Unless he had his door wide open or unlocked, I don't see how she got into the apartment. There has to be more to this, like someone said maybe they were ex-lovers.
Dallas cop enters wrong apartment, kills Black man Botham Jean who lives there [LIVE TRIAL LINK]
- Thread starter PliggaNease
- Start date
So does that mean that the police won't have anything to do with the investigation?
If it does mean that, you already know what will happen. Hell, it will happen even if the police are involved.
Say it with me, now:
Paid administrative leave, demonizing of the victim, charges or no indictment, acquittal if there are charges, riots, things return to normal after a few days until the next incident somewhere else.
I hate to be cynical, but unless something very drastic happens, the script will remain the same...which depresses the hell out of me.
u know all them mufuckas will have toe on the lineWill any of the Dallas Cowboys players take a knee this afternoon ???
Or will massa Jerry Jones crack that whip, to keep them in line again ???
PICTURED: Female cop who shot dead neighbor after she 'mistakenly walked into his apartment thinking it was her own', as video emerges of officer crying as paramedics try to revive victim
A white policewoman who gunned down a black accountant in Texas has been identified as new video emerges of the frantic moments after the officer mistakenly entered his home thinking it was hers and opened fire.
Amber Guyger, 30, was identified as the off-duty officer who shot 26-year-old Botham Jean in an apartment block in south Dallas on Thursday night.
Instagram footage posted by a neighbor shows a female uniformed officer crying into her phone on a walkway of the apartment block. She is heard screaming 'oh God!' into the phone before she dashes away out of view.
Moments later, the victim is pulled past on a gurney as medics desperately try to revive him. Four officers follow directly behind and another runs to catch up.
Dallas police on Saturday revealed Guyger had worked for Dallas Police Department for four years on the Southeast Patrol Division.
Dallas police initially said they would seek her arrest but then handed the case over to the Texas Rangers in order for an unbiased investigation. The Texas Rangers postponed seeking a warrant for manslaughter charges, saying they needed more time to investigate information that had only recently emerged following their interview with the officer.

'She is devastated,' a Dallas police officer close to Guyger told Dallas News. 'She is so, so sorry for this family.'
Guyger, the sole woman on a elite crime response team of 10 officers who make high-risk arrests, shot another man in 2017, this time a suspect who had taken her Taser.
Uvaldo Perez, 47, was hit once in the abdomen, but survived and was sentenced to two years on drugs charges. Guyger was not indicted over that shooting.
The policewoman moved into the South Side Flats about a month ago but had never met Jean. According to police, she returned home in her uniform after a shift and then called dispatch to say she had shot a man.
She later told the officers who responded that she believed the victim's apartment was her own when she entered.
The responding officers administered first aid to Jean, a native of the Caribbean island country of St Lucia who attended Harding University in Arkansas and worked for accounting and consulting firm PwC. Jean was taken to a hospital, where he died.
Guyger has been tested for drugs and alcohol but results are not immediately available, according to Police Chief Renee Hall.
Hall declined to speculate as to whether fatigue or other factors, including race, may have factored into the shooting.
She also said the Texas Rangers will conduct an independent investigation. A warrant for Guyger's arrest has not been issued because the Rangers wanted to examine new information first.
'Right now, there are more questions than we have answers,' Hall told a news conference. She said she spoke to Jean's sister to express the department's condolences to the family.

Residents of the building said they can access their units with a key or through a keypad code.
Jeffrey Scherzer, who lives at the complex, said when he returned home late at night an officer escorted him to his flat and warned him to steer clear of a blood trail.
Jean's mother, Allison, suggested in an interview on Friday that her son might still be alive if he was white.
'I didn't know she was white until now. If it was a white man would it have been different? Would she have reacted differently?' she told KXAS.
Allison, who has held government posts in St. Lucia, where she lives and where her son grew up, said her son's death 'just feels like a nightmare.'
State Senator Royce West also raised the racial aspect of the shooting, telling a press conference on Saturday: 'Is this a white on black crime? Yes,' he said, according to the Star-Telegram.
'It was a white, female Dallas police officer who shot and killed a person from St. Lucia of African descent.
'Is this a race-related crime? Don't know. I would hold any type of decision you make on what happened until all of the facts come in.'
West said Guyger entered the apartment through an open door: 'We need to find out whether there was a personal relationship,' he said. 'There are so many facts that need to be looked at before determining what kind of homicide this is.'

