In memory of Darren Goforth who was shot multiple times while pumping gas into his patrol car last month, thousands of people marched on Saturday the 12th- in HOUSTON, Texas.
Goforth had served with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office for 10 years and has left behind his wife and two children, ages 5 and 12.
The suspect was Shannon J. Miles and was arrested on Aug. 29 and charged with fatally shooting.Miles allegedly shot Goforth 15 times, including in the head and back, after sneaking up on him from behind. In response to the incident, pro-police marches are planned to take place in Houston on Sept. 12 and Austin on Sept. 19.
This incident is another execution way of killing a white by the black and this matter has much been illuminated over the past, showing that most homicides occurred due the difference between a white and a black.
Goforth was white and the person charged with killing him, Shannon Miles, is black, taking the account from the case erstwhile.
Furthermore, the marchers wore blue t-shirts carried a banner that learn, “Police Lives Matter” and “Undivided we march” with Goforth’s picture on the entrance.
Many law enforcers from around the Harris County and Houston area were also the numbers in the rally; they started marching round 9 a.m. Saturday and deliberate on marching till 2 p.m for four-and-a-half miles.
Organizers say more than 19, 000 people were expected to line the streets- police motorcade and other vehicles were also used in the march.
The march started with few minutes of silence and continued with guest speakers.
“For too long, we have taken for granted that the loud minority of the anti-police movement would just go away. It is our turn to show that the silent majority is fed up with this criminal movement.” Says the organizers.

do black lives matter to cops ? Do white lives matter to cops ? The numbers show cops have zero respect for any life. So thank God and some one he is gone. This will save lives
God Bless the Police, Cops, “Bobbies” (as in England)!
The US Constitution provides for police powers.
The law and the police defend law-abiding citizens from lawlessness and the ensuing chaos.
From what poll did you get your info? To me it sounds like an unscientific poll from inmate thugs.
