Crime Dallas Officer Kills Man in Apartment "She Thought Was Hers"

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

Was never fit to be a police officer.

1. Total idiot. Doesn’t realize it’s not her apartment.

2. Panics and shoots the guy as soon as he opens the door.

I hope she gets convicted and a stiff penalty.

Because the warrant and that lesser charge appear to have been wrested from the Dallas PD's hands. They intended to deprive her of that liberty by serving it, but the state swooped in and took it out of their hands.

I get the feeling the State took over because they are considering looking at just this fact. I have a suspicion they're studying how the response was conducted as intensely as they are studying the likely crime itself. Yet we are already trying to run up the outrage meter before due process is carried out. It's like reading the outrage in the Cop megathread about the "pigs" when it is Civilian Panel votes that find for no excessive force used by an officer.

Outrage precedes thought.

I don't know who you're referring to, but speaking for myself, there be no outrage. I'm just sad that this poor guy lost his life because this woman apparently should never have been allowed to possess a gun. The rest is informed speculation.

I know the local PD couldn't arrest her once the the Rangers were called in but in case you didn't notice, my whole post was asking why the Rangers haven't done so, and no, "because she's a cop" isn't a good enough answer.

 

[Staph infection]

If she truly knew him and the department is backing her I want to see them all in jail.... Thats insane.

And know we are heading towards the truth. Old island boy was sliding it to another chick and this cop got pissed. Never fuck around with or date a female cop.

The city next to mine had a crazy female cop that was caught having sex on the job, then discharged her firearm negligently in another incident. Was still on the force and started dating an officer from the same force. She came home drunk (she was driving her squad car that evening). They got into and argument and a gunfight erupted in their home. He was killed and she was shot in the face and disfigured a bit. She claimed he started it and got off on everything and then left the force with a nice severance package.

I was teasing you earlier and agree with you in many of these types of cases Mick but not this one. Mainly the fact that she wasn't held is the biggest issue, as she clear as day killed an innocent person at their own home. There was no "crime in action and she shot him in the back" type of scenario that people cry over. This was an actual opening of someone's door and murdering them. An incident that she admitted, and claims it was a mistake.

At worst she should have been taken into custody until more information is verified and the crime upgraded if need be, not the other way around.

So, in your informed speculation, is the fact that she wasn't immediately arrested tantamount to the cops trying to get her off? Was that the endgame?

Because that reading doesn't make a lick of sense to me. I see incompetency in response to a bewildering situation that I'm sure everyone at the scene knew would evolve and be settled above their heads in court. If they treated the rest of the crime scene appropriately I'm not going to be hung up on this. I suppose she's a flight risk. Is that what has everyone upset? She was given the chance to run?

I find it reasonable to believe she wasn't exhibiting signs of inebriation if they didn't test her for that, immediately, and others have already said it is poor form for cops to drink while still in uniform-- also "informed speculation". For those who are upset that she may not have been breathalyzed in a timely fashion, I once again find myself confused at what this entails. Whether or not she was drunk ultimately doesn't indicate whether it is manslaughter all the way to first degree. It could be either regardless of her condition, and with regard to manslaughter, I'm not sure it does anything but strengthen her case for a reduced charge.

Wow...
Cops need to be held to a higher standard since they have that power. Its not hard to prosecute them. They shoot someone in their own home for no reason? Jail/Death. Its not hard. As stated before "With great power comes great responsibility." Take responsibility for your actions that lead to an innocent mans death.
You can arrest her on the spot and still change charges as evidence is procured, like ANY OTHER PERSON.
According to you if a cop goes on a mass murder spree, dont arrest then let them walk, and wait on charges.... Insanity.
No someone shoots a person dead in their own home like this, they need to be arrested on the spot, its baffling you cop supporters are against this.

Cops need to be held to a "higher standard" in order to become cops, not with regard to justice for crimes. They need to be held to the same standard. Your concept of cop justice just demonstrates your hatred for cops, and your desire to oppress them with an unequal standard of prosecution.

You refer them to "pigs" regularly. Your mission is one of hate. Don't waste your breath on me because I don't waste my thought on yours.

Holy shit, thats a scary fucking notion people actually think like this. People truly would let cops get away with murder since they are cops. I want to oppress cops because i want them held responsible for shooting a man in his own home... Like any normal person would be arrested on the spot... Totally oppressing police...

A lot of bizarre sexism (as well as racism) is getting wrapped up in what I find to be more measured and rational concerns that posters like Rebound are voicing.

This comes off very incel-y, Staph.

This is objectively untrue according to the logic of the statement.

Cop kills a guy in his own apartment because they thought it was their own and mistook them for an intruder and you don't think they should be immediately arrested?

Lmao

And yet you continue when I didnt even mention you... Hypocrisy.

The reaction of the police in this situation seems standard to You?

Pretty sure if you blow off your neighbors head tonight and call the cops, they will arrest you.

Where did I say that?

I'm not a cop. I would desire for justice to be the same, but I would understand if my colleagues approached me differently than a stranger (especially if I had a clean record).

 

[Graves The Elder]

ok settle down, everybody.
what mitigates immediate arrest of the officer is the fact that she is lawfully entitled to carry a gun on/off duty
and furthermore, her police powers (to identify, investigate and apprehend if necessary) are authorized 24/7.
now she has to justify her actions, 'under color of authority'. remember, she shouted 'open up, police!'
that draws an immediate nexus to her occupation and all that it entails.

 

[Bamboozled]

I'd rather not assume any arrests or outcomes in situations like these. I'd rather go on fact. But that's just me.

Fact is this is not a normal arrest or charge. She's going to be charged and arrested but it's being covered by an outside organization and are taking precautions. It's that simple, those are the facts. So why are you asking mundane and retarded questions? Is it because you're trying to bait someone into your ideological trap? Or are you genuinely confused about how these things go?

That sure was a quick turnaround.

The same standard. Unless it's not, then it's understandable they have different standards.

I might be a bit dumb in not understanding what you mean here. When this story first broke it was just some supposed random apartment mix up gone bad. If the post I quoted has some truth to it it makes much more sense. I included the story from my area because it shows how some female cops can do crazy things and get off.

not one word of any of this justifies what she did and the results. Not a word.

She should have been immediately arrested based on the facts on the scene

By her own admission, she killed a man on his own property completely by mistake. She made a massive mistake resulting in an innocent man's death and immediately said as much.

Her not being arrested speaks to the good ol boys mentality that police have

She didn't claim that happened in her statement. Someone else said that.

Have you read her statement? As far as I know, her agency hasn't released her official statement. Please link me to it.

sure, I understand. but if you had any concept of law and police powers, you'd understand and appreciate my post.
and again, source me her statement in which she said, "I killed a man on his own property by mistake."
if that statement has been made public, it's news to me.
and her attorney has a tough job ahead of him.
also, don't mistake my analysis as justification for her actions.
she should be fired immediately and face charges of some kind.
up to and including homicide IMO

I actually have close family on the local inner city police force. I would have expected my family to put that lady in cuffs on the spot.


The chief of police already relayed this info, I'm sure she wasn't making a guess.

firstly, if that's true why haven't you sought their input on this horrific matter?
secondly, the officer's CoP relayed what info and where is the link for that?
