Texas Army Sergeant's Racist Posts and Possible Pardon Spark Controversy.

An Army sergeant convicted of murdering a protester in Austin in 2020 shared posts about killing looters and sent messages about killing demonstrators and shared racist memes before the shooting, according to newly unsealed court documents. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has said he wants to pardon Daniel Perry, who claimed he opened fire in self-defense, citing the state's "stand your ground" law. Travis County District Attorney José Garza called the governor's intervention "deeply troubling." Perry's attorney has filed a motion for a new trial.
