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?

She might eat her gun.

[Alas Babylon!]

Well, Botham Jean isn’t spending nor will ever spend a Sunday night knowing anything, ‘cause he’s dead.

IMHO, she got the better deal.

I wish reporters on this story would say that! Good point.

Just think, she's at the wrong apartment, and the black resident opens the door. She is in full uniform as a cop. As a good upstanding citizen (resident is a hard working accountant), he is not going to attack a cop at his doorway. He presents no danger to the cop, other than her fears and possible bias towards blacks.

A normal cop doesn't blindly shoot. There are other ways to deal with her thoughts of a black man answering what she thought was her apartment, certainly non-lethal ways to diffuse the situation. The man presented no danger to her.

She shot him twice, that's deadly force. And that was certainly stupid.

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