Dallas police officer enters man's apartment and shoots him (split from anthem thread)

There are lots of unanswered questions, and evidence, that won't be made publicly available for a year or two-unless they decide not to charge her.  I'd be interested in hearing the 911 call.  Was she still in uniform? etc.

What's the trial in Chicago or Detroit where the victim's family has just recently received the body cam footage from two years ago?

...but the official version will be the one told at the trial. Will be interesting to see which version that is.

As long as it is understood that the "official" version of this story might not actually be the "true" version...

As it is in EVERY trial. It's up to the jury to try to determine what the actual version of events is and then base their decision on that version of the events.

Not sure why the arrest warrant would be the official version.

It's the version that she has committed to on paper, or to put it another way, it's a version that her buddies at the PD can't sweep under the rug while pretending it never existed.

So if she wants to revise it later, she will have to explain why she didn't give the correct story the first time.

She was still in uniform.

Why would there be fingerprints on the lock? Do you guys mean doorknob? I don't personally do it but I can see someone still grabbing the knob on an ajar door. Touching a lock, assuming deadbolt, makes no sense in any scenario.

Well that's just speculation on my part. I don't really know what the lock looks like, it may have very little surface area so maybe no prints. What if they just found prints on the door near the lock which would suggest that she was attempting to unlock the door? You don't need to attempt to unlock a door left ajar is my point. The doorknob wouldn't really prove anything either way as you could touch the doorknob to either attempt to unlock the door or if just opening the door if it was ajar. I'm just saying that the story has to match the evidence. If it doesn't the story is not believable. All we really have at this point is the story and very little evidence. When the evidence comes out we'll have a better shot at determining the validity of the story.

But that's not necessarily HER version. That's the version that was put to paper by whomever filled out the arrest warrant. Now maybe it's based on an interview with her, but she can easily say that's not what I said they got it wrong unless they have that interview recorded which they might. That would be very interesting to see/hear don't you think?

You don't need to attempt to unlock a door left ajar is my point.

So I googled the arrest warrant and read it.  It's really just some basic information that can satisfy a Judge to sign the arrest warrant.  The statements made by the Texas Ranger in preparing the warrant obviously are based on statements made by the suspect.  So what doesn't make sense to me (and apparently to you Pappy) is that it says the suspect inserted her key into the lock to open the door, but then says the door was already ajar.  So why would she put her key into a door that was already ajar?

Another thing I'd like to know is what were the "commands" that were ignored?  What did the victim do or say when these "commands" were given to him?

The contents of what was found in the shooters apartment has been sealed (because her privacy matters) but on the day of the victim’s funeral it was released that pot was found in his apartment. 

[Spider-Dan]

Of course it was!  These stories are never complete without the police department smearing the victim.
I presume they never found a DUI in his past, or it would have already came out.

If he had walked into her apartment and shot her, would they have sealed his apartment to protect his privacy while disclosing that she had some ecstasy pills in her dresser drawer?  The very thought is laughable.

NRA claims that if Jean had owned a gun he would have even able to defend himself and would be alive today.  What are these people smoking?

Castile’s mom, not surprisingly, disagrees with that sentiment.

[BuccaneerBrad]

Well, assuming that her story is mostly accurate and no more convincing evidence comes to light. Charge her with Manslaugher/Reckless Conduct, 5-7 years in jail and max fine of $10k. She'll have a felony, lose her career, never hold a firearm again and everything else that comes with a felony.

That sounds like a more justifiable punishment

I realize this female officer appears to be nuts but I saw this and it made me laugh. With all the "white power" symbols popping up everywhere this one kind of stood out. i have no idea if it is real or not but it is pretty funny if it is considering how quickly white people get blasted for doing this. 

[Sunstroke]

^^^ He's saying something is OK?  Or is this just one of the old "made ya look" things?

[Spider-Dan]

Based on the length of Kaep's hair in that picture, it seems like that picture was taken prior to 2016.  If so, this revelation is on par with someone finding a picture of Abraham Lincoln doing a Nazi salute 70 years before that meant something.
