Cop Enters Wrong Apartment, kills Neighbor - No Charges

[CanadianJudo]

at best this is manslaughter at worst its murder.

she shouldn’t get off.

Yes a mistake like that can happen if the floors are identical and the person is distracted by something else.

However, the first report indicated she tried to unlock the door and the key didn’t work, which should have been her first clue something was wrong. The big red mat outside his door should have been the second.

Her later version claimed the door was slightly ajar and that it was dark but she could make out a figure when she opened the door. Why would he be in his apartment with the door slightly open, and siting there in the dark?

Neither version of the story makes sense.

Witnesses lying does happen, I only said I don’t think it happens a lot. Most of them don’t have any reason to lie, unless they are a friend or relative.

Some people can be honestly mistaken, which is different from a deliberate lie.

Don’ know if the witnesses in this case are being truthful or not. But if they didn’t report anything to the police it’s suspicious.

The family is after money- big money.
They know the cop doesn’t have anything. They’re trying to build a case against the City of Dallas. Keep that in mind as this goes along.

They just lost a family member because the cop is a dumbass but yet you want to label them as greedy people … Good job

I lost my mother a couple of years ago. I didn’t hold daily press conferences and I didn’t lawyer up.

Was she shot by a cop in her own apartment? You can not equate the two. Also sorry for your loss

[BillBrown]

Do you think the lawyers are there to help them grieve or do you think they’re there for another reason?

I doubt if she will.

Where did you see anything about him sitting there in the dark?

On the door thing … I personally have experienced those electronic lock door locks in hotels not latching. I now make a habit of pushing the door closed until I hear it click. It’s not at all improbable that the door was closed, but unlatched.

Maybe they have. You seem obsessed with the break cutting. So what?

Ya who cares that cops get privileged treatment in the justice system

Dallas police say one of their officers was going home after her shift when she walked into the wrong apartment and shot the man inside.

Let’s discuss.

[Godinez]

There is no excuse for what occurred here. Either she was under the influence of something or she has mental issues.

[Plasmaball]

Lock her up

We’ve been discussing it since it happened in two other threads.

[Smyrna]

The officer’s actions are unprofessional and inexcusable.

@GWH

Can you merge this please.

[WuWei]

Where?

[WuWei]

No wonder I didn’t see it.

[Grimalken]

She has an extremely weak defense. Has she even been able to justify the use of deadly force?

[Grimalken]

@Joanne

Too many things just don’t add up. The victim had placed a large red carpet outside his door. Did she not notice that?

We only have her word that the room was dark. Why would he be sitting in his living room without any lights on? She claims she only realized it wasn’t her apartment after she shot him and turned the lights on.

Being that oblivious to her surroundings, she certainly has no business being a police officer.

@Samm

Why? Because you said so? You weren’t at the hearing … you have no idea what the circumstances presented to the judge were.

And neither do you. However what we do know is that police department and justice system had already given the cop tons of leeway and privileged treatment. No surprise they didnt seem to consider the bail terms thoroughly. All the ■■■■ coming out still definitely makes it look like they have just been cutting the cop extra breaks through the entire process.

Maybe they have. You seem obsessed with the break cutting. So what? I know for a fact the police cut each other breaks and cut firemen breaks. My brother is a fireman. They won’t write a fireman a ticket unless he’s doing 100 mph in a 30 or something similar. I’m sure they do that for other policemen. Mason’s cut each other breaks. I’m retired phone company. If I call in a trouble report I go to the head of the list.
Welcome to the world. If that runs you crazy, you’ll wind up in a mental institution.

I don’t give a flip if the police are cutting her breaks. What will bother me is if the courts go easy on her. If she winds up with a hand slap or a suspended sentence, I’ll be on the street along with the race baiters, marching and raising hell.

There you have it folks. Cops give each other breaks for murder and there are people out there who really don’t care.

EXACTLY. Not only that, but one can only assume she came from DPD Headquarters which is only r minutes walking. You mean to tell me she was “discombobulated” in that short span of time? And she’s an elite officer??? Yeah right

@Smyrna

Don’t you get it Smyrna, she was tired! She was still in full uniform! The locks didn’t work! He didn’t follow orders! She can spot and shoot a man in the dark better than she can spot a bright red doormat in a well lit hallway! There had to be a way we can explain this all.

[Joanne]

She claims when she opened the door she could see the sillouette of someone in the room, but the room was dark. I’m assuming it was a living room or maybe hallway. The main door would not have opened into a bedroom.

So why would he have been there in the dark? Only thing is if he was in bed and heard her at the door and got up to investigate, but it still seems as though he would have turned on a light.
