Deputy Constable clings to life...

[PoPoRiderRR]

HOUSTON -- A suspect was killed after he got a hold of a deputy constable's gun while handcuffed and shot him multiple times, officials told KPRC Local.

Residents at the Chancellor Apartments on Parramatta Lane near Trevor Way in north Harris County said they heard the terrifying sound of more than a dozen gunshots at about 3 p.m. Saturday.

"The shots rang out -- I heard about 15 or 16 and then it stopped, and then it started right back up again," resident Tamika Johnson said.

As a result of all the shots, a suspect was killed and a Harris County Precinct 6 deputy constable was critically wounded.

Investigators said Cpl. Harry Thielepape was working an extra job at the apartment complex.

Thielepape stopped Jesus Reyna on suspicion of a traffic violation, officials said.

Constable Victor Trevino said Reyna had been arrested, handcuffed and placed in an unmarked squad car equipped with a "cage."

"We assume that the deputy saw the suspect possibly pull his hands in front," Trevino said. "Possibly the deputy may have gone back to secure him."

Trevino said there may have been a scuffle just before Reyna and Thielepape exchanged fire.

Investigators said Reyna got a hold of one of Thielepape's guns and shot him three times in the chest, once in the leg and once in the groin.

Reyna was also shot and died at the scene, detectives said. Drugs and a gun were found inside Reyna's vehicle, investigators said. There were two class-C warrants out for his arrest, officials said.

"I'm just so glad I didn't have my children out here playing like they normally play out here the time that happened," Johnson said.

Thielepape was not in uniform, but he was wearing a bulletproof vest and had his badge displayed on his chest, investigators said.

Officials said they hope Thielepape will pull through.

"It's been tough on us," Trevino said. "Right now we're just here to pray and wish for his quick recovery."

Thielepape has been featured on KPRC Local 2's "Wheel of Justice" several times.

The Precinct 6 Constable's Office has lost two deputies since 2005.

Deputy Constable Nehemiah Pickens, 33, was killed when he was mistakenly shot by a fellow officer in 2005.

Man, I hope he pulls through.

[BuffaloRider13]

Some people are just so dumb... I Hope the officer comes through. And the guys family needs to wake up.. The guy was a criminal!!! Not a saint.. He already had warrents out for his arrest.. It wasnt like he just turned bad over night. Some people make me sick!

yea but they were class C warrants. Guy was stooooopid. The highest fine for a class c is 500 bucks, and it does not hurt you in the long run, Now he is DEAD. oh well i dont talk bad about the Dead, no matter what he did in life as long as it was not a mortal Sin someone some where in the clouds will forgive you. Now the Cop he has the Hard part. killing is a Mortal Sin. OOPS. isnt that a bummer! Catch 22 is a bitch. thats why i stopped going to church.

[speedjunkie]

However, the Church teaches that self-defense is permissible for the preservation of a one’s life. If the attacker is mortally wounded or killed, then the death of the attacker is not a sin. Those who use unnecessary aggression in self-defense can sin mortally, if the attacker is killed or gravely injured.

[blackhalo]

Hope the officer pulls through... damn I never would have thought that area was so bad. Right there at 1960 and almost 45. Was reading people's comments on the apartments and it sounds like this is not the first shooting at this place.

I hope and pray that the officer recovers.

As far as sin is concerned, the Bible teaches that lying is just as mortal of a sin as murder, or adultery, or anything else for that matter. We all fall short of the glory of God, and we all need Christ to save us from that.

To help understand this better, with Islam, its the same concept. It all depends on the intention of what was to happen. Lets use a knife as an example. Let say someone puts a knife to you and cuts you. Sin? It depends on what the persons intention is. If he did it to harm you, rob you, hurt you, then obviously yeah it is. But if its a knife thats cutting away at a deadly tumor, obviously this act is being done in order to benefit.

Yeah these examples are far from each other, but to my knowledge, as long as the intension is right, then being sinned should not be something to worry about

As to my understandings, Jesus did not speak English back in his days. I don't remember which language he spoke, but i'm pretty sure it wasn't English. A lot of meaning gets lost through translation, for some words in other languages aren't translatable. Its kind of hard to believe that God would hate you if you tired protecting your own life.

so why didn't his son kill all of his killers that put him on the stake.

Number 1 reason people think it's ok to sin: "well alot of things are lost in translation so it's ok to do."

I hope the guy pulls through and I hope they can end all the b.s. over here cause everyday on test drives I see multiple cops patrolling and sometimes see ppl running around all over those apartments. Its GHETTO over here (1960/45) :er:

CHL here I come!

What a freakin' idiot. You're already handcuffed and on your way to jail - there's no escape and yet you shoot a cop.

