I never understand when a cop shoot a person they get lesser times but when a person shoots a cop they get the maximus times. Something never changed
The point of that problem is that if a person is committed a crime in kill a police officer.
That's not the same thing.
If a person would take their time out and read the dictionary let alone the federal law not the state law the federal law that's what they get things mixed up at fed Trump state.
Then they will understand the law. Laws change every day different state have different laws different Counties have different laws different towns have different laws I mean it's not it's not going to be understood until you actually really read about these laws it like if you go into another country those are not the same as over here those worse than this over here sometimes.
People are not running from those countries to come over here for nothing they running from over there because it's worser but when they get over here it's even worse because they don't have nothing over here until they have to readjust in other words.
And people are not understanding the man down the street called the police instead of going to check on the woman.
That police had no reason to go to that woman house until that man called, then dispatched to her house.
People don't realize that's was third hand information really.
Okay look at it like this she left the door open the man called the police cuz he thought somebody broke in the dispatch sent the police officer first like four different transactions before that happened I mean you pay attention to the transactions that happened that's what led up to it she left the door open
He got more time than the officer who killed Laquan MacDonald.
He straight up murdered someone in their own home instead of simply knocking on the door like a sane person would do and announce who they are.
You literally have no idea what you're talking about.
You're scum
Maybe she shouldn’t have pointed a gun. “Police found a handgun near Jefferson's body, which according to her eight-year-old nephew, she was pointing toward the window before being shot”
Maybe you should get mad at the Mayor and Chief of Police for setting the standards on how they respond to these calls?
Nah, you'd rather just vilify someone instead of change things.
@@bofawhatsbofa4593 Citizens in this country have a right to defend themselces and their homes.
It wasn't manslaughter.... it was Murder.
no she had a gun
@@MoneyMan28 so what? A lot of white people have guns. I don't see police killing yall like that
@@DeaconYomouf She was pointing the gun at a cop
@@MoneyMan28 so at her fucking house and he nevertheless announce himself 💁🏽♀️ she had right to protect her home stupid ass
@@DeaconYomouf actually police are killing white people they just don't show it to you on the news cop just killed a white guy standing about 20 30 ft away from a cop with a machete in the cop just killed him shot him in the head for no reason
It took this long? He didn’t even give her a chance and snuck around the house…inside her own home.
Scary Af😔
Sad situation all around if he had just followed procedure instead of going above and beyond..🕊️
Givehim death penalty this is texas right?
he definitely act criminally
He probably knew the area color people lived in he could care less who he shot in the house straight up white supremacist
@@johnny-brings-a-good-pointthey all lied on this man, Including his partner.
He straight up murdered her.
No, she pointed a gun at a cop
@@MoneyMan28 No, he broke in to a house unannounced.
She did something *very* sensible. Someone brakes into your house and they do not identify themselves, you point a gun at them and ask who they are.
100% The cop didn't control the situation and he was able to do that. Walk around to the front door. Announce yourself.
This isn't rocket science and hundreds of thousands of cops do this every day.
Murder man.
@@MoneyMan28 so, she’s in the privacy of her own home she have a right to protect herself, he never announced him self and a police officer, plus he had his flashlight shining in her face, she couldn’t see outside. She shouldn’t be dead PERIOD!!!
Shame it took him killing someone for corrective action to be taken. An innocent life gone because a person that should never have had a badge was hired to “protect and serve.”
Sadly it will continue 🤷🏾♀️
Let me guess he probably knew the area was African American that says it all
Lol Blm🤡💩🍉
🎯
People shot by Police because of "a misunderstanding"?????
Thank you for pointing this out! I thought I was hearing things. They just can’t say what it is.
Jesus is white is something they would say on air so you shouldn't be shocked lol
He went to her bedroom window and she heard something, she had a gun but never pointed it and he didn't identify and decided to murder her by shooting her through her window 🤔see never knew the cops were there.
