French as usual soils himself halfway through the article.

I’m not disputing the facts of the case. I was just curious as to whether this author gave the same concern to the shooting in MN.

An INNOCENT person died there at the hands of a cop, too, but it was a black on white shooting, versus a white on black shooting.

In the world of ‘urinalists’ there seems to be a difference on how they cover the stories.

The claim of racial preference holds some merit in that the cop was let go to run around for three days while a black, male, non-cop who did the same thing would have absolutely been thrown in jail.

Exactly! Didn’t know her own apartment. What was she on?

Minnesota: Black male cop shoots innocent white woman.
Texas: White female cop shoots innocent black man.

Will justice be meted out in both cases or will ‘protected’ classes be let free?

I bet her fellow (male) officers are gonna demand a sh*tload of sexual favors in return for keeping quiet.

... she saw a “large silhouette” across the room, and she believed she was facing a burglar.

The first rule of firearms safety is...

Know your target and what is beyond.

Know your target not believe your target is. She didn't know who her target was. She didn't know what her target was doing. She didn't even know what apartment she was in. She didn't know any of the most basic facts about the situation she was in.

When you pull the trigger on a gun you need to know what you're doing. Not just who and what the target is but the whole situation.

Indeed, she should hang. As a message and a warning to all the other jackboots who shoot first and ask questions never. She needs the needle, but sadly won’t get it.

You are correct, but she walked the streets for 72 hours after the shooting.

I heard bail was set at $300,000, which she paid.

Is that how she raised the money?

If they had some sort of relationship and he was breaking up with her, who knows. I still want to see the Tox screen.

He spurned her and she responded by killing him.

Nothing else makes sense.

Absolutely. This seems to be lost on many. You don't blindly fire a gun into the dark, especially if you are a cop. This female cop needs to go to prison for 2nd degree murder, plain and simple.

Know your target, retreat to safety until sure of your target. At the least, she should have called for backup until the situation was known, and should never have fired twice to kill someone in what she says was a large silhouette in the dark. It could have been a grandma holding a couple babies in arms. Guilty cop.

If she in fact really did think that it was her apt. then everything she perceived about the situation after that was false.

Knowing who/what your target is and the background is just the start. You need to know all about the situation before you drop the hammer. And she was a cop.

Exactly. Break into my house and if you are lucky the dogs will take you down or, depending on which firearm I grab, you will have a colostomy bag or be dead.

If he had plugged her, he would probably be in jail right now....

Screw ‘Whataboutism’

The facts of any other shooting mean nothing in evaluating this one. Even suggesting a comparison is disgusting. If there had been 10 thousand such shootings, or none it would make no difference in that this bitch deserves Mr. Happy Needle.

Not that I don’t think the cop in MN shouldn’t fry, too, but I hate relative morality, be it from left or right.

David, yes, this is a problem. Now take your leftist narrative and shove it. The adults will handle it from here. And any facts that match your babbling are mere coincidence. Go away.

My thoughts went in the direction of yours. He mentioned ‘black men,’ like it’s only black men being affected by poor and/or criminal decisions made by cops. He lost a great deal of credibility when he expressed such a narrow-minded concern.

Fuch modern society for all this. Fuch feminism. Fuch the police state we created that gives two tier justice to elites, their lackeys and then all of us lowly peons.

What about the whipped men who will cave at the first perceived opportunity (real or imagined) to get some? That has a lot to do with why many women get lighter sentences for the same crimes.

“””That’s what I’m sayin’! ;)”””


Minnesota: Black male cop shoots innocent white woman.
Texas: White female cop shoots innocent black man.


One thing I overlooked is that in Minnesota it was a Black Male Somali Cop who shot and killed an innocent white woman.

I have checked the internet and could find no information as to where Amber Guyger was born and what is her ethnic background.

If Amber Guyger also has recent immigrant status by herself or through her parents, then both of these cops could have double ‘protected class’ status.

Silence by the media on Amber Guyger’s background is usually indicative they are intentionally omitting it because it goes against their political beliefs.
