"Gunman pistol-whips pizza employee over wrong order, fatally shoots deputy in escape, and remains at large."
It just felt very backwards to me.

Absolute titlegore. It sounds like some guy killed a deputy for beating a pizza employee, which while not entirely admirable is a completely different story.
that's how I read it too
Esqueda was a "member of a very elite task force, the violent persons task force," Lee said.
So he was part of the worst of the worst? What’s the bet this cop exercised excessive violence on the regular.
I hate cops as a general rule, but this seems a bit of an unfair opinion unless you've got evidence for this specific officer.
My evidence is the history of police leading up to this very second and beyond.
And nothing of value was lost
I mean, I L O V E pizza. This much though?
I bet either alcohol or drugs were involved.
Pizza is a hell of a drug.
This is crazy. If you search for Ronnie Palmer, this story pops up with a mugshot of a... rough-looking black guy with dreads and tattoos. But Google shows a picture of a different Ronnie Palmer, who was a white rugby player, for the Wikipedia page for yet another Ronnie Palmer, clean cut black guy who is a former football player and coach. And somebody updated the Wikipedia page to say that Ronnie Palmer is the suspect.
The Ronnie Palmer in question is Ronald Kent Palmer, Jr, age 44.

EDIT:
But food service workers don't deserve human rights. I thought this was America. The radical left is clearly gaslighting this guy. Something Jesus something something communism /s (obviously)