Anybody here looking for a "misunderstanding"?
You can have two people acting lawfully and still come up with a bad conclusion with one dead. Because self defense is on perception of the person employing it, not after days of evidence establishing what REALLY was happening around them. There was a case of an undercover cop having to shoot someone attacking him, the uniformed police showed up right as it happened and blew the undercover cop away. It's about perception at the time, they were shooting to protect others not knowing he was the "good guy", that was established after the fact just like here. When you look through a window and see a gun pointed at you, that enables you to respond in kind with lethal force, especially when taking a potential home invasion/burglary where the front door is open and the place is a mess at 3am. You don't know the intentions of the person inside pointing the gun at you. Self Defense in general is a split second reaction, if you spend too long to respond the question of motive then comes in. You don't have time often to establish and weigh everything that is going on.
They split the baby due to not being able to come to a consensus (notes were passed to judge during deliberation), which is not a lawful outcome. This was an emotional verdict. The correct verdict was not guilty. If you have a problem with how the police behaved, you blame the mayor and chief of police for implementing the ways they respond for these calls, these are the elected officials you vote in and who you should be mad at. Not throw the dude under the bus, nothing will change.
All this police officer had to do was announce himself as police
He wanted too Kill
How many times have we seen this happen now? Cops should not be sneaking around peoples properties trying to catch them off guard, *especially* with no warrant
@@taraMimi717
That’s why he didn’t mag dump?
@@log7029
Don’t worry, they won’t anymore. Got a problem with burglars, robbers, or rapists? Call lee merrit or ben crump. They can sue them for you 😂
@@LesserMoffHootkins a cop sneaking around my home without my knowledge does not make me any safer, that makes the *cop* the only intruder buddy.
If I saw someone walking around my house shining a flashlight into my windows, they would see a barrel staring back at them too. That’s how it works when you’re walking around someone’s house in the middle of the night.
Why is it never guilty of murder?? 🤔
A murder conviction *requires* proof of premeditation
Because the courts work with the departments and they don’t want to make the departments look bad. Lol they’re on the same team.
Because murder requires premeditation or intention. This is a textbook case of negligent manslaughter
We all know why…
cops can’t be convicted of 1st degree murder because
1st degree is premeditated
He went hunting. He was on a hunt.
Seems more like second degree murder. My understanding is that loss of life during willfull recklessness behavior is one of the examples of second degree murder. Also not an isolated incident. This guy had a lengthy history of breaking the rules while wearing the badge.
Scumbag. Next time your in a situation where the men in uniform have to save your weak ass. Remember this
Definitely bordering on premeditated murder for first degree. He was trained to police. He instigated a confrontation by trespassing on the property. Policy was his security blanket. Police department espoused his behavior in 2019.. It only reinforced his behavior. Or is that department policy too?
A blue protect another blue that’s why
@@manuelcorrea5182 They did not charge him with trespassing, because he didn't trespass. Being called there by neighbors about robbery, witnessing the door wide open at 3am, and a messy house gave him exigent circumstances to investigate. Two ways police can get by private property, exigent circumstances and a warrant.
@@garrettcrowl1294
Burglary, not robbery
Police officers should always identify themselves before entering a home. How else can the homeowner know it’s a police. Poor judgment on the officer trigger happy. Good justice 👍🏼✌🏼
A kid is left without a mother. Thats saddest
She still has a father.
She was his aunt, not his mother.
Manipulation is when they blame you for your reaction to their toxic behavior, but never discuss their disrespect that triggered the events
Shooting someone over toxic behavior and disrespect what the f*** are you smoking?? Are you a cop?
are you artistic? i mean Aut?
This is disgusting. Fn jury sucks….he should spend the rest of his life in prison.
And not one Black on the juror... Doesn't surprise me at ALL!!....
Yeah I hope the stupid juror gets the same like she did.

