Generally, if something will justify or lend support to a cops story, their own departments will make sure it gets in the press. It's done all the time, probably daily.
And I can't think of any scenario where there would be some justification for this event, since the Dallas police officer herself who fatally shot her neighbor to death, admitted she had mistaken his apartment for hers and shot him dead.
I would think if anything has yet to be revealed, it won't be in her favor.
Please don't tell me they were hired based on their ability.
So not hiring women police officers guarantees a competent police force? Really?
So, if I accidently walk into the wrong house, and kill the resident, it’s just an “Ooopies! But, I still did the right thing!”
Gosh, you’re a gem.
