Cops should be fair game for self defense the moment they act unlawfully. You break the law you should get treated the same as everyone else, searching/detaining/arresting should be the same as kidnapping if enacted unlawfully, and acting accordingly should be protected under self defense. Yes, cops will die and be shot, but it would be THEIR fault and the fault of those who TRAINED them and encouraged such criminal behavior. I have literally NEVER met a cop that didn’t have the OVERWHELMING urge to show off their insecurity, weakness and small cock energy.

I guess the off duty cop forgot Texas is a stand your ground state. ;)

No badge no uniform, just a gun in hand= not a cop 🤦 good to see justice is served

[Kcapistrano]

Crazy how people try to defend the off duty cop 😂

A cop was wrong, jury agreed, attorney “disagrees” with jurys decision… kinda explains this schism between the community and police.

Even if he's a "thug" you can't just pull a gun without saying you're a cop and get into a fight with someone out of uniform. You're not above everyone because you're a cop.

Nice to see a jumped up officer being put in his place. Don’t forget “you serve the public” not the other way around.

There was a guy in my town who was charged with assault of a LEO because of a bar fight that the off duty cop started. It was on camera and they still charged him. Police are the most powerful street gang.

The citizens investigated themselves and found no wrong doing.

Does not matter if he I D as a cop . You start a fight and include a firearm people have every right to defend yourself from anyone even a cop .

[Hardin]

Even if he had identified himself as a cop that would be irrelevant, he attacked the young man without any provocation, posed a threat to his life, he has every right to self defense, the job title of the aggressor is irrelevant.

Good news everyone! Justice has been served!

[slickwilly]

The cop was off duty, and he should've left bro alone. Now he's pushing daisies. The moral of this story is, learn to take a day off work.

[uxxdkim]

Prayers for Robert Soliz and his family so Glad he didnt get hurt and charges dropped. That p.o.s scumbag cop got what he deserved.

[xtremestringbass]

Great news justice prevails over tyrany. The prosecuter should be charged and held without bail.

[matthewgoines]

Sounds like the cops don’t like when the verdict isn’t in their favor😂

[RE-jjmr]

He's lucky he needs to be in church every Sunday thanking God

[timelope]

Play stupid games, get stupid prizes plain and simple

[davidsiegel]

it shouldnt matter if the cop identified himself or not.. .if the cop is fighting with someone.... that person has the ability to defend themselves regardless if its our own government or not...this just shows that our government thinks of its self as higher value than the public they serve

God bless you Robert. Another pig gone from this world