Jean was remembered as a devout Christian who regularly led worship when he was at Harding University, a private Christian institution

The island country's government issued a statement Friday expressing 'shock' at the killing and extending condolences to the Jean family. It said officials at its embassy in the US would provide assistance to the family.
Harding University said on Friday Jean often led campus worship services while he was a student.
Family and friends described Jean as a devout Christian and a talented singer. His uncle Ignatius Jean said the slaying left relatives devastated and looking for answers.
'You want to think it's fiction... and you have to grapple with the reality,' he said.
Jean's sister, Allisa Charles-Findley, said she needs 'answers for my baby brother.'
'Just last week I was thinking of what to get you for your birthday,' she wrote on Facebook, 'now I have to go pick out your casket.'

Officer Guyger said she mistakenly walked into Jean's apartment (pictured on Thursday from the street) thinking it was her own

'I'll remember his smile,' she said. 'It just lit up a room.'
Nathan Monan, a friend from Harding University, said Botham Jean was kind to everybody and would often lead people in song during chapel.
'He lived what he spoke,' Monan said, adding that Jean's death has stirred emotions of overwhelming sadness and anger. 'This doesn't make sense to anybody right now.'
A YouTube video posted in 2014 shows Jean making his pitch to become the university's student association president.
'I want to serve,' he says in the video. 'My Harding experience has really inspired me to want to serve and I want every student at Harding to have the best Harding experience possible.'

This is how you continue white supremacy. Put a black person in a vocal position, but have them repeat and enforce the current fucked up system. This is so the "it can't be racist because a black person said it" horseshit can continue. Fox news is culprit number one for having shucking and jiving negroes on to blame black people.
The Dallas police officer who says she fatally shot a black man in his apartment believing that it was her own apartment also shot another man last year, according to court documents.
Police say Amber Guyger, a four-year veteran of the force, told investigators she was returning home from her shift Thursday night and accidentally entered Botham Jean's apartment. Guyger, who is white, believed Jean was an intruder and shot him, police said. Police have released few other details.
"Right now there are more questions than answers," Police Chief Renee said. "We understand the concerns of the community. That is why we are working as vigorously and meticulously as we can to ensure the integrity of the case and the department is upheld."
In May 2017, Guyger was called to assist another officer searching for a suspect. An affidavit indicates a man identified as Uvaldo 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 wrested the weapon away from her. Guyger then drew her gun and shot Perez in the abdomen, the affidavit says. Guyger was not charged in the case.
Jean's family is demanding charges against Guyger in Jean's death. Guyger has been placed on paid administrative leave.
Hall announced Friday that investigators were preparing a warrant for a manslaughter charged. She also turned the case over to the Texas Rangers, citing the need for transparency in the investigation. A day later, however, she said the Rangers had asked her to hold off on the charges. The Rangers, she said, had interviewed Guyger and wanted to further investigate information obtained from her.
Mayor Mike Rawlings defended Hall's "wisdom" in turning the investigation over to the Rangers. The family, however, wants to see resolution.
“She took my life away, like my very own life,” said Jean's mother, Allison. “She has to face whatever the law says. The very Bible says to render to Caesar that which is Caesar so if Caesar says to pay a penalty for a life, then she has to pay.”

The family's lawyer, Lee Merritt said, said the lack of an arrest has added to the family's grief.
“We believe the fact that that has not happened yet is a reflection on deferential treatment for law enforcement officers," Merritt said.
Jean, 26, was a graduate of Harding University who worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Dallas. Rawlings called Jean "a great man" and "exactly the kind of citizen we want to have in the city. ... We've lost a potential leader for this city for decades to come."
At a vigil Saturday, former professor Todd Genery said Jean loved life, people and his Lord.
“This world isn’t fair and it’s full of trouble," Genery said. "But in Jesus Christ, there is unity and there is hope, and I’m going to see him again with my Lord in heaven.”
His uncle, Ignatius Jean, said the entire family was shocked when they heard the news of Jean's death.
"You want to think it's fiction," he said. "You have to grapple with reality.
Allison Jean flew to Dallas from the family’s native St. Lucia after the shooting. Her son will be buried on the Caribbean island Thursday.
“This is the worst call any mother can get,”Jean said. “This is the worst pain.”

