that night.
Both people said Mathew’s body was in the front seat of his car, with his left foot on the ground and he appeared to be shot while sitting in his own vehicle.
A spokesman for the sheriff’s office said that evidence gathered at the scene and the preliminary investigation indicates that is not accurate.
Jackson’s family gathered near the scene and said they waited more than two hours before getting to talk with investigators.[1]
“I want to know the truth and I gotta rely on them to find that,” said his brother Patrick, who questions why Thomas was not given a field sobriety test or why he fired shots at Mathew.
“We aren’t getting answers,” Patrick Jackson said. “And the answers we are getting are misleading.”
“His biggest fear in life was to not be a good dad,” Patrick Jackson said, referring to his brother’s 21/2-year-old son. Matthew Jackson wouldn’t have taken any risks because he was a father, his brother said.[2]
Thomas is now on a paid vacation until the investigation is complete, but unfortunately it is the police who will be investigating the case.

America – What have we become?
I was born in Chicago in 1960.
I for the life of me don’t understand how this has happened to us.
I see us turning into a police state. I hear the drums of war.
I see a horrible future before us as we move toward revolution.
A better day will come but not before we see the wholesale slaughter of many brothers and sisters.
OFF DUTY COP ? Why isn`t this off duty pig in jail for first drgree murder like any one else would be. This just goes to show that it should be open season on cop hunting. THE ONLY GOOD COP IS A DEAD COP!!!
Concur. Seen enough of this outlaw Law the past 2 weeks in the PacNW. It’s going to get worse. Cops around – chamber a round!
EXACTLY, digger. That’s just what I told Henry when I sent this in.
Off duty = NO blue wall protection!!!
Gotta agree…and the fact that this happens every week proves we have a real problem on our hands.
And the fact that other cops always cover up these murders makes all of them guilty.
Case closed… sentence yet to be carried out.
AMEN!
Cops all over the nation are for sure showing citizens that they are hired killers.I say they are nothing but mercenaries in patrol cars now with the backing of the judicial system. They are there to control the population not protect it ,kicking in doors and killing pets and people all over the country too. Swat is used for anything now and yes they will kill you if given the opportunity while yelling stop resisting to you. I know swat is not mentioned in this report but they are cops too you know!
Another reason why I try to stay far away from San Antonio as much as I can. They are police state central and corrupt to the core.
