Texas Police Officer Fatally Shoots Woman Inside Her Home | NBC Nightly News
Trying to say there was a gun in the house to make it seem like he was Justified ,smh.
That's what it seems like to me.
This is so wrong man!
First thing I thought to myself...😒
This is very sad.....The neighbor has to live with that decision for the rest of his life and he didn't do nothing wrong either......
There we go again! I bet you money, that if a 12 year old kid come to the door, he would had shot him too. Today's Police Officer's are a bunch of Chicken S&!t! They walk around trembling, with their gun in their hands. They should take all their guns away, and give them water pistols. It's a Disgrace! To Serve and Protect. Yeah Right!
It’s Texas everyone has a gun, that’s a PR excuse move if I’ve ever heard one.
“Show me your hands!” 0.01 seconds *gun shot*
But he went home that night. Its just an oops and oh I am sorry kind of thing.
They never give people a chance!
She was a woman, so I'm confident she more than likely would have complied.
That was going way too far that cop had some nerve! just shot her through the window.
It does not matter where her firearm was when she is at home!
Fake news tried to make it look like it could’ve been her fault.
Jake Rose probably was somewhere in Texas therefore he HAS to shoot and murder civilians...
@@sebastiangimenez400 title definitely says texas.
Her firearm could have been in her hand and he would STILL have no right to shoot!
Why don't they tell us if the cops had firearms and were those firearms were?
Let me get this straight.... a cop is looking in the widows of a private home, see someone inside (like it is completely unexpected and out of the ordinary for a person to be inside a house), and immediately shoot into an occupied dwelling without identifying his target, killing the person who lives there.
Do I have the right?
If so, then the cop should face the exact same punishment that you or I would get for doing the exact same thing... *20 to life for criminally negligent homicide.*
Actually he should face worse since HE is the trained professional and SHOULD be held to a higher standard.
Spoton
You are so very correct!!!!!
Thank You.
I tried to like this a million times!!! HE IS TRAINED. A GREATER penalty should be applied. Someone who ha been taught how to handle these situations should be punished more severe than someone who has absolutely no training at all.
I don't want to sound mean but, if the state of Texas hanged every bad officer who does this and show it publicly, officers would think twice before they used lethal force. Because the immediate threat on the officers life would be on the officers mind, but so would the noose if he is at fault for the murder, which this officer obviously is.
Gun in the house has nothing to do with her being shot! I can't believe they said that, UNBELIEVABLE!
If nothing else is done, something should be done about the mire mention of her having a gun in HER HOME! Are you people that damned idiotic? Or do you actually think we are stupid enough to listen to any sort of coward saying, "well there was a gun nearby in the other room. That's why I shot her DEAD". My hope is that this maggot die in prison!
Mr. Prosecutor, it's your turn. Do what you are suppose to do...indict a ham sandwich!!!
Why was he dead silent prowling outside her house? The neighbor is already aware the officer is there to check, why not yell, "police, welfare check, are you alright inside" or some such?
probably because she gets her welfare checks in the mail
@@bloozism
Low life pos comment
That's what the devil does. Prowls around seeking whom he may devour. :( He should have knocked on the door like a normal human being. But he did not do that, because he is a blood thirsty devil, who should be arrested for cold blooded murder. He wasn't afraid of anything.
This comment gave me clinical depression.

Yes you might indeed wake up tomorrow and go on living your life but I promise you if you continue to live in sin you will pay the price. Death is inevitable. Time will soon be finished.

Officers who are spooked by their own shadows should not carry guns SMH tragedy
Also its murder.

