The Texas Board of Pardons has recommended a full pardon to Daniel Perry, a US Army sergeant who was sentenced to 25 years in prison after being convicted of murdering a protester at a Black Lives Matter rally in 2020.
Looks like the protesters were blocking the road, and it’s not that evident that he actually hit anyone. He also was taking a right turn on a red light, which is a legal thing to do.
I can see why #GregAbbott might have wanted to pardon him, although the case certainly isn’t exactly cut-and-dry and it’s fair to have different takes on this.

I rewatched the video and this was interesting: https://twitter.com/pine_tree_riots/status/1410742168868704258
