National Review? Hard to believe, but I am glad I let my subscription lapse when they went after Trump. Hard. Before the election.

Police know how to write a report to exonerate themselves from any legal liability when things go south, and that’s exactly what this woman’s account sounds like.

I find David French and NRO to be insufferable.

Whenever somebody proclaims their piety my impulse is to guard my wallet.

In this article, however, his criticism is spot on.

“She “drew her firearm” and “gave verbal commands,” which she claims Jean ignored.”

I think that means that Amber is going with the RoboCop Defense.

She is a cop, always on duty, even if she is not on duty, and has been programmed not to think, just to shoot.

If she intended to kill this guy then yes,it could be seen as being among the worst.But if she did,*in fact*,accidentally enter the wrong apartment and then panicked when she found an "intruder" in the apartment then this isn't much different than a guy getting drunk,starting his car and killing a pedestrian.

Meaning yes,she should do time...quite a bit of time.But this probably isn't true "first degree murder"...or anything substantially similar.

“Guyger’s blue uniform should not grant her a single advantage in the investigation and prosecution to come.”

I read the entire article. This is an OPINION PIECE, and this guy’s ‘opinion’ seems to be that she should fry.
I’ll wait for additional information.

Wonder what Mr. French’s thoughts are on the MN ‘alien’ Officer that killed the woman from Australia by shooting ACROSS his partner while still IN the cop car?

Did he write a piece on THAT killing? I’d be curious to balance it against this piece.

“Police know how to write a report to exonerate themselves from any legal liability when things go south, and that’s exactly what this woman’s account sounds like.”

The only piece of the pie that is missing is the Throw Down Weapon.

Perhaps it did not arrive from DPD HQ in time.

The incident was not a police shooting.

The woman who happened to be a police officer mistakenly believed there was an intruder within her home. The suspected intruder bewildered by her commands did not respond and she shot him.

The moment she opened the door to an apartment that wasn’t her own, she wasn’t operating as a police officer clothed with the authority of the law. She was instead a criminal.

No, criminality requires intent. She made a mistake. Murder will be hard to prove.

Sounds like French is making the transition to a full=fledge libtard.

I'd rather wait and see what an investigation and/or trial reveals before assuming the police officer is guilty.

“This is an OPINION PIECE, and this guy’s ‘opinion’ seems to be that she should fry.”

It is also my opinion that she entered the victims apartment, shot the victim, and the victim is dead.

I see so many petite women as cops who couldn’t control any situation short of shooting. Diversity for you again.

It is hard to think of a more tragic, more senseless shooting in America than the killing last week of Botham Shem Jean

No, it’s not hard at all. I’m sure there are plenty of examples in Chicago alone.

“No, criminality requires intent. She made a mistake.”

Not exactly. She intentionally pulled the trigger with the intent to kill or cause serious bodily harm.

Her “mistake” keeps her from lethal injection, not prison.

Not the worst shooting.

In this incident at least the cop could claim it was a tragic accident or mistake.

Worst shootings include:

The Execution of Daniel Shaver Crawling Toward Cop

Swat Team Executes Andrew Finch

French should have done some more research on this. I have read that the officer and victim may have had some sort of relationship. Also on the night this happened it is said that other neighbors heard said officer shouting let me in, if true, contradicts her statement of how she got in.

Too much of her story stinks, hopefully the truth will come out.