Daegog The Wyrdmake -- You’re stupid person number two. F*** these tyrannical cops
The way I see it most cops are good, but all it takes is some total dumbasses to give cops a bad rep. For instance compare this guy to the Dhaliwal fellow that just passed. How do you think he would have responded? I'm certain he would have just yelled through the front door like any person with common sense.
i live in texas, i have at least 3 guns in the room i am in RIGHT now.
like come on', just cause you found a gun in the house, it doesn't mean it was justified.
Cops have become amoral manipulative weasels.
Exactly!
They are not saying if it was near the body or not either. That's how you know she didn't have it in her hand and she didn't shoot
Erbody in Texas have a gun in their home., most of them have 2 guns.
This is murder.
Plain and simple.
A firearm in the home was a self-defense firearm, why keep mentioning it like she held it in the cop? When she was the resident!
#(ck) common knowledge
It's probably more like manslaughter then murder. Well, as long as he had a legal reason to be there in the 1st place.
A citizen shoots someone and they have to put up bail. A cop shoots someone and they get a paid vacation.
@@LePedant
he was on some one else property at her house
Because they’re manipulative weasels.
Exactly.. The 2nd amendment Grant's you the right, so why keep mentioning there is a gun in the house. That's completely legal. Especially in Texas.
All a cop has to do is say he felt threatened and then he can get away with shooting anyone at any time. People that scared shouldn't have guns or be police.
You gotta be joking
@@doggy4995 Every word is plain truth. not even controvertial. Why do you think it is a joke?
Doggy i think he is or he has special ed classes
Shouldn't we consider taking cop's guns away??? That's what they would say if someone else shot someone else. We all need to turn our guns in "for everyone's safety" and so that the cops have no competition.
0ooTheMAXXoo0 I’m saying that they don’t get off Scott free like you guys think they do. A cop just got sentenced for a similar situation a few weeks ago.
If you are afraid of being a cop.
Just don't apply for the job
Totally agree!!
Your missing the point. They apply for the job because they are cowards and need gang support
Put them out by themselves, put the heat on them, and you see how these cowards respond.
Add on to it to give some principal to this story when there are no punishment to your behavior your behavior does not get better simply and most likely you will be repeated the same or more much worse.. don't forget to hug someone that helps

@mike a right they are dumber than a bag of hammers..
@Sunny Quackers I don't need to go to Hong Kong... we have cops hiding in the bushes every mile in our city now waiting to stop and harass citizens. We have a lawless ruler over the country... the government is systematically imprisoning our citizens for power in exchange for profit.. we have cameras all over us... NSA ease drops on us... and what do we do? Parade the cops and military out in front of every public event for their mandatory applause. Hong Kong? They aren't trying to be us. They are trying to be what we used to be. Don't fool yourself.
@Sunny Quackers I disagreed with the role and behavior of our cops long before this traitorous clown hijacked our highest office.
@Mr. R
Sadly, this lady didn't have a chance to comply.
“Texas police officer murders an innocent woman inside her own home for no good reason” I fixed the title for you!
Pretty much
😂
That's two now that have been shot in their own home by Texas police.
So Texas is letting you know if doesn't matter where you are at if you're black we will pull the trigger.
Hey guys cmon we have to love the cop and forgive him and if we see him ask for a big hug! That's what jesus wants.. black people you are the cops target thank God I'm not whew
@Matt To be fair, innocent until proven guilty in a court of law also applies to cops. Fairly certain if they are suspended without pay, before they are even charged, they can sue.
He was standing outside, shot through the window at the occupant he perceived as a threat? Cowardly. Not a hero. Just a coward with a badge to get away with murder.
That's all cops are now, "My safety comes first!" is something police literally shout at people now; that's the exact opposite of what being a cop is supposed to be.
Well said

