Kill someone for a steak dinner

Officers rewarded for use of force with steakhouse gift cards, former Williamson deputies say

Among the deputies who received gift cards to places such as Logan’s Roadhouse were J.J. Johnson and Zach Camden, the officers involved in the March 2019 death of Javier Ambler II. Officers used their Tasers on the Black 40-year-old father four times as he gasped that he had a heart condition and could not breathe.

Texas deputies reportedly received gift cards for use of force:

Former Sgt. Troy Brogden, who resigned from the department in 2019, confirmed Pisa’s claim and told the American-Statesman that Deaton gave the cards “for what he considered good uses of force.”

“He would talk about it in groups, including supervisors meetings and classes,” Brogden told the Statesman. “I was like, ‘What the hell?’”
