Analysis: Gov. Abbott further fueling division with plan to pardon man who shot BLM protester

Less than 24 hours after an Austin jury found Daniel Perry guilty of murder for the 2020 slaying of a Black Lives Matter protester, Gov. Greg Abbott announced via Twitter that he'd pardon Perry the instant the pardon board issued such a request. “I look forward to approving the Board’s pardon recommendation as soon as it hits my desk,” Abbott declared Saturday. That's more than an empty threat, by the way, since the governor himself appoints the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles.