Not murdered, but slaughtered by a cop scared of black people
@@MikeBrown-go1pc Second-degree murder, as this officer showed a complete indifference for human life here.
Yes, absolutely murdered. There is no other way to put it. I trust the police department will not try and spin a fabrication. This officer has to be held accountable for his actions.
A life snuffed out just like that ...in an instant for no reason. In her own home. If you cannot be safe in your own home, then where can you be safe? This is so very disturbing. First Botham Jean, and now this 28 year old female. Young Lives, lives taken away too soon. The lady probably did not have a chance to react to anything. I wonder if she heard the officer outside? Based on what I saw on the body cam, it happened so fast...too fast! He did not even identify himself, nor did he give her a chance to identify herself and to respond in any way before he shot. This makes absolutely no sense. Was the nephew in the home at this time? The news said she cared for her newphew. I pray he was not exposed to this murder.
Wow. Way to be a bunch of sheep! The video is 1:51 and you all seem to have all the facts to make the determination that it was cold blooded murder. Consider the source. It’s media. They are going to report it with an angle to lead you to a conclusion you draw in your own. There’s still way too many questions that are not answered.
Don’t be sheep.
@@alexgrabowski6709 What questions? We have his body cam. He shot someone inside their own home, from outside of the home. He said let me see your hands, and before even half a second passed fired his weapon. I challenge you to think of any reason he should have done that.
“Most police officers will go their entire career without firing their weapon”
He’s been on the job for 1 year and already fired his weapon and murdered someone. In her own home at that!
They initiating them rookies for rank.
it has not even been a yr yet
That's statistically true, there's hundreds of thousands, if not millions of law enforcement officers in the US remember. And even with a few hundred shootings a year, that still holds true.
Well hopefully this is the end of his policing career and the beginning of a lengthy jail sentence.
Chris Lucas yes it definitely is true. I know police officers who have been on the job for over 20 years and have only pulled their weapon a couple times that entire time. Never fired it of course but to go 20 plus years and only pull it a couple times and this guy already pulled it and fired it.
Who knows what was going through his head or his mentality at the time. Feel so bad for that lady who was minding her own business.
That poor neighbor has to live with that for the rest of his life.
And it is not his fault
I feel so sorry for him.
Why didn't even walk over there to see if everything was alright before he called.?
@@seanp6698 Think about him walking over there looking around, only for her to get startled and harm him. He was just concerned about his neighbor's well-being... But, it was fifteen minutes after he called, an officer arrived though...which means they didn't even think of it being a serious matter. So why draw your weapon? It's so many questions...
@@Kev621 - Unlike the cop, the neighbor would have at least knocked on the door or rang the doorbell and waited rather than slithering around on her property peeping into windows.
PERCEIVES A THREAT? WTF 🤔😲

Yeah exactly. He literally gave her zero time to raise her hands and just fired. Seriously wtf...
And, through the window!

Can I shoot an officer outside of my house for trespassing because I feel threatened? No cuz I would go to jail, but this officer gets administrative leave. Smh
Just act like you couldn't identify who was outside your home, someone was just looking for a way to break in. Just like how this pos pig couldn't identify who was inside that home. Of course, it depends on the outcome of this situation. If the pos pig goes to prison, that's evident you can't legally do what he did, in reverse.
If someone is shining a light in my window like that, it's lights out for them. I don't care who it is. Fair warning people.
In Indiana, you can shoot a cop for coming in without a warrant. I think.
That's a really good comparison about the injustice system.
You can shoot a cop under the same circumstances. If you are white.

Nope.
Nope. Cops are a danger to society
No, you are correct in your assessment.

no
when you go creeping around a house un announced you can expect to feel unsafe and this cop just killed an innocent person and committed murder !!!!
right, like had she seen or heard them creeping, grabbed her gun to go check, she still would have been shot. there was so little chance of a positive outcome with the approach taken by this cop.. what on earth..
"Had a firearm in the home" Yes it was hers, in her home. She can have a gun in her home. She didn't know who tf was prowling outside. All she saw was some person lurking around her home at night with a flashlight. Most people are going to be cautious. She just looked outside the window for christ's sake.
They mentioned the firearm to purposfully smear her character and give the Cop some type of "excuse". The Firearm was likely nowherw near her when she was shot.

I've seen many of missing persons cases where a co-worker may ask the police to check on someone if they notice the individual has missed several days of work without calling in or a an out of state family member may not be able reach a relative by phone so they ask the local authorities to check to if the person is okay. In those cases, the officer arrives and knocks to see if the person is home. Then they proceed to enter if no response is given. If the cops had done so(knocked) in this case and simply identified themselves, this young woman would be alive.

