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

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

Protest in a nutshell for those who don’t get it.  And we don’t at this point know the races of these two people.  The problem is cops are not held accountable when they murder.

Anybody else enters someone’s home and shoots them and says, “oops, wrong apartment “ gets arrested for murder.

You were saying?  The phony outrage is getting old man.

Should have been arrested at the scene.  Should be charged with murder, not manslaughter.  Anything else is treating her differently than anyone else.

Sure buddy, whatever you say

Isn't murder premeditated? Just maybe she made an actual mistake. She should be punished, but murder? Nah...

No.  1st degree is premeditated. 2nd degree is intend to kill or reckless disregard for human life.  Manslaughter is negligent homocide.

This sounds like an honest mistake.  That would make it manslaughter

She intended to kill. And I am not buying honest mistake, people don’t accidentally walk into the wrong apartment and not notice the furniture is wrong and start shooting.

[Dave Gray]

Oh she definitely meant to kill that guy.  That’s no mistake

[BuccaneerBrad]

Oh she definitely meant to kill that guy.  That’s no mistake

But she went into the wrong apartment and thought it was hers and she was being burglarized.  That was the mistake.  If she wasn't a cop, would this be a big deal?

Complete BS.

You walk into the wrong place and your response is that someone has "burglarized your home" by replacing all of your furniture, pictures, etc. with different ones?

This does not pass the smell test.

Okay, let’s flip it.  Jean enters the police officers apartment, kills her and claims that he thought it was his apartment.

Would he be allowed to leave the scene pending a later warrant for manslaughter or would he been immediately arrested on home invasion and murder?

Would the name of the shooter be withheld to protect the accused privacy?

Would the right be claiming this is an unfortunate mistake or be demanding a wall be built between the US and St. Lucia?

Would the police department say they have more questions than answers or would they call this a case of an immigrant murdering a cop in her own home?

The problem goes well beyond what she did to how she is being treated in relationship to how anyone else would be treated.

So, what some of you are claiming is that this person purposefully just walked into a strangers dwelling and murdered him out of the blue? What's the motive? Unless there's some info we don't know about or some history between the two. Then I'm not buying that scenario.

I'm confused by both parties. Who walks into the wrong apartment? Who leaves an apartment door unlocked? I lived in one for a couple years and I just can't fathom doing either.

In my opinion, exterior apartments, it would be harder to walk into the wrong unit. Apartments with interior corridors would be easier to mistake.
