In late 2010, Officer Daniel Alvarado of San Antonio’s Northside Independent School District Police saw Derek Lopez, a troubled 14-year-old boy, punch a classmate at a bus stop. The classmate who was punched later testified, “He just hit me once…It wasn’t a fight. It was nothing.” However, Alvarado, as many police do, took a minor scuffle and escalated it to homicide. Alvardo shouted at Lopez, who then took off on foot. Alvarado eventually chased Lopez down and shot and killed him.
