in the wrong classroom or in front of the wrong office door in the building where I taught and had my office.

That part of her story is probably true. The part where she is guilty is in going immediately to deadly force, with no warning, no evidence that he was armed, as cops so typically do when they see a black man, is the unreasonable part.

I can see how she was startled, and being much smaller was scared, but she shot so immediately that she has to be held accountable at least for manslaughter.

1. She ended her shift & returned to the CORRECT police department
2. She clocked out using the CORRECT time clock
3. She retrieved her CORRECT belongings from the CORRECT locker
4. She went to the CORRECT parking lot & retrieved her CORRECT car using the CORRECT set of keys
5. She then drove .2 miles on the CORRECT side of the street using CORRECT hand & eye coordination & observing all CORRECT traffic laws
6. She turns her car into the CORRECT apt building............ Wait For It....NEXT IS WHERE THEY WANT US TO BELIEVE AN ACUTE ONSET OF BLINDNESS & AMNESIA TOOK PLACE!
7. She is now CONFUSED & parks on the WRONG garage floor on the WRONG side of the building
8.She gets out of the CORRECT car & locks the doors with the CORRECT keys & takes her CORRECT personal belongings.
9. She takes the stairs &/or elevator to the WRONG FLOOR
10. With her eyes open (The same ones used in the preceeding events & she used all day) She walks to the WRONG apt door
11. At this door is a RED DOORMAT that she has never seen before & located on the side of the door is where the apt number can be visualized( Sorry I forgot she went blind)
12. According to different reports she either A. Bangs & yells on the WRONG door because her CORRECT keys won't open the WRONG door & Mr. Botham answers the door & is shot.
B. Stated WRONG door was UNLOCKED & she enters the WRONG dark apt and SUDDENLY REGAINS HER SIGHT & sees an unknown male & fires her police issued weapon at suspect striking him in the chest
13. At this point she turns on the light & realizes she is in the WRONG APT & shot the WRONG PERSON
14. She regains her vision & calls 911 (It has not been reported that she began CPR on Mr. Jean)
15. EMS & police arrive in 4 minutes and per a video taken by a tenant & posted on social media said officer can be seen pacing hallways & talking on phone (family? lawyer?)
16. EMS is seen providing CPR to Mr. Jean who is subsequently taken to & pronounced dead at a local Dallas Hospital
17. Officer sleeps in a comfortable bed & remains free without charges for 3 days because this has been described to the public as " A VERY SPECIAL CASE" 18. Mr. Jean is placed on a cold slab in the coroner's morgue as his family flies thousands of miles from St. Lucia to identify their beloved son & brother's body
19. 72 hrs later officer is charged with manslaughter in the death of Mr. Jean & posts 10% of the $300K bail is back home with her family.

People need to quit making excuses...she screwed up and needs to be held accountable for her actions!

And do you really want someone like this as police officer???

any non police officer would be.

was improper and prevented it from locking in some cases (a huge liability problem for the apartment complex). Her keys were in the door. No one is testifying that they heard the banging or the demand to be let in.

That doesn't change the fact that at best she was grossly negligent, fired at the victim from distance with a clear path of retreat in evidence, or that the victim would have no conceivable reason to confront a police officer.

Also her callous behavior after the shooting is disgusting.

The police also gave her plenty of time to clean up all texts and social media (note some texts between her and her partner/lover have never been recovered). The Texas Rangers were effectively cheerleaders for her (which makes me doubt that state investigators are going to be any better than local law enforcement when investigating officer shootings).

The murdering cop needs to be behind bars.
