A 30-year old off-duty Dallas police officer has been arrested and charged with manslaughter in the shooting death of 26-year-old Botham Shem Jean on Thursday night.

Four-year Dallas police veteran Amber Guyger was taken into custody at 7:20 p.m., according to Kaufman County jail records.

Guyger’s Bond was set at $300,000 and she posted bail less than an hour after being arrested, jail records stated.

Moments earlier on Sunday, Jean’s family attorney Lee Merritt met with Dallas County District Attorney Faith Johnson presenting new evidence and demanding that Guyger be taken into custody.

Guilty automatically because the victim was black and the shooter was Whitey The Cop How does anyone other than the cop know what his reaction was upon seeing a cop, if he did at all? Let the facts play out. And recognize the typical racial hysteria from the usual actors and their lapdog media

Normally I'd agree with you, because 99% of the time the "innocent black killed by racist whitey cop" stories are distortions or outright lies. However, the fact that this police officer's story is that she walked into the wrong apartment by accident seems absurd. When is the last time you walked into someone else's house on accident thinking it was your own?

“Had he shot her for breaking and entering his apartment, he would still be locked-up, and would not be getting out anytime in this century”

You’re full of S*** on that one. This was in Texas, he would have been in the right. You have jumped to a lot of conclusions on little or no facts on this thread

“Did she actually walk in? I haven’t seen that.”

Maybe she just blasted him from the hallway.

She still had no reason or excuse to be shooting.

Put in the hands of a Dallas County jury.

I just don’t like the chances of a person charged with shooting a cop who is in their uniform.

You don’t know that, Sue. You don’t know what movements or noises or words that might’ve been made in the split seconds

That area has undergone gentrification but it is surrounded by the worst of Dallas

He was in his very own apartment, he can say what ever he wants.

“That area has undergone gentrification but it is surrounded by the worst of Dallas.”

If Officer Amber plays the Gentrification Defense, that Dallas County jury will send her away for decades.

Shooting a police officer in uniform? He'd be in prison and would never breath free air again.

Wow. She’s spending her Sunday night knowing most of America is thinking she’s the stupidest woman in the country. What must THAT be like?

Her victim's family is spending their Sunday night making funeral arrangements. What must THAT be like?

Another tragedy from affirmative action if you ask me

Because there has never, ever been an incompetent white male cop, has there?

“Because there has never, ever been an incompetent white male cop, has there?”

Just a couple weeks ago, a Dallas County jury sent an incompetence cop to prison.

That would have been cut and dried justified shooting by the rightful inhabitant. The cop here effed up bad, no doubt, but wait for some facts. Manslaughter seems reasonable at present. Murder, no way with what little is known

Not at all. The story is already being crafted to justify her shooting an unarmed man: Dallas Officer Claims Botham Jean Ignored Her ‘Verbal Commands’.