"What kind of training is that?" They're trained killers. That's what they do.
Imagine how much less we would see and how much more they would get away with had we not made them wear body cams.
Unfortunately, they still have a loophole where they can turn it off, then wait 30 seconds, and do whatever they want without the bodycam running.
They say they do it for when they need to use the restroom.
It's been show that they use it to cover their crimes though, by cops who didn't know about the 30 second delay.
Jesus Christ. WTF?
Stayed up too late. This is what happens when people get too "pro law enforcement" and accountability for officers drops.
Why he fired his pistol? His statement is lame. Unfortunately he will not get charged because he “thought” she has a weapon as it was too dark it see.

This. Is. Murder.
For it to be murder there has to be intent. The courts would have to prove he intended on killing her when he pulled up to the house to get a conviction of murder. It's more like manslaughter.

Kristi Marie when those officers completely ignored their training it became murder. They willingly choose to forgo their official capacity when they chose to completely ignore their “SOP” and killed an innocent homeowner. Honestly I believe when they passed the front door without making themselves known at that moment it became trespassing, who snoops around someone’s home at 2am and not expect a confrontation.
Kristi Marie and yes I know the definition of Murder and Manslaughter. I also understand the way the law works when it comes to charging a criminal. And yes this officer can and should be charged with murder the facts back it up. Let’s let a jury decide, but the facts support murder.

Even if she had 'brandished' a gun, the cop was creeping around her house late at night without announcing himself. I would have been brandishing a gun in that situation, too.
They will figure out a way to place the gun at the scene in a way that "proves" she pointed it at him. It's a police gang thing. They "fix" things for each other.
She has every right to “brandish” her firearm at ANYONE on her property without permission at 2:30 in the morning. Actually she’d be dumb not too. And he’s not identified himself as anything other than a criminal and neither has the news. If she had shot the criminal immediately she might still be alive! Instead she prolly wanted to make sure she wasn’t shooting a family member or something hesitation cost her her life
so now you can't have a firearm your home. Wow this is the justification for killing this young innocent woman.

Oscar Trujillo now do you know the meaning of “ FAKE NEWS “ ??
What it does is validate the officer’s perception that he was facing a threat. He didnt know if it was a burglar holding the gun....the only reason you know it wasn’t is because this incident ended so tragically.
Police are trigger happy AF ... they need to all be retrained already ... everyone of them. If they scare so easy they need to find a new line of work asap.
they need to be tried for crimes against humanity and summarily done away with.

Lol dude you act like a soldier is any different. They face death more at work then you will your entire lifetime yet you understand the mindset and so on
No put the death penalty on the table and use it, or the citizens will. Prowling around someone's house unannounced with a light, should have been shot for that. And then the coward didn't go in and clear the house, he's shooting people (owners) through windows. What kind of county is this except the satanic one of beasts.
Officer should be fired and charged with manslaughter.

not identifying self
points gun shoots

and what crime is it to have one's own houselights on with the door open?? this mf had better get LIFE or the death penalty because he's a murderer and a clear danger to society. i mean after that cop, Amber killed that guy in *HIS OWN HOME* because she was just as stupid as this other cop, thinking it was her own apartment, how is this sh•t happening again?? and so soon after the other case ended?? no way he didn't hear about it, this is *INSANITY!*
If the gun was anywhere close to her they would have already released that information. Nice smear campaign.
And even if she was holding it for protection while trying to figure out who's prowling around her home, she's completely within her rights to do so. Like her sister said, what kind of training are these officers given?
He reacted the way he did cuz he just another scared cop pretending to be in control. Snowflake wouldnt last 5 mins out the wire.
Im going to assume you’re not a member of law enforcement. If you were, i suspect you would understand that police work is dangerous and 100-200 fellow officers are killed on duty each year. This year alone, 36 officers have been killed by gunfire. Not sure what you do for a living but, unless you’re a drug dealer, I’d say your profession is safer. Might i suggest you take a ride along some time....especially if you live in a city. You might get a better understanding of the job and the dangers police face every day.
I'm a retired combat veteran with 4 deployments.Nothing you say will surprise or impress me. I dont need to explain ANYTHING to you.
@Don Opperman Thank you for that, i appreciate it.
"A firearm was found in the home and a little bit of crack was sprinkled on the body."
Open and shut case Johnson

