A Dallas police officer who fatally shot her neighbor in his apartment, claiming she mistook the unit for her own, told the authorities that the door was already ajar when she entered and that she shot him after he ignored verbal commands, according to court records released on Monday.
The officer, Amber R. Guyger, 30, who has been charged with manslaughter, could face additional charges in a case that has led to accusations that the officer received preferential treatment and debate about whether race may have played a role in the deadly encounter between a white police officer and a black man in his home.
On Monday, the Dallas County district attorney, Faith Johnson, insisted that the investigation into the death of the neighbor, Botham Shem Jean, 26, had not ended and that her office could seek charges including anything from murder to manslaughter.
Well present a thorough case to the grand jury so that a right decision can be made, Ms. Johnson said at a news conference.

Yeah, when a police officer enters my home without permission or warrant and issues "verbal commands", there's a problem and it's not with me. This officer's story stinks more every day.

cuz he was in his OWN HOUSE, dumb a$$.
LOTS of home invaders pretend they’re cops.

Why should he obey commands from a stranger while in his own home?

I was hoping that she would be not guilty, but it appears she is guilty.

No one more than the female cop herself realistically understands her physical limitations, promptly setting aside all the PC ideology.
They RUSH to use lethal force.

not saying it applies here, but generally the more by lines the more fake news.

I understand how she could accidentally walk into the wrong apartment thinking she was on her own floor. I DON’T UNDERSTAND how she did not know once she walked in that it was not her apartment, it was not so dark that she couldn’t see him, right?

I find this very hard to believe. She was either drunk or stoned, or there is something else going on.