[CaJuNsOuLjA]

...I mean seriously. How can someone be considered even remotely "good" or "in the right" having shot with the intent to kill anyone, much less an officer of the peace. I say, fully justified, with intent to kill because you don't fire off multiple rounds at at single target as Reyna did toward the officer, had you not the intention to fatal injure. Here are some examples of flatly dumb asses posts on there:

...You tell me how the hell a guy with cuffs on his back takes a gun and shoots the cop? You can't can you? He had a job! What you don't know about...you can't stop to speculate about either. Have more respect for his family as well. What if it was your brother or sister that were shot like a dog. Would you really stand for all this crap? If the cop was working a second job...why not wear a uniform and have a marked car? In my experience that's what you're supposed to do. Jesus may have been less than perfect, but he was a human being with rights. Put yourself in there shoes before you think about giving an opinion!!!

FAIL

You know what htxns i'll give you that. Maybe it is my emotions getting the best of me, because I happen to be human and when someone that was close to me dies...it happens to hurt. Regardless of what they did. I'm no one to judge. And no I never said the cop shot himself...but did you know that Jesus wasn't the one pulling the trigger? Did you know there was a third and got away? NO why? Because they'll make cops the heroes. And when they don't know the answers they make them up. And as for your threats I'm not concerned. I won't end up in prison or an autopsy room. I take care of myself and i'm not walking around with a gun. Or asking someone to shoot me because i'm Mexican. Maybe you are the one that will land there someday. I don't know, and don't really care. Everyone will end up where they are meant to in due course. Just watch those threats.

FAIL

Firstly, I'd love to see where shes' getting her facts. Second, with regard to the because they'll make cops the heroes, could it be that they are justified in regarding officers as heroes as a result of their-the officers' actions? I'd really love to know where her idea of this phantom shooter came from...

I think everyone needs to leave him alone!! No one has the right to judge him. Nor does anyone have the right to say that he was rightly killed. All of you that are bashing on the feelings of his family are insensitive and I don't think they need to apologize to the deputy or his family..if anything, he should be telling them why he shot to kill when he could've just shot him in the leg or something. So explain to me how that contributes to stopping the violence?! Also, he was legal. He was born here in Houston and who the hell cares if he was illegal or not? Bunch of bastards bashing on someone who can longer defend himself. And as someone who knew him very well...I will stand by him.

FAIL with a BIG FCUKIN "F"

No, biblically speaking, no one has the right to judge him but are fully entitled to judge his character- he quite evidently had a few character flaws. Why should the deputy have to explain himself with all of the evidence in plain sight? The deputy was shot multiple times, Fact. The perp had a history of criminal activity thus illuminating his tendency toward criminal activity, fact. The perp was found with paraphernalia, fact. Lastly, why in the hell would the officer shoot to "detain" when he has been shot multiple times? That is flat stupid...dumbsh!ts :angry7:

I take it that ILUVREYNA is a family member... Funny how when the turd dies, he turns out to be a saint... pay no mind to the 30 page rap sheet he probably had... truth is, he got what he deserved... he should have taken the ride in the patrol car. Instead he took one in the County Coroners Van...

Jesus Reyna... Hmm... wonder if this piece was even legal?

[PoPoRiderRR]

im going to say probably not...

No Correct! Killing is a sin and you have to ask for forgiveness from God not man, so long as you dont die before you ask for forgiveness and are absolved, otherwise HELL.

How do you think All of those soldiers and airman in Iraq would feel if their chaplain told them Kill away boys We are going to hell anyways! No killing in self defense is Permisable. GOD Kills in defense Of his People. He wiped out entire Citites. My post is Straight out of Doctrine!!

Actualy it is a known fact that the Bible is Perfectly and identicaly translated in all languages, which I would say was Hebrew First then Latin and greek and so on.
I actualy Learned my first prayers in Latin because Mass taught that Way and CCE catholic bible School was also in latin, until the church Gave some leeway on that. real neat But i dont remember much, Then i came to the Us and had to learn in english , even thou i pray in spanish in my head.

is it true that in islam Jesus was considered a powerful Prophet? or spoken of?
someone told me this but dont remember.

[speedjunkie]

so why didn't his son kill all of his killers that put him on the stake.

Number 1 reason people think it's ok to sin: "well alot of things are lost in translation so it's ok to do."


if that's the case let's disregard the whole bible i mean the whole thing could be mistranslated. please stop using the mistranslation cop out.

ITS oK . lET thy NOT BE OFFENDED! Its not the meaning its how you interpret what you read. But once you understand it and not follow it then your screwed. so its our job to witness in a good way and not take away from its meaning for if we do God takes away from us.

We all know to take human life is a sin, But if that man was about to Comit murder and you could stop it by killing him you fall into gods grace because you gave up your soul to sin in order to protect another, that Is sacrafice.

We in the USA call those people heros.

Time and a place for that, I don't think it should be this thread.

I hope the cop makes a 100% recovery, very sad to hear what happened.


