Green reacting to the newly revealed racist texts sent by the former San Jose police officer who shot him last spring outside La Victoria Taqueria, where Green says he disarmed someone involved in a fight.
"I feel like the hero of the situation that took place on March 27," Green said.
Officer Mark McNamara shot Green as he was backing out of the restaurant with the confiscated gun.
In a newly surfaced text dated the day after the shooting, McNamara wrote to fellow officers.
"'N wanted to carry a gun in the Wild, Wild West. Not on my watch,'" read civil rights attorney Adante Pointer.
Fucking pig shot him in the back and tried to act the hero to his nazi buddies.
- Also all his police friends read hik admitting to a hate crime and didn't report anything? Good to know.
In some of the texts, McNamara said: "I'm pretty sure the district attorney would have charged me if I used excessive force, but she didn't, because I didn't use excessive force, I'll shoot you too."
McNamara said of Green's legal team, texting: "They should all be bowing to me and bringing me gifts, otherwise he would have lived a life of poverty and crime."
Absolutely disgusting.
Know this fucker's face.
- I'd love to, but his face is so damn generic, I'll probably forget it the instant I look away from it.
- Vincent D'Onofrio
  
  Dude, Vincent D'Onofrio in The Cell. 100%.
- Evangelize! :) Grab a few stories and share them with your news group. We need a mass movement!
