You wouldn't think she had a drink and still be in uniform. But you never know.

In this case, being drunk would help.

By no means am I saying she did but it happens.

Does TR stand for Texas Ranger or Trent Reznor?

Protesters are out raising heck with DPD tonight.

A coworker was Facebook live from the Dallas Police Association protest rally. A guy was hectoring everyone about the inequity of Utes being certified as adults for the short time I listened.

She perceived the threat as a person in what she firmly believed to be her apartment. Yes, even as a police officer, if you are in my house, I�m going to fire first, regardless if you have a weapon or not. My doors were your warning.

The stars had to align perfectly for this incident to occur the way it did.
She parked on the wrong floor.
Walked to what should�ve been her apartment on the wrong floor.
When inserting her key into the door, which was already ajar, it swung open.
The apartment was dark inside and she saw a silhouette of a person.

It�s bad luck all around. It�s a terrible tragedy for both parties and families.

Probably that is procedure if off duty wearing a uniform or something along that line

If a jury finds this to be just a horrible mistake and the defense presents its case as if she really believed she was inside her own apartment (and jury believes it), then she isn�t going to be facing any time at all. I feel she should be held accountable for her actions... do I think it�s murder, no I don�t... manslaughter for sure and I feel for all parties involved in this horrible incident (especially the innocent man who lost his life). If she gets off with no charges, then it�s gonna be all hell with riots and will widen the gap the majority of police officers are trying to close. Transparency is key.... I�m very curious if she attempted to provide any kind of medical aid after shooting the man.

Lots of people seem to have a hard time getting past she went to the wrong apartment. I have no problem understanding how that could happen. A simple mistake put this in play.

I agree she may have gone to the wrong apartment, maybe due to fatigue, but what we will never know is the words exchanged between the two parties involved. End of the day her actions cost an innocent man his life, and for those reason alone (cop or not) she is accountable for her actions. I don�t see her doing anymore than 2 years in jail if any to be honest.

this is gonna sound like racism but it is really realism....40-50% of black men in metro areas have a criminal record and as a police officer she had to be very aware of this and her first thought was this is a criminal who has broken into my apartment and likely will do harm to me unless I act quickly....
instead of protesting against the police,honest law abiding black citizens ought to be raising hell and condemning the blacks who commit crimes and give their race a bad reputation.

Even if her story is the truth. For the record. I find her story plausible. Just because those apartment buildings are usually identical on every floor.
With the way it was handled. All the confusion caused by the media. The racial spin put on by the media. If she isn't convicted. There will be problems caused from this. The South Dallas jury has already decided she is guilty. They have already decided that race has played a part in this. If any color played a part. It was blue. Not white or black. DPD would have likely swept this one under the rug had there not been a public outcry and the Texas Rangers hadn't of gotten involved.

You just cant wander into the wrong apartment and shoot a person. She needs about 5 years in prison to think about it.

Perhaps this will clarify many of the assumptions being made here. If I have an accident while on the job, I get sent for drug/alcohol test immediately. Since she was in uniform (though off-duty) and killed someone, I would imagine DPD has a similar policy. If she was intoxicated, it's not going to end well for her. But I view the test more as a CYA deal than anything. P.S. it was the Rangers that asked for a delay in a warrant being issued and it was the Rangers who let her turn herself in to Kaufman Co.