You mean opioid in white family. Crack is longer issue in Black American community. Next
Days after the other dudes trial end another police officer killed someone in their own home...Wow...
In Texas
I was saying the same thing. So sad and this stuff will never end.
That’s what happens when you forgive too much revenge is always better than forgiveness because it holds people accountable!
WTF
He just shot and killed didn’t ask questions or
anything🤬
This is murder
It's initiation for the proud boys head master of his district.
ANOTHER CASE OF IM SCARED OF BLACK PPL
@Mike Knight That is your personal problem, that does not give you the right to interfere with or terrorize black women's lives!
It happened so fast and it was so dark. I really feel like the cop would of shot anyone.
@Mike Knight As long as you admit that it's your personal problem, and that it literally has nothing to do with black women, then yes we are saying the same thing.
@Mike Knight Grace Jones...? Look at you telling on yourself! 😂😂😂😂😂 Only people of a certain age know who Grace Jones is... 😂😂😂😂😂
Used to be "driving while black" now it's just "living while black"
Too right! This is completely insane!
He clearly had his mind made up to shoot anything that moved before he entered the house. Coward!
Let's stop with the "brave police officers" narrative. Too many of them aren't acting courageously.
Exactly What I been saying for a long time.
Xman Thr line is no longer thin and blue, it has become the thick yellow line.
Please spare us with the BS " there was a firearm found in the home" If that firearm wasn't in her hand, that's irrelevant 😒😒😑‼️
Ruth Quetant thank you!
What's your point? It was a welfare call!
John Dozier what?
Evon if it where in her hand, it's still highly suspect, others have said it. If you are afraid of your own shadow..stay home deliver pizza what ever but dont be a cop.
Its her home in an open carry state... She has the right to have a gun in her home carrying it however she pleases. Even if she decided she to stand her ground, she's well within her rights because of the castle doctrine. I'm sure she never knew the ppl sneaking around her house were the police.
They really had to add that she had a gun in her home just to defend the cop
Her sister was so hurt, you could tell. Her lip was quivering :(
She just lost her sister in one of probably the safest police departments in North Texas and I bet she doesn't feel safe anymore
@@acolbymyers It's very disturbing that we have to question if police officers can even keep us safe anymore.
@@neemuwa or whether they'll be the ones to pull the trigger. No trespassing signs.
The man who asks "If you don't feel safe with the police department, then who do you feel safe with" doesn't realize that he has the wrong skin tone to ever feel safe with the police.
Exactly. Any black person who feels safe with the police hasn't been paying attention.
Some white people have learned you cannot ever feel safe with the police, even the "good" cops (if such a thing exists) because they have had enough experience with the bad one (all of them really?) but it is a rare thing. It's nice to belong to a race that doesn't have to worry about being shot on sight even if you know the cops are always dangerous fools rather than the protectors of the people.
And with the system
"Put your hands up. Show me your hands." bang Less than two seconds. Fire the cop then arrest, charge and try him for murder.
If you try him for murder you will let him off. Legally he committed manslaughter.
Justice?
@Mr. R Justice isn't what one person things the punishment should be.
@@LePedant There is no such thing as Law if there is no Justice.
THESE ARE HITS...AND WHY WOULD A FIREARM IN YOUR HOME BE A THREAT..AFTER YOU SHOOT THEM...FTP
This is seriously becoming ridiculous when your contemplating calling the police or not
Drop the snap
You should ALWAYS contemplate before calling the cops. Even if they lived up to our idealized version of what police should be.
If you are even thinking of calling the cops, you are pretty clueless. It's not worth the risk.
@@bentmercer There are plenty of good reasons to call the cops.
they didn't learn from amber guyger so next time a cop kills someone in their home we should seek the death penalty
Let me guess, he thought it was his house...
Now that was funny
Her, and the neighbor will be deemed drug dealers by tomorrow.
He said he was in fear for his life
So if someone is skulking around my yard and I look out my window while armed, do I deserve to be shot?
I don't think anyone is arguing she deserved that.
She wasn't armed. The gun was found elsewhere in the house, not by her body. If the gun had been found beside her, that would be the headline.
