Dallas officer kills man after mistaking his apartment for her own

[TexasDevilDog]

How do you walk in to the wrong apartment, a confrontation starts, by the guy saying something like, bitch you are in my apartment and you look around and think huh, this ain't my shit, I am shooting your ass for messing with my stuff?

So much hasn't been told yet. Ya, how did she mistakenly enter the wrong apartment? How does a police officer mistakenly shoot someone in that circumstances? I'm not saying that there is a serious issue with lack of training here but unless the guy is lunging at her with a knife, I don't see how the guy was shot accidentally.

I'm betting that there was some sort of relationship going on here and this was premeditated.

WTF does her being a police officer have anything to do with this beyond making the headline politicized? All that happened was a person walked into the wrong apartment, was confused and then frightened by the tenant of said apartment, and then shot them. Being a police officer has nothing to do with the incident. There are a ton of people who carry and aren't LEO. Drop all the BS training, responsibility, etc. Each and every person who carries a gun has the exact same responsibility as the LEO did here. Oh, and I agree there should be a capital charge.

Because everyone expects this case to get special treatment because she's an officer and hopefully the media attention prevents that from happening.

We will see.

Nothing to see here folks! She'll get paid administrative leave, an investigation where she is found to have no wrong doing and put back on the streets to kill again.

The murderer being a police officer is what makes the story remarkable instead of just another murder. In general police officers don't make these kind of mistakes and when they do it's newsworthy. In the past officers had enough of a conscience to take responsibility for their own actions and end themselves for this kind of mistake. Only time will tell if this woman has what it takes.

She's gonna get paid leave and be back on the job when the fuss blows over.

That's pretty much what I expect out of the younger generation of police officers.

What's really surprising to me is the shock that police officers have when they discover that frequently the public doesn't trust or like them any longer.

Before seeing a deputy try and buy a gummy hummer with a beer I'd think this was crazy talk.

So if an officer is put on paid leave, gets put on trial, gets convicted, do they have to pay back the money, or does the police union protect them even then?

Not a lawyer, but I would expect that paid leave benefits would not be required to be reimbursed since the officer is not yet convicted, only accused while on leave. If this goes to trial and the officer is convicted, a jury could always include a fine with the sentence as a after the fact means of reimbursement

Pfft. Woman cops. Whos stupid idea was that

[svauto-erotic855]

Society as a whole came up with that idea.

[Gasser64]

Well you know what they say about society.
