I did it in slow motion. That's the way it looks alright.

There is a framegrab from the officer’s bodycam just before the shot. It was at point blank range, maybe 2 feet. His gun was about a foot from the window and she was at the window, looking out. I imagine both shooter and victim were startled, but there is no excuse for the shooting.
Unfortunately, the cops entered the backyard with the mindset that they were in the midst of a violent crime. In that mindset, the officer was bound to shoot the first person he saw. Amber Guyger had that same mindset when she entered the wrong apartment and shot Botham Jean.
