Mayor Mike Rawlings said Saturday that he’s sure justice will be served for Botham Shem Jean.

Jean, 26, was killed in his own apartment on Thursday night by an off-duty, uniformed Dallas Police officer who said she mistook Jean’s apartment for her own when she got off work at about 10 p.m.

Dallas Police Chief Renee Hall said yesterday “at my request, we are in the process of obtaining a warrant based on the circumstances we have now.” She later added the warrant would be for manslaughter.

I understood she was in the hallway and not in his or her house.

There are a lot of good cops,

Where are they? Are they organizing? If not, why not? Do they actually exist?

“Texas is pretty liberal about shooting someone in YOUR own home.”

Texas is a Castle Law State. But, this is not a Castle Law case.

>>>I’m betting there was some kind of relationship between the two,or she wished there was<<<

OK, where in the Wild World of Sports did you ever come up with that “theory”? You sound like the Leftists who said the Woman seated behind Judge Kavanaugh was using Gang Signs.

How much is the Bet anyway? LOL

LOL why do I sound like a leftist if I have trouble believing she shot him because she didn’t know where her own apartment was?

I don't know the victim, but college students at my church do. Below is an excerpt from a FB post from a friend. FYI: Harding University is a private Christian college located in Searcy, Arkansas.

Harding University 2016 grad Botham Jean was shot and killed in Dallas last night after an off duty police officer allegedly mistakenly walked into his apartment thinking it was hers.

Here is a video of him leading In Christ Alone at the Harding Lectureships in 2014.

Thanks be to God that he lived, that he faithfully served, and that his work will continue on in others. May we all live a life of service to God and others like Bo did.

This world is not my home!

At a press conference, which you can watch above, Hall said, “My condolences to the Botham Shem Jean family. We want to be and we will be as transparent in this investigation as we can be.”

TRANSLATION: We will tell a court IF forced to and have the Records Sealed.
