Rookie Officer Brad Miller, 49, and his field training officer responded to the scene. The training officer tried subduing Taylor with a Taser, but Miller used deadly force.<\/p>\n<p>The fatal shooting comes nearly one year after the nation was galvanized by the Ferguson shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed 18-year-old black man who posthumously spurred the \u201cBlack Lives Matter\u201d movement. <\/p>\n<p>Police Chief Will Johnson said Miller was just finishing up his 16-week field training program when he responded to the call to the car dealership. The 49-year-old rookie had no police experience prior to joining the Arlington department, and it\u2019s possible his lack of time on the job may have come into play here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe facts available today do not answer all questions, nor will they alleviate all concerns,\u201d said Miller. \u201cHowever, we will provide answers as they become available and address every concern throughout the investigative process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taylor\u2019s father, Adrian Taylor, questioned Miller\u2019s actions, asking why he didn\u2019t choose to use less-than-lethal force to subdue his unarmed son.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat he\u2019d done, ain\u2019t no way right,\u201d said Adrian Taylor. \u201cBut to shoot an unarmed man? You\u2019re a police officer, you\u2019re trained to take down men with your hands. You have your Tasers, you have your clubs, whatever there is. Unarmed, a 19-year-old \u2013 and you shoot to kill?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taylor\u2019s father also shed some light on what kind of person he was, explaining that he oftentimes would go out of his way to help the homeless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA good dude, man,\u201d the father said. \u201cWe\u2019d be going over here to church and he\u2019d pull over and give a homeless guy money, shoes if he needed and he\u2019d have to go back home and get some more shoes because he gave his away. He was like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miller has been placed on administrative leave until the investigation into the shooting has been concluded. <\/p>\n<p>(<em>This article was a submission by freelance writer Brent Rogers<\/em>) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video surveillance cameras captured the moments before a rookie Texas police officer fatally shot an unarmed black teenager after responding to a burglary call at a car dealership. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":41100,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,262,241,216,240],"tags":[132,291],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-41099","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-defensive-use-of-firearms","9":"category-rapid-fire","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-dgu"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Rookie Texas Cop Fatally Shoots Unarmed Black Teen One Year After Ferguson<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Cameras captured the moments before a rookie Texas cop fatally shot an unarmed black teenager after responding to a burglary call at a car dealership.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/rookie-texas-cop-fatally-shoots-unarmed-black-teen-one-year-after-ferguson\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Rookie Texas Cop Fatally Shoots Unarmed Black Teen One Year After Ferguson\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Video surveillance cameras captured the moments before a rookie Texas police officer fatally shot an unarmed black teenager after responding to a burglary call at a car dealership.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/rookie-texas-cop-fatally-shoots-unarmed-black-teen-one-year-after-ferguson\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-08-09T12:28:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-18T22:34:35+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/TexasCop.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