Man if they dont lock this lying or retarded bitch up!
This bitch needs the chair, but she will cry and say she was scared and maybe she will get community service and 2 years probation.
i cant get over the fact that so many people where running with the "they were fucking" story after the false picture was circulated around the net
that shit is really disheartening
is it that easy to fool us?
that shit is really disheartening
is it that easy to fool us?
Was he the only black person or one of the only blacks living in that gated community? I ask this cause some whites are so fucking insecure seeing a black person doing so well to the point it brings that demon out of them to do evil. You can’t put that past them.
To some whites you can have nothing or even appear like your doing good. It fucks with them. Theyd use their power to fuck u up somehow to stop your progress.
Seeing a successful black person destroys people of races day. Some may try to take your life. Don’t put it past them that they may try to harm you in some way.

This nigga be talking like this is a board full of 6th grade African immigrants
Still possible though. If the neighbors really did hear her yelling "open the door", I'm going to stick with my original theory. I've had fuck buddies that I didn't take pictures with...it ain't that uncommon.
if they actually were fucking, but the chick wasn't in the picture that everyone referencd.....then what does your post have to do with mine?
Stop being a fucking obstacle
This article write that she mistakenly went into the wrong apartment as if its fact and not her version of events....bad journalism or worse, intentional framing of the narrative...the word "allegedly" should always be placed before the mistakenly entered the apartment...based on other evidence, it seems damn near impossible to enter someone else's apartment in that complex unless the door is openPICTURED: Female cop who shot dead neighbor after she 'mistakenly walked into his apartment thinking it was her own', as video emerges of officer crying as paramedics try to revive victim

She was beating on it saying open up it's the police
Dallas PD works a lot better with this shit.So does that mean that the police won't have anything to do with the investigation?
If it does mean that, you already know what will happen. Hell, it will happen even if the police are involved.
Say it with me, now:

I hate to be cynical, but unless something very drastic happens, the script will remain the same...which depresses the hell out of me.
No the rangers cant take over the investigation... the can apprehend her based on the warrent.
It happened in the city and blocks away from the station. It SHOULD be the city PD investigation with oversight from internal affairs body
I get the feeling that the Dallas police chief was forced to call the Texas rangers
wtf hebrews gotta do with this?
As a black and female cheif, I wonder what her thought process is right now?
Who does she ultimately have to please and answer to?
Who are her superiors and how much would they support her if she handled this by the book?

The rangers picked her up.
She had a warrant, that's what they do.
They SHOULD have turned her over to Dallas PD but they let her go after she "cooperated"
Could be wrong, but thats what I took from this.
Racist ass DailyMail trying make her look more clean
its what every pig department does with every pig after a pig involved shooting......they put them on paid administrative leave while they investigate for lord knows how long.
in my opinion, if the pig was off duty, then she's no longer a cop, she's an ordinary civilian and needs to be treated as such.
I hate these mufuckas hollarin this "transparency" crap, but continue to withhold vital information from the public.

The Rangers took the investigation over, the female chief didn't hand it over to them. I think the cop & him got into it about something previously. She got pissed & killed him.
This is what was reported initially. It makes sense to have a third party do the investigation.

Hall said the Texas Rangers are taking over the investigation.
“In order for us to be truly transparent to this community, given the circumstances, we have invited the Texas Rangers to conduct this investigation.”
She's racist, so she been wanting to off her a black person..
Someone said too much. They will have no choice but to charge her with murder. Although I am surprised the judge wouldn't sign off on man slaughter.
Of course I have to ask, will they try to overcharge her so that a jury can find her not guilty?
