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

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.

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

Agreed. I don't care what the cop is saying, I'd be yelling "Get the f* out of my place!". And we all know cops have guns, so we're not going to mess with them. She shot him twice in cold blood. Murder. Should never have been a cop to begin with.

She's trying to blame this guy for his own death.

Her argument is basically that every American citizen should live every moment of every day waiting for police to bust in unannounced, without a warrant, and start barking orders at us. Don't freeze in surprise or shock, because if you hesitate, you die in a hail of bullets.

She doesn't want me on that jury.

“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”

That is exactly right. What in the sam hell is going on here?! Did not respond to her commands?! In his own home?!

And they have the gall to only charge ber with manslaughter? His life was taken by recklesness? No, no, this statement of hers proves intent. This is murder.

It seems the thin blue line, drips more and more with the blood of American citizens, everyday.

I believe she’s making stuff up as she goes. She’s betting she will skate because she’s a cop. If she does, between her killing an innocent civilian and the Muslim cop killing an innocent civilian it’ll be open season on civilians.

I would LOVE to know if they can ping her cell phone activity, such as text messages being sent, or Instagram usage.

If drugs/alcohol aren’t involved, I’d bet she had her face buried in her cell phone when she got off at the wrong floor and tried to enter the wrong apartment.

How many times are you stuck at a stoplight behind a driver who doesn’t see the light turn green because they’re staring at their phone? How many times do you get into an elevator and everyone immediately pulls their phones out?