@Mr. R I don't think she was armed, usually if a gun was found on them they say it was in them. Not in her vicinity.
What I'm saying is that she didn't deserve to be shot, even if she was armed. That cop needs to go to jail
@@LePedant You have certainly been arguing that in enough of these responses to various people on here. When are you going to start being honest with yourself?
“Show me your *blam!* hands”
Murderer.
Listen again, DrDipShitz
DrLipschitz he shot before he finished the sentence dude tf? 🤔
He says "Put your hands up! Show me your hands- -blam-" then he trails off saying something after. What exactly is he saying though?
@@b-mansly7550 hey Brainman (lol), is everything okay at home?
Brianman ZX, fatality.
RING BELL/KNOCK ON THE FRONT DOOR FIRST...
The “serve and protect” part only applies to other cops...
They don't even have that printed on cop cars anymore.
Shackles Rustyford,
Perfectly said.
Best,
This is so terrifying. I am terrified to be living in these times, where you're not even safe from the people who swear to "protect and serve" IN YOUR OWN HOME.
Cops are human beings. You have never been safer around them then other human being.
You are white. You are safe.
@@tpoppy9303 What exactly makes you think that? That's a famous singer in my pic.
Too many cowardly cops that shoot first and ask questions later.
I love how the Police always bring up totally irreverent points to muddy the water "Police say they found a fire arm in the home" yaaa that's like 1.9 billion % irreverent, I would say they would find a fire arm in most homes in Texas; just owning a gun doesn't give the police free rein to shoot you, you kinda, I don't know, need to have the gun in your hands and pointing it at them to justify them shooting you. They probably found Knifes in the home, and other things that can be used to harm someone, again irreverent. I'm sorry but if cops are so scared to do their jobs, QUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Irrelevant is the word you are looking for
I was really hoping the victim wasn’t black when I read the title of the video. But deep inside I knew it was. Moment of silence.
Endless Cycle:
-Senseless tragedy
-Thoughts and prayers
-Paid administrative leave
-Law enforcement investigate themselves
-Law enforcement justifies the killing
-Public outrage
-The public questions law enforcement's actions
-Questioning law enforcement is seen as an attack on law enforcement
-Law enforcement plays the victim.
-Law enforcement refuses to publicly apologize and admit mistakes
-Polarized America takes their sides
-"Thin blue line" gets thicker and stronger for some
-Trust in law enforcement vanishes for others
-Repeat cycle.......
Stories like this are becoming far too common. These are tragedies that are senseless and absurd, why? I understand being a cop is dangerous, but there are cops all over the world who deal with more dangerous situations everyday without ever drawing a weapon. American law enforcement has been trained to escalate every situation, and that is why they draw their weapons for almost anything these days. Remember, he was there to do a WELFARE CHECK on this person and ended up killing her! Think about that!!!!!!!
Why is it not enough to risk your life as law enforcement? They always strike first, even if there isn't a threat. Crazy stuff man.
So sad but true.
lobbyists for police are a powerful force.
sometimes toward "special rights".
but the overwhelming majority of the time the stories are misrepresented without all of the evidence being present or some intentionally left out to push some agenda, and i have no clue going off of this video what really happened all they showed really was the victim getting shot. And I see some people stating that this was a welfare check can someone send me the full report so I can figure out and form an opinion off of this and the bodycam footage?
@@mrkarabz6397 the Dallas Police Department have already shown the world, through the televised Amber Guyger trial, that they are corrupt state-sponsored terrorists who cannot be trusted. The same ones who pedaled a story of an off-duty cop who killed a man in his apartment because "she went to the wrong apartment." The same ones who killed the leading prosecution witness in the trial, and made up a story of drug buyers killing him during the process of buying drugs from him. If he was a drug dealer, WHY did the prosecution let him testify, and WHY didn't the defense cross-examine him about this?
The Dallas Police Department has shown themselves to be a gang of murderous, cowardly, bullying state-sponsored terrorist thugs, and any statement they make should be met with skepticism.