Not trying to imply anything here, just want a better understanding: what exactly does the law allow off duty officers to do while working *extra jobs*? (IE: write traffic tickets?, even DETAIN for traffic tickets?, only arrest if it's a breach of the peace<--citizens can do this, carry a weapon even w/o a CHL<--I'd estimate 5% of cops actually have one, etc etc)

[CaJuNsOuLjA]

Yea Even then its not worth killing or being killed for. They guy was a Byproduct of american society, in otherwords SCUM. WAS< now hes dead

Dawg? Are you serious? I will say this: No, he should not have been killed for having drugs, or a gun with him at the time of his arrest HOWEVER, he very well deserved to die for- if it can be verified that he did- firing at the officer numerous times thus putting the officer's life in danger. Testing for GSR, which I am sure they have, will confirm as much. The guy was a product of his own decisions, lets not downplay the very fact that here in America, you have the freedom of choice. Lets not make excuses for him. The right way isn't always the easiest way and he evidently chose what would be the easy way but for the inherently short mortality rate of those who choose to partake in criminal behavior.

As long as you are a TCLEOSE certified officer then you are a LEO on duty or off duty. Having said that, it may not be advisable to do the same things off duty that you would do on duty. This officer had a take home shop with a cage and I guess was planning on transporting the suspect to jail, or at least had him detained in the back seat. Suspect grabbed a back up gun that was in the deputy's waistband, the deputy grabbed his duty weapon and the fight was on. Every agency has different policies about extra jobs and how they handle arrests and transporting suspects. Most will call an on duty unit to handle the transport at least, but if the officer had a take home vehicle with a cage then I can see him transporting himself. The reason that most officers dont have a CHL is that with your TCLEOSE card and dept ID you can carry anywhere except for airport terminals, where TSA rules come into play. If you throw your qualification card into the mix you can carry in all 50 states.

offensive! :angry7:

a criminal is a criminal... regardless of the immigration status...

Offensive? What is offensive is that 30% of the prison population in the US is illegal immigrants. So, if you think that questioning the legal status of a person who just killed a hard working US citizen offensive then I would suggest that you reevaluate your values.

Not sure exactly when it happened, maybe last night or possibly the night before but, I think I have woke up in another country. :angry7:

[cashtown]

I think in cases like these it's always valid to question the immigration status of a suspect. If a person is here illegally then any crimes they commit could have been prevented by stiffer immigration control.

Though I think this guy was indeed legal.

[nuclearalex]

lol....sometimes your immigration status makes you a criminal.

thats not what i meant I meant murdering, robbing and gang violence....

And as for the immigration law - well it needs to be corrected.
I can give you examples of other laws like that (that are ineffective and irrational). But technically you are right, if you cross the border without a visa - you are technically breaking the law.

Finally, I dont think that crime is a product of any particular nation or ethnicity. I am sure there are murderers in latin america, north america and europe etc.

I agree with whoever said that this discussion doesn't belong to this thread... So this is my last message on this thread.

I don't know what you meant exactly by stiffer immigration control? It is already incredibly hard to get into this country legally. Making it even harder would not solve the issue of illegal immigration. I think what we need is to find a *legal* way for the people willing to work to do it legally instead of illegally. The visa procedure should be much more efficient while having more stringent background checks (in order to ensure no criminals get in). At the same time of course the borders must be controlled better.

eh?

I'm talking illegal immigration - which, currently, is considerably easier than legal immigration.

Plain and simple, crimes committed by people here illegally could never have been committed if they hadn't been here in the first place.

This has nothing to do with legal immigration.

*edit- don't know if maybe I confused you, but by stiffer immigration control I meant control of illegal immigration.

Patriot Guard Riders will be having an Honor Mission for this Officer on Monday, February 25.
Please join us if you can.

Final itinerary for CPL Harry Thielepape
Harris County Precinct 6 Constable
25 Feb 08
Harris County Precinct 6 Deputy Constable Harry Thielepape, who was shot more than three weeks ago while working security at an apartment complex, died early this morning. He was 57.

Thielepape, who survived several surgeries to repair his gunshot wounds, was with family members at Memorial Hermann Hospital when he died, Precinct 6 spokesman Danny Perez said.

"He fought this injury all the way through to the end," said Cpl. Gerald Caldwell, who was at the hospital when Thielepape passed away.

"He was a special guy," Precinct 6 Constable Victor Trevino said after learning of his longtime deputy's death. "He always wanted to be in law enforcement and he fulfilled his dream.".....

In talking to and visiting with a number of Precinct 6's Deputy Constables both individually and at the Hospital while the Corporal was fighting his battle I quickly learned that Corporal Thielepape is someone I would have been proud to call my friend, ride beside or stand beside. I can tell you all that he was a valuable part of the Law Enforcement effort in Harris County and was loved and respected by those in his Precinct and Community....................BOOMER

F.A.S.T. When you set up at the cemetery please take two flags so the Flag Bike Riders can come directly to the grave and take one rather than carry through the guests.

Ride Safe and Be Alert AT ALL TIMES. Thanks for your support!
