A police officer in Houston yesterday executed a double-amputee in a wheelchair after the man allegedly threatened his partner with what turned out to be a pen.
The early-morning execution occurred in a group home, the owner of which had called police complaining that the man was causing a disturbance.
Police representatives said that when two officers arrived, the disabled man cornered one policeman and threatened him with an object. Another officer opened fire, shooting the crippled man in the head, saying he was forced to take action, “fearing for his partner’s safety and his own safety”, after the man refused to calm down and remain still, police said. Apparently, failure to calm down and remain still, even if you have a mental illness and are physically disabled, is a capitol offense here in the Lone Star State.
It was discovered later that the object that the one-armed, one-legged, wheelchair-bound man was waving turned out to be a felt-tipped drawing pen.
Police revealed that the dead man’s name was Brian Claunch, aged in his 40s.
The officer who conducted the execution has been identified as Matthew Jacob Marin, who has been a serving police officer, and thus an heroic first responder, for five years. He was placed on a three-day paid vacation, which is a standard procedure for all shootings linked with officers.
Marin was reportedly involved in another field execution just three years ago, when he eliminated a suspect holding a knife.
The owner of the group home, John Garcia, said that the deceased, Brian Claunch, had been living at the place for approximately a year-and-a-half, and was mentally ill in addition to having lost an arm and a leg in a railroad accident. He was confined to his wheelechair or bed.
“He sometimes would go off a bit, but you just ignore it,” Garcia told reporters.
Houston police are equipped with a variety of non-lethal weapons, which they are also trained to use. These include tasers, pepper spray, flashlights, and clubs.
Why Marin chose to kill the invalid when other options were available is not known. Why not just kick his wheelchair over and handcuff his only arm to his only leg?
