Well, did the PD lawyers provide her counsel in the aftermath? Did the PD shrink discuss the situation? Did the PD officially do Anything regarding her as an officer? If YES, then the city ought to be on the hook.
And this, in the aftermath, let alone in the training and certification of the officer.
From the case, she certainly acted like she was on duty when she decided to order the dead lawful resident to do anything, then shot him while he was dumbfounded by her illegal and lethal actions...
She lost the criminal case at trial.
Off duty coming home from work; in her police uniform. Killed victim with weapon provided by the city.
I would think that the apartment number on the door might be something of a giveaway. Unless she was too impaired to notice that the number on the door and the number of her apartment didn’t match.
In any event, the city of Dallas is better off not having her “protecting” the populace. Shame that it cost a young man his life to do it, though.
Sickening. The officer was poorly trained and indoctrinated by the city of Dallas, therefore the city of Dallas bears some responsibility for the unlawful taking of life by the officer, who is employed by the city as a so-called police officer.
But, in this case, the intruder was an off duty cop. The key to this ruling was that she was off duty at the time. The same result would have been reached if she had been an off duty maintenance worker or an off duty inspector shooting someone.
Shortly after he shot her , a SWAT team would have shot him so many tines, that they would not have buried him. They would have sent his remains to a smelter to be melted down for the lead.
I’m so confused...
Very true.
Investigators interviewed 297 residents at the apartment complex, Armstrong said, and many of them told authorities they'd parked on the wrong floor, walked to the wrong apartment or even put their keys in the door of the wrong apartment by mistake. Armstrong parked on the wrong floor himself during the investigation, he said.
The percentage of people who'd experienced such confusion grew when police interviewed residents of the third and fourth floors, where Guyger and Jean lived, he said. For instance, while 32% of residents said they'd parked on the wrong floor, 47% of residents on the third and fourth floors said they had parked on the incorrect level.
All the keys in that building fit all the doors?
**************
Door wasn’t locked slightly ajar if I remember correctly.
I should have quoted "intruder' to illustrate that it was from the shooter's POV. Cop or no cop, using deadly force without confirming a threat to your life is wrong. I can see why the plaintiff went after the DPD, because the officer has no assets to attach.
Just sad all the way around.
More on the Guyger case.
To #17 $ 19= OSP never gave us training on being a civilian with a weapon. It was assumed if you graduated from Firearms Training, you learned, whether in a uniform or not, you could (or would be responsible). There was NEVER a segment of training I knew of that if you were undercover or a Detective you could vary from our basic training.
I hope you’re not a cop.
I was for 17 years. Why?
Doesn’t matter; he isn’t required to close/lock his door, and if a cop lives in the building I assume it isn’t an unsafe dump.
She could have shot you in your driveway using the same logic (she thought it was her driveway).
Why? Ya walked right by #17 #19 without so much as a comment. This goes FAR beyond simply firearms training. Big city cops I have experience with are *always* told/taught/trained how to survive and what to avoid while off duty and the reasons why.
You are right.
A sad case either way; if I lost someone that way I’d be livid.
READ! I Answered !7 and !9. Reading comprehension is admirable.
