Meanwhile, in Texas, the FBI is investigating the death of 19-year-old Christian Taylor, an unarmed African-American college football player who was fatally shot by a white police officer in the Dallas suburb of Arlington Friday. Authorities say that police shot Taylor after he did not comply with initial calls to surrender during what authorities are describing as a potential burglary at a car dealership. The officer has been placed on administrative leave. Taylor had spoken out against police brutality on social media. In a now much-circulated tweet from late July, he wrote, “I don’t want to die too young.”
