OF COURSE white and black are the most important parts of the article.
MLK certainly had flaws, but he was A CUT ABOVE al and jesse.
And sadly, the content of a man’s character will NEVER be more important than the color of his skin to dems.
If as a cop you are so scared that you can’t respond to a non-emergency call without pulling a trigger blindly through an open window, you should tell someone so they can kick you off the force before you murder anyone.
Amazing how quick the fake legacy news media can report on the race of all those involved when it fits the narrative.
This is the case they pretended Saints Purple Drank and Swisher Sweets were.
If victim white, would be manslaughter, local news not national news.
Since victim is black, its murder. Hate crime if you can find any social media posts that suggests prejudice, or old acquaintances that will testify to prejudice.
Stupid cop, he shoulda killed a White Christian housewife, he woulda got away with it clean.
With solid video evidence, this cop should cop a plea. As we learned during the Guyger case, Texas murder law is a bit strange. Of course, this happened on duty, so we are in some different territory here. Considering how quick he was fired/quit and charged with murder, he will be lucky if they will accept Criminal Homicide, but he might be able to cop a plea for Manslaughter. If Murder, he likely gets a stiffer sentence than Guyger, as he is not a member of any protected class. I’m sure he followed the Guyger trial, so he knows the score.
Excellent!
We have a deputy here that might need to find a new job.
This one reads like a bad shoot to me.
Second-degree murder is defined as an intentional killing that was not premeditated. In some states, second-degree murder also encompasses “depraved heart murder,” which is a killing caused by a reckless disregard for human life.
However, I think manslaughter is probably the more apt charge in this case. Not excusing his actions, but I think it is a tragic accident committed by a relatively new cop who blew it badly.
Manslaughter - the crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or otherwise in circumstances not amounting to murder.
It's a sad situation all around.
How long did it take for that Somali cop who shot that woman asking for help?
Who plays video games with an 8yr old at 2:30 in the morning? What the hell was wrong with her?
Why would anyone want to go into law enforcement in the US anymore, when they charge you with murder for a mistake? A horrible mistake, but still a mistake, not murder.
It was Murder.

This is really tragic but not murder. Definitely manslaughter and incredible stupidity. Shame on the media trying to make this into a racial thing.
Throw the book at him!!
I wonder if the poor 8 year old who witnessed the death of his Aunt will be called to testify? The thought of that child witnessing such horror breaks my heart.
I believe I read the Cop shot her in the face.
Here comes the Lynch mob. Out to appease the blacks. Murder?? The victim was holding a gun. The victim was not at fault, but this is not murder. Manslaughter? Perhaps. This quick murder charge is nothing more than appeasement.
