The case of Jonathan Price has been made popular all over online, and, if you recall, Porsha Williams is one of the TV stars who talked about this on their social media account.
‘His name was #JonathanPrice. In Wolfe City, Texas, he was known as a hometown hero. Motivational speaker, trainer, professional athlete, and community advocate— he was dearly loved by so many,’ Porsha began her post.
Officer Shaun Lucan has been arrested and charged with murder in connection with the death of Price, who was an unarmed man. He was attempting to break up a fight when it all happened.
Lucas now alleges that he shot the man because he was resisting arrest, and he was attempting to grab his taser.
The Shade Room cites info from CBS 11 News and reveals that the Defense Attorney for Robert L. Rogers stated:
‘Officer Lucas responded to a fight in progress call. He saw several people gathered at the front of the store. Mr. Price approached Officer Lucas. Mr. Price did not claim to be an uninvolved, innocent party.’

Someone commented: ‘Mind you, THIS MAN was in support of BlueLivesMatter because he “never had an issue with police officers,” and the irony is that a “Blue Life” took HIS life. Tragic.’
Another follower said: ‘I wonder where the “All lives matter” crew is at; he was one of their people🤷🏽♀️.’
Someone else posted this message: ‘I’m sorry he lost his life, but after reading his Facebook posts, I have a hard time sympathizing with a black man that had no sympathy for victims like Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. Let the cops and ALL LIVES MATTER rally for him.’
