Sounds like an armed home invasion...
National Review? Hard to believe, but I am glad I let my subscription lapse when they went after Trump. Hard. Before the election.
It has been reported that she was also involved with another shooting a while back...................
Police know how to write a report to exonerate themselves from any legal liability when things go south, and that’s exactly what this woman’s account sounds like.
“She “drew her firearm” and “gave verbal commands,” which she claims Jean ignored.”
I think that means that Amber is going with the RoboCop Defense.
She is a cop, always on duty, even if she is not on duty, and has been programmed not to think, just to shoot.
Meaning yes,she should do time...quite a bit of time.But this probably isn't true "first degree murder"...or anything substantially similar.
“Guyger’s blue uniform should not grant her a single advantage in the investigation and prosecution to come.”
I read the entire article. This is an OPINION PIECE, and this guy’s ‘opinion’ seems to be that she should fry.
I’ll wait for additional information.
Wonder what Mr. French’s thoughts are on the MN ‘alien’ Officer that killed the woman from Australia by shooting ACROSS his partner while still IN the cop car?
Did he write a piece on THAT killing? I’d be curious to balance it against this piece.
The incident was not a police shooting.
The woman who happened to be a police officer mistakenly believed there was an intruder within her home. The suspected intruder bewildered by her commands did not respond and she shot him.
No, criminality requires intent. She made a mistake. Murder will be hard to prove.
I'd rather wait and see what an investigation and/or trial reveals before assuming the police officer is guilty.
No, it’s not hard at all. I’m sure there are plenty of examples in Chicago alone.
In this incident at least the cop could claim it was a tragic accident or mistake.
Worst shootings include:
French should have done some more research on this. I have read that the officer and victim may have had some sort of relationship. Also on the night this happened it is said that other neighbors heard said officer shouting let me in, if true, contradicts her statement of how she got in.
Too much of her story stinks, hopefully the truth will come out.
She needs to be put down with the needle.
She’s a criminal, a murderer, and a liar it seems now.
Not surprised the Blue Line might try to protect her either.
Was this female cop (I know, I know, don’t go there) tested for alcohol or drug use after the incident?
I agree with the general idea of this piece, though. A cop is not above the law.
She is going to get a pussy pass and a cop pass. The fact she isnt on a murder 2 charge shows this is how it will play out.
Further a woman shot a man, hence no female group outrage or negative press spin on her, men are disposable and women are victims who just have unfortunate accidents.
Fuch modern society for all this. Fuch feminism. Fuch the police state we created that gives two tier justice to elites, their lackeys and then all of us lowly peons.
Murder II. I’m just sayin’
First Degree Murder requires premeditation.
Murder in the Second Degree accurately describes her actions as there was no premeditation. 40 years in prison will be an appropriate punishment.
She deserves to be found guilty of some form of negligent homicide. I don’t think she went there with the intent to harm this individual in his home.
None the less she caused his death.
Some of the comments in this article are downright silly.
You don’t fire off warning shots. You shoot to kill, if you are in fear of imminent attack on your person or the person of another. The fact she didn’t fire a warning shot, doesn’t prove she was wrong. It proves the writer is wrong.
What proves her wrong is attempting to enter a home that was not her own, mis-perceiving the homeowner as a burglar, and then barking orders he naturally wouldn’t follow, and then shooting him dead. He wouldn’t follow her orders, because to him she was an armed invader. She appeared to be an armed robber.
She deserves to do some serious time in prison.
Warning shots in a home setting like this, could kill an individual in another unit of the building.
There is also the question of whether she was in fact in fear for her life. Did he approach her in a threatening manner? How as he dressed? Was he barefoot and casual? Could this have tipped her off, he wasn’t likely a burglar?
She really screwed up her.
