Editorial: Reckoning over Ramos death must go beyond officer s indictment

By American-Statesman Editorial Board Michael Ramos raised his hands, lifted his shirt and declared he had no gun. Austin police officers shot him anyway first with a bean bag round, and then, as Ramos tried to flee, with the bullets that took his life. “That’s wrong! That’s wrong!” a woman cried out in a bystander video of the April 2020 shooting. We agreed then. A Travis County grand jury agrees now. This week’s indictment of Officer Christopher Taylor for first-degree murder brings an anguished community one step closer to accountability for a death that never should have happened. Ramos, a 42-year-old Black and Latino man, found himself surrounded by eight police officers at a Southeast Austin apartment complex after a 911 caller reported, incorrectly, that Ramos was handling a gun. He was, in fact, unarmed.
