5 Dallas police officers were gunned down in cold blood not that long ago by a Black Lives Matter activist.....just saying. What does that have to do with this?
To: DoodleDawg
Because I think all of DPD officers were on edge a while after that happened. I would be.

So police can shoot an unarmed man in his own home and walk away from it? Think a bit about that statement. The issue comes down to intent, which is a necessary element for prosecution of a crime. That's for a jury to decide, which, I suppose, is why we have juries in the first place.

IIRC her claim was "well,I was tired and stressed out after a long shift"...or something of that sort.
Having worked in a big city ER for years I had many,*many* long and stressful shifts. Sometimes 8AM to Midnight...sometimes 4PM to 8AM.But never once,after such a shift,did I enter someone else's home and start shooting.

Lets turn this around. If a Black male cop was startled by an unarmed white woman who he didn’t believe should be where she was and then he shot ad killed her then should he not be charged?

Because I think all of DPD officers were on edge a while after that happened. I would be. If they are that on edge that they are that jumpy and that trigger-happy then perhaps they shouldn't be police officers?

Not defending her, but for people who dont live here, 5 Dallas police officers were gunned down in cold blood not that long ago by a Black Lives Matter activist.....just saying.Oh.....well that makes it OK then.

Some people murder their neighbors for no reason at all.
Evidently the Texas Rangers are just now discovering this.

Those of us who served in the military can all recall the stresses of "long shifts". Going (nearly) sleepless for 4-5 days during tac evals were par for the course. My first two years in Germany, I was pulling staff duty officer at least once a week, often more. That was followed by a full day at work the next day.
The mental gymnastics being performed in support of Amber are worthy of Olga Korbut.

The issue comes down to intent, which is a necessary element for prosecution of a crime. So if she did not intend to shoot him but was just reacting to a situation then the killing is justified? What about the scenario I outlined in reply 25. Should the police officer be charged with a crime?
To: Mr Ramsbotham
BS. She walked into his house and shot him.
Argue manslaughter because she was drunk if you like... but she is responsible.

Ramsbotham, this lying cop is going down. She is a perfect example of an idiot cop who shoots first and lies later. You should not be defending her.

Not guilty of premeditated murder, but would seem to be guilty of a lesser charge? I feel sorry for her, but one cannot just kill innocent people and face no consequences. Police need to be judged by the same standards as civilians.
If a civilian CCW had walked into the wrong apartment, and shot a police officer he found there, does anyone doubt he would face charges?

The issue comes down to intentBullsh!t It comes down to actions.
E.g. While speeding* I run over you. I obviously didn't intend to run over you, but run over you I did. So in your mind I didn't commit a crime?
*A somewhat lesser offense than breaking into someone's house
