A black Texas woman was shot and killed by a white Fort Worth police officer who was called to the woman's home for a welfare check, authorities said. In a statement, the department said it received a call at 2:25 a.m. reporting an open front door at a residence. Responding officers searched the perimeter of the house and saw a person standing inside near the window, according to police. "Perceiving a threat, the officer drew his duty weapon and fired one shot, striking the person inside the residence," the department stated. In body camera video released by police, two officers search the home from the outside with flashlights before one shouts, "Put your hands up, show me your hands." One shot is then fired through a window. storyThe people of fort worth don't normally riot, but who knows?

IDK, but I bet there are no hugs at this trial. I may be wrong though.
Sometimes what didn't work out for you, did in fact, work out for you.

What is it with these shoot first cops? Is it poor training? Are they too scared to do their job? I totally get that there is more to this, and all of us arm chair cops and lawyers can pick this apart with the evidence the news puts out there, but it just seems a lot of these are still bad shoots after the trial and evidence is common knowledge. What is going to happen to the homeowner who gets shot at and missed by police in a situation he is not doing anything wrong in his own home, and then shoots and kills a cop in defense?

Probably harder to make the correct choice at 2:25am in the morning. Going into a sketchy situation with limited knowledge of what you are facing.
I know at trial with all the evidence revealed in the light of day he is guilty, just saying.

And the story brings up a solid point, it was a welfare check cause the door was open. Maybe just maybe a knock on the door and yelling hello, police might have been a more appropriate response than a srt running outside house with flash lights. Wake me up creeping around my house in middle of night outside or any of you I bet we could end up either shot or shooting someone.

The Dallas situation was an effed up deal, this is an effed up deal. Could it be the Police Departments are lowering the bar for entry into the Police Force or speeding up the training wrecklessly to fill empty positions. Who in the hell would want to be a Police Officer today with the hatred and disrespect shown to them? You have to have nerves and convictions of steel to be an officer today. God bless anyone that chooses this profession in my book. The deck is stacked against you by the media and the population at large.

Gotta love how they start the article with the race of those involved. Also stood out he had been employed tgere just 18 months. If he were an officer elsewhere prior to FW he still would of had to go through FWPD academy. I know its a fairly rigorous academy and a good amount do not make it.

Nobody is saying dont appreciate the police, respect the police, it's not a hard job etc. The reality is there have been 3 presumably innocent people shot in their own homes by police in the last few years that I can think of off the top of my head, then the poor lady shot while the office was shooting at a dog. The officer firing into the high school kids car, these are in the metroplex alone. Some outrage over the loss of innocent life should be expected

I think they are having a hard time filling positions and lowering the bar or something.

It surprises me that sweeping the leg is not used more often, at this point.
