This stenciled graffiti of a gun pointed at an officer's head is appearing in Houston, Texas, where Harris County Deputy Sheriff Darren Goforth was murdered execution-style.


"On Tuesday, Houston ABC affiliate KTRK reported that it has spotted disturbing anti-cop graffiti stenciled in at least four places around the city in the wake of the murder of Harris County Deputy Sheriff Darren Goforth. Others have reported seeing it as well. The graffiti consists of a gun pointing at the head of a police officer.

" 'I can't believe that there are people out there so heartless and so ruthless to put something on there before this deputy is even buried," HPD Union President Ray Hunt told KTRK. "It does nothing to help to help morale in the police department and does nothing to help the Goforth family."

"Fox 26 reporter Angela Chen said that at least one business has covered the graffiti up. In something of an understatement, Chen said the stenciled graffiti is "a horrific thing to see, especially for the children and family of slain police officers." In a tweet, she also cited police who said the graffiti is the work of someone stirring the pot." . . .
