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

Stats don't really bear that out as a problem. Cops behaving with impunity seems far more common.

It's not as common but it's happened far to many times.
Also the chances of just plain old human error go way up with someone carrying "hot".
Hell, I just talked to a gal that was working in a coffee shop in a nearby town when a gun went off during her shift. Some "hero" could have easily killed someone in coffee shop that's never been robbed or shot up.
Ja, these fooking idiots concern me. I play chess there sometimes and so far the odds are you'll be shot by a idiot that's hoping to be a hero.

my uncle walked into the wrong building once and accidentally shot 12 people.
 
This shit is unreal. The Ranger who determined that Jean was a threat and that Guyger didn't commit a crime got away with killing a person in a wreck that he caused while driving double the speed limit for no particular reason in a state vehicle.

Link is in the second tweet.

Could you fill me in on this? Trying to follow the case but don't have time to actually watch any streams, and the news stories don't really mention this. Thanks

Basically he used a picture that wasn't as reliable because stuff in the apartment had been moved. He had the victim standing exactly where the ironing board was in the apartment but he didn't know that cause the picture he used was from when stuff was moved in the apartment. It destroyed his whole testimony.

For sure. If anything, the fact that this happens so regularly shows how unreasonable her behavior was. All the other times this has happened and it rarely ever even results in shouting, much less shooting.

This is both a logical and reasonable response that I agree with. However, it can cast doubt in the mind of the jurors and her entire defense relies on painting the picture that she believed it was her apartment.

Did you ever define murder like that one poster asked?

I'm the one who asked. I ended up posting the link to the Texas penal code since so many people here have no fucking idea what the definitions of any of the homicide-related offenses are.
 
I think I racked out or left and forgot, but I did see that. I think "murder" implies some kind of malicious intent, not just a tragic mistake. At the same time, people get charged with murder for DUI accidents if they kill someone and obviously their intent is to get home to get drunk another day, so there's that.

I still maintain they can't get a murder charge out of this tragic incident and should have aimed lower because they are simply fueling the fires of riot by overcharging.

She intended to put bullets in the guy's chest. Sounds malicious to me.

I think she intended to kill him.

But let's do a little thought experiment. If she actually was in her apartment and she shot an intruder, her intent would be the same but it would be a lot easier to justify. The legal question here is do you have to be right about your location for this to be justifiable homicide? I don't know the answer.

Just realized that the link is paywalled for some people. Here's another one that references the accident.

That's just it, isn't it?

She "feared for her life"...

That's nice hun, but it wasn't your apartment. That guy, the guy you shot, had more to fear than you. Now after you blew him away, you get all this circumstantial shit to justify your fears?

Huh? Nah, you fucked up. You go away for a while, and get to think about your actions, ya dumb broad.

Seems like an easy answer. Fuck yeah you have to be right. Why on Earth wouldn't you? Because she's a cop does she get to shoot first and ask questions later?