She very well could have had a gun. Someone just walking around in her yard, how was she supposed to know it was the police? I don't blame her. The cop never stated anything out loud like I usually see/hear.
Just in a TV shows!
When did it become illegal to own a fire arm? He’ll get his chance to hug the Judge now.
Slave Patrol at it again.....I FEARED FOR MY SAFETY..........This shyt is getting OLD!
Shut up nigha
Exactly right. No prison and straight to death row!
@@chineseviruszombie773 you racist internet trolls are starting to get really old
A coward is always afraid for their safety.
I guess this is what white people meant by make America great again...
So now they just walk up to your window and shoot you. Does that fall under protect or serve?
Protect and serve is the old slogan. The new one is, "MY SAFETY COMES FIRST!!!!"
They didn't "walk up" so much as they shot at a silhouette in the window from a short distance.
The front door was open why would he go to the back of the house? Why he just didnt ring the bell or knock on the door?
This! Doors and windows wide open but you're creepin around the back, never once going to that open door, then "shoot first, ask questions later" through curtains, into the home. Wtf?!?
This officer needs to be in jail like that other woman cop that killed an innocent man in his own home
He fired before he could finish saying show me your hands.
I love how they justify it with a gun was found in the home not on the assailant
Yup, I bet he has a gun in his home, if someone shot him through his window would they get away with it.
@@phillhuddleston9445 it was a lady get the facts right
@@losa3960 The cop was a lady, she sure sounded like a man.
@@phillhuddleston9445 The cop was most definitely a man. If you need proof other than the voice, at 0:12 the reporter says "he".
They never justified anything.
Another Botham Jean story. SMH
@Mike Knight freaked out??? SHE MURDERED AN UNARMED BLACK MAN IN HIS OWN HOME WHILE HE WAS WATCHING TV EATING ICE CREAM!!! WHAT'S NEXT, YOU WANNA GIVE HER A HUG TOO?!?!?
shillbill2214 She did the right thing.
Man this just broke my heart
He didn't even say he was police he just started shooting
Even if she did have a gun...IT'S HER HOME. She's allowed too! Why in the world is he on her property without reasonable suspicion?
The neighbor called the cops saying he thinks their might be an intruder because of an open door. Please stop making Trumpian arguments.
@Mr. R The cop was arrested and found guilty.
Her door was open and the screen door was closed. Probably cut the a/c off to let some cool air come in.
It’s the purge, open season y’all seems like. I can’t wait to follow this trial to see how threatened the officer could be. Sounds like he needs some mental help like quick
Does it matter where her weapon was? It's her home, she has a right to own it.
Yet another reason never to live in Texas.
Why are these police officers always scared to death?...
Can you imagine calling emergency services for a medical emergency and hearing a gunshot
He’ll be working in another town after two years.
Where was the gun?
I heard someone poking round my house I'd have a gun too
I thought when they get a call they suppose to knock on the door and ring the bell first
Rafael Felan they not suppose to how is he going to go to her house look around without her knowing than shoot her he didn’t even make his present known all that could of been avoided
Door was opened, that’s why the neighbor called, to see if everything was okay. Police could have walked in without shooting her through the window
He should have called for back up. At least then, someone could have stopped him from killing her.
Karen Heersink even if he thought it was a break In they still make their self known and if it only one cop they wait for back up he didn’t wait
Mr. R unfortunately she lost her life for nothing and won’t nothing happen to the cop he might get fired but all he have to do is wait a year and reapply somewhere else
Shoot first, ask questions later.
Wth is wrong with her having her lights on and doors open dude? What's wrong with you?
She just asking for trouble
That’s generally how a person unloads groceries from the car and brings them in the house. With the lights on and the door open
Dude didn’t even get “police officer “ outta his freaking mouth before he fired .. women didn’t even have time to acknowledge the words coming out of his mouth .... UNBELIEVABLE
He didn't give her a chance!
Who would be so sharp to react in 0.2 seconds to some light in your front window at that hour in the night. Not even a SEAL commando.
