    I have to call BS when Mesquite PD claims they dropped charges against #LyndoJones b/c of their concern with his recovery & that charges may be revisited. It’s a cowardly attempt to save face. You’ve been caught red handed. We demand justice.

        Also seems like a back-handed threat to arrest him again.

        How often do police drop charges while criminals heal? he committed a crime or he didn't you don't go fishing far charges at a later date.

        Re: #LyndoJones - Mr. Jones was NOT inside his truck when shot. Also he wasn't shot in the back, but in the side and abdomen, you can tell that by looking at his bandages in the picture. Oh and he definitely wasn't shot while cuffed.

        I can't disagree with you on him not being shot. I hate it that it happened. The question of why was he shot must be answered. They need to release the bodycam footage.

        It’s shocking how the abuse of power and disregard of rights continues unabated.

        You don’t arrest then drop charges then months later rearrest if you have no crime or evidence to arrest. Lawyers need to speak to Chief of that Dept. victim had no weapon

        The only thing they're concerned about is being able to pump bullets into PoC without being held accountable. We need nationwide law enforcement reform at every level.
