I am in retail for over 20 years.
For the past 13 years, my stores have participated in the Black Friday madness. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving where mobs of people fight to buy items on sale. On the previous day, Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, we eat our family turkey dinner and I try to be asleep by 10 pm. Then I wake up around 2 am after only 4 hours sleep if I am lucky to even get that many, shower, get dressed and drive to one of my stores to get there around 3 so we can be ready to open the doors at 4 am. By the time we close up and go home, it's way after midnight, 20 1/2 hours later. I get home around 1 am and then I shower, eat, and go to sleep and by the time my head hits the pillow, I have been up for 24-25 hours straight or longer with only about 3-4 hours sleep in the past 37 hours. In 13 years, I have never left the store after a 20 1/2 hours shift including breakfast, lunch and dinner on the premises and gotten in my car and drove to the wrong house in the wrong neighborhood and caught myself trying to enter the wrong home. Oh and then it's up at 6 am to be ready to go back to the store on Saturday morning to open the doors at 8 am. |

http://mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/black-man-shot-dead-home-13215879 1. constantly reminding us of the race of the police officer and the victim. There has been no conclusive evidence that's what motivated this shooting. 2. stop reminding folks that the police officer had a shooting while on duty in 2017 - she was protecting herself and her fellow officers after a suspect took her Taser away from her. That suspect has since pleaded guilty, tried in court and sentenced to prison time. People need to stop speculating and spreading rumours and false facts on social media and on the internet and let the Texas Rangers do their investigation. |

"Guyger believed Jean, who was wearing only underwear, was an intruder and shot him with her service weapon."
Because he was the underwear burglar? |

This would suggest that she knew the man and that there may have been a much more deviant occurrence. It would mean that it was not happenstance at all but planned maybe. She seemed to be pursuing an interaction. I get going to the wrong door but like everyone mentions there are too many steps along the way that would give way to obvious clues well before an interaction at the door. Something is fishy, for sure. I'd be very surprised if it was drugs as it sounds like she was eager to cooperate If I'm to be genuinely honest, I don't know what any of this could mean. In the middle of typing this I was trying to verify the heresy mentioned above and learned she's been arrested and that there is more evidence than what was mentioned. Obviously the witness testimonies will be the pivotal bearing into finding out what really happened |

Female Dallas cop who killed man in his home charged with manslaughter
Last edited by ghost2509; 10th September 2018 at 05:12.
foxnews.com Samuel Chamberlain Sept 9, 2018 A white Dallas police officer who shot and killed a black man in his apartment after she mistook it for her own has been arrested and charged with manslaughter, authorities said Sunday. Officer Amber Guyger, 30, was booked into the Kaufman County Jail Sunday evening after Texas Rangers arrested her in connection with the shooting of 26-year-old Botham Jean. She was later released after posting a $300,000 bond. Investigators say that Guyger, a four-year veteran of the Dallas Police Department, shot Jean at around 10 p.m. Thursday, when she returned to her apartment building in the South Side Flats following her shift. She reported the shooting to dispatchers and she told officers who responded that she had mistaken Jean's apartment for her own. Members of Jean's family questioned Guyger's explanation for the shooting and claimed that the fact she had remained free days after the shooting showed she was receiving favorable treatment. "If it was a white man, would it have been different?" Jean's mother Allison asked Friday. "Would she have reacted differently?" Dallas Police Chief U. Renee Hall said the officer's blood was drawn at the scene so that it could be tested for alcohol and drugs. Investigators haven't released the results of those tests. It has since been revealed that Guyger shot another man, Uvaldo Perez, while on duty in May 2017. According to an affidavit in the case filed against Perez, police were looking for a suspect when Guyger and another officer were called to assist a third. Perez got out of a car and became combative with Guyger and another officer. A struggle began and Guyger fired her Taser at Perez, who then wrested it away from her. She then drew her gun and fired, wounding Perez in the abdomen. Guyger was not charged in the 2017 shooting. |

The family of the victim and the media needs to stop making this about a white on black crime, more specifically a white police officer on a black man crime.
Let the investigators and the prosecutors and the court system figure it out based on facts and evidence and not on hearsay, speculations and social media rumours. Code:
http://cnn.com/2018/09/09/us/amber-guyger-arrest-botham-shem-jean/index.html That occurred while she was on duty in 2017 and the suspect has since been charged and subsequently pleaded guilty: Code:

http://dallasnews.com/news/crime/2018/09/09/internet-wrong-botham-jean-officer-amber-guyger-didnt-pose-together-photo If she is found not guilty by a trial of her peers, so be it. End of story. |

The family of the victim just lost someone to an officer for no crime at all. Under the circumstances that are known they can accuse and think what they want! Let them grieve and don't expect them to have the super human objectivity you may possess. In light of a lot of the life experience in AA communities their theories aren't entirely off base. Allow them that As far as Guyger's previous shooting involvement, It may or may not be telling or show a pattern unrecognizable by us keyboard warriors. It happens all the time by the police and people who think any non whites are criminals. We can all show a bit of control and restraint but it is not our place to dictate how the victims should feel Lastly, whether Guyger is charged correctly and prosecuted equally and in a non-biased manor. If she is found guilty or not it is only "end of story" for you and I and anyone who thinks the law is fair. Lots of people do not share this sentiment and should be allowed, end of story |

If you do not have at least military experience, you are not in a position to understand what
the correct use of the weapon means. If i do not make a mistake in the state of Texas it is permissible for weapons, if the incident was with a simple citizen you would have the same opinion that you have now? The police officer's work is stressful but his experience and professionalism determine him, for me the incident does not give any absolute justification to the policewoman. For one more time the system failure. |
