I was alternately repulsed and drawn to the arguments in this article. It shouldn’t be censored, while it shouldn’t be a cause of activist SJW outrage either.
It’s just a simple question that needs to be answered. Officially.
“Toting a gun does carry certain responsibilities though.”
I apply the “what would happen to me” test to situations like this.
Prison.
This stupid cow should get the same treatment any other citizen would.

and yet it seems that its a preponderance of male cops involved with questionable shootings...
although a big strong burly cop is always a welcome sight when you need him the police....
I read a couple of articles on this yesterday, this is the first I've heard of that- not disputing it.
Sounds like a fair legal test to me.
The police department already fired her and disavowed any relationship it once had with her.News to me. Do you have a link or source? Thanks...
Hmmm ...
2) Guyger had no legal right to be in the man’s apartment
4) Guyger was engaged in defiant trespass, assault with a deadly weapon, and burglary.
I want an investigation seeking facts, a fair trial, an impartial jury, and whatever sentence (or no sentence) is decided.
What I don’t want is on Dallas TV last night. Protesters marching in downtown Dallas, preachers and other community leaders grandstanding, family attorney immediately inferring racial preference, etc. I HOPE that anyone seeking to make Dallas the next ‘Ferguson’ or whatever get a serious smackdown. Can’t tolerate stupidity or irrational behavior.
I politely beg to differ.
Guilt or innocence or shades of either aside, if the victim had been white, this would very likely be a local Dallas story, page 3ish.

And an article by David French, at that. He's a total #Never Trump'ing twit. BTW, this shooting doesn't need a critique, it needs a fast grand jury presentation followed by a trial. This cop is a sterling example of reduced qualifications.
This story and hers does not pass the smell test. I’m saying this as a retired LEO.
She had to have been drunk.
*********
What makes you think that? She had just gotten off work and
drove home, entered the wrong apartment, found someone inside
who lived there, drew her weapon and fired killing him.
If there were no blood tests for drugs and alcohol immediately after the murder, the jury will correct the coverup by the police and immediately find her guilty.
The hallway on the 3rd floor is the same as the forth.
The lights were off (she didn’t know he was black)
A “shadowy figure”, but not shadowy enough she hit him dead in the chest.
She tried her key, but the door was open (key didn’t work so she tried the handle ignoring the key fail?
He didn’t respond to her verbal commands. (his home was being invaded by a crazy woman with a gun who didn’t identify herself as an officer)
There was a red welcome mat that wasn’t hers. (but anyone can make that mistake we’re told.
His apartment # was lit by the door. (she missed that too)
Toxicology on her is not back yet. (BS, results are instant - she was hammered)
F her. Nothing a decade is prison can’t fix.

That’s not necessary anymore. All they need to “find” is a scary-looking TV remote control or cell phone. Then it’s a “good shoot” after all.
“No, criminality requires intent. She made a mistake. Murder will be hard to prove.”
She intended to pull the trigger while pointing her gun at an unarmed man. If I, as a CCW guy, walked into someone else’s apartment and shot an unarmed man minding his own business in his own apartment, it would be considered murder. You cannot legally shoot someone in most states unless you have a reasonable belief your life is in danger, or that you or others are in danger of severe injury or harm.
So...what was “the threat”? She INTENDED to kill an unarmed man who posed no threat. How is that not murder?
BTW: David French is a pathetic weenie. Just want to add that since I rarely agree with him on anything.
OTOH,I could easily vote guilty on a charge that has a maximun jail term of five years...and I'd want her to get that maximum sentence.
It seems like the cops have gone out of their way to screw up the public relations on this shooting. She could have been immediately booked on a lesser charge of say illegal entry and arraigned.
Instead the cops let her wander the streets for 3 days.
This murder and how the aftermath was handled smacks of gross incompetence by government employees. Such incompetence by government employees is becoming all too frequent.
“The hypothetical is, given it is Texas, what if she broke into the guy’s apartment and he shot her? What then?”
At the very least he’d be in jail for the next year or two while the police and the prosecutors did their damnedest to execute him and make a hero out of her.
Yes, in a struggle, a suspect grabbed her Taser, so she shot him.
