And the name of the officer is?
Photos?
The MSM has a hard time with IDing perps these days.
Don’t forget Minneapolis affirmative action hire Mohammed Noor, crazier than a bag of hammers, who shot an Australian spiritual advisor after she had called in a sexual assault. Noor was in the passenger seat of the cruiser and shot through the drivers window across his partners chest as he was talking to the women. She took the round in the abdomen and died right there in horrible pain. Jihad by men in blue?
There are cogent reasons why the press does not identify the police perps. In these kinds of cases, often involving millions of dollars in civil awards against the very leftist idjits who hired them.
I wonder if Colin will kneel for this perp. ?
I’m guessing because they all look alike from the outside.
Why would her key work?
I would be looking hard at prior relationships/interactions of this cop with the victim.
When you first walk in why don’t you recognize it is not your place?
I assume she would have locked her door. I assume it was unlocked since her key wouldn’t have worked.
PMS - Police Misfire Syndrome?
Every home is decorated and arranged differently. That it was not her dwelling should have been evident in a split second. So many questions.
I’ve opened the wrong car door before.
Didn’t recognize the clean interior without crumbs, food wrappers, and snotty tissues all over the place.
Sorry, I respect the police, but this woman is too stupid to be a police officer. What, no warning? If she has different rules of engagement for her own home vs the streets, maybe she will mixe them up one day. The department should get rid of her. She is already costing them a negligence suit.
For the first 30,or so,years of my adulthood I've owned single family homes.Never walked into a neighbor's house without a specific invitation.
But having gotten older I.like many Americans at that age,bought a condo...and have lived in the very same unit for 13+ years.
As per condo regulations...all doors must look exactly alike.Only the Condo Association is allowed to paint the exterior of doors or to put numbers on them.
Uniformity is the rule.
But I've never attempted to walk into the wrong unit and if anyone's ever tried to walk into mine they've failed.
Lacking a booze,drug or stroke angle this is a *very* weird story.
Something about how the apartment looks somewhat different from her own????
Questions:
Was the Door Unlocked?
Did the Officer put her Key into the Keyhole and just push the Unlocked Door open not realizing that the Key did not turn in the Lock?
Did the Building Owner fail to be sure all the Units had different Locks and Keys?
(once upon a time our Car Key opened the Door of an Identical Vehicle in the Mall Parking Lot before cheaper Cars like ours had Electronic Key Fobs)
I believe this Case will be reduced to Manslaughter when all is said and done.
Consider: Most entry keysets, if the door is not deadbolted, only latched (as it would be if you entered your apt and simply closed the door without deadbolting it) you insert the correct key, twist, then (only) the tumbler turns, sucks in the latch, and then the door can open.
However if you insert the WRONG key, the tumbler will not turn, but your twisting force will turn the WHOLE knob. This, too, will (for some locksets, usually cheaper ones) suck in the latch and the door can open. Just like it would if you twisted the knob.
Now it will take more twisting force to turn (with the wrong key) the whole knob, but it may not be a whole lot more.
I am just talking about the ability of the wrong key to open a “casually” latched-only door. It’s not totallyh outlandish. The human part about realizing you are in the wrong apt, well that’s another story.
If she were to find an unknown,uninvited,man in *her* she may well have been justified in shooting first and asking questions later.Particularly under what I believe to be Texas law...Castle Doctrine,etc.
Seems to me that she could be rightfully charged with something like "negligent homicide" but I doubt that there was any planning of any sort.It seems highly unlikely that she was planning to rob the place or to hurt anyone.
I wasn’t assuming that the door knob was that crappy.
Given what little I know about this case I might not willing to vote "guilty" on anything more than "negligent homicide" which,I assume,is at least one notch down,severity-wise,from "manslaughter".
The builder got a great offer for a set of locks for the whole complex from some Chinese company...?
>>>Given what little I know about this case I might not willing to vote “guilty” on anything more than “negligent homicide” which,I assume,is at least one notch down,severity-wise,from “manslaughter”<<<
You may be right. Never occurred to me.
I was thinking they wouldn’t be able to prove First or even Second Degree Murder. Negligent Homicide sounds about right. A very sad situation all around.
I’ve never done that. Anyone here do that?