Why wasn’t he charged with reckless endangerment of a child 😢🙏🏽☮️
And bet he doesn't do more than 5 years
I concur 😒😒
Prolly wont do 5 months! 😡
Get special treatment from KKKop buddies! 🙄
I bet he gets his ramen stolen every commissary week
If that.
Plenty of you people do less than that for manslaughter

@@monetschannel5773not for a white police unfortunately
Aren’t these somewhat similar circumstances to the amber guyger case? She opened the door and entered an apartment that wasn’t hers and shot a man sitting in his own lazy boy watching t.v. That being said she got off light as well for the crime. What I’m trying to ask is how in the world is that action excusable or anything less than a life sentence with a minimum 30 years? It’s a disgusting legal system we have.
I remember that, she entered the neighbouring apartment thinking it was hers or so she said, she should have got a harsher punishment.

@@eveleo5066 Lucky it wasn't my family I would send a hit on him and been took him out it never would of made it to trial!
You have to prove more things for murder. Just like how many people get charged with aggravated assault instead of attempted murder. Easier to get a conviction
This segment did a complete disservice by omitting a key piece of information; the police were only there because a neighbor called and said their front door was open, and requested they perform a wellness check on the grandma. This guy went in guns ablazing when it was completely unnecessary. Police have a hard job as it is, so it's imperative we separate good ones from bad ones, and stop making excuses and protecting those unfit to serve. This one still hurts, Atatiana was like a little sister. I guess it's good this guy is getting more than a slap on the wrist, although he deserves much longer.
yes it was premeditated he knew she would have acted differently if he made it clear he was an officer so he deliberately did not say anything this was his track record. He has been doing this with premeditation setting up his victims
Criminals belong in jail!
"The house looked messy"
Lot's of people's houses
"Look messy ".
This excop was a ticking time bomb.
Such a shame, condolences to her family.
Call my fake cop not being a cop good old boy just give him a badge He's in go to color people neighborhood shoot the houses up he know what he was doing he got hate in his heart races hate
Help me understand how does a dispatcher put on the com's house 🏠 is messy🤭🤭🤭
Side 📝 note; make that make sense too me 1st.
These officers ain't gone never learn smh
Your absolutely right
Yes, I’m back. The officer was definitely wrong. That was messed up. Looks like cold blooded murder to me. I am so sorry the young lady had to go out like this. This is so Sad. Rest Babygirl.
L
The crazy thing is I do the same thing when I hear a strange noise at night outside. I get my weapon and peep around and look out the window. They should have announced themselves or at least knocked regardless.
Searching for a gunfight is a bad idea
@@johncena-hq1ti you’re autistic pipe down
@@johncena-hq1ti you speaking is a worse idea

No matter what people say, cop should not have shot her in her own house. Cop knew he was the threat.
He talking about given the facts🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️. The facts are MURDER🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️.
The umbrella term is he committed homicide. there is a difference between murder (which is planning or having the intent)
manslaughter is negligent and extremely unsafe behavior that causes the death of a person, which is great to have because that allows no excuses to take a life.
@@cyberzenASMR Murder🤷🏽♀️
@@allthingsgood2653 Murder is planning it out. Homicide is homicide 🤷
@@cyberzenASMR Murder🤷🏽♀️
@@allthingsgood2653 Well, that can be your opinion. reality is, it’s not the conviction.
you could of got longer sentence with hate crime + manslaughter.
This coward went there to kill someone. If he came in hot with lights and sirens a burglar would have most likely fled - which is why he likely parked away from the home and lurked around the property. He wanted to find someone prowling so that he could execute them. That sounds like premeditation to me.
Exactly. If you are just checking on a burglary, a cop should not park far away and sneak, or actually hunt for a situation to escalate into a reason to fire a weapon. This was planned. Just like he was hunting. Psychopath cop.
Thank God for this young man to had got up and play the game with his aunt cause ain't no telling how this would have went without Zion seeing everything go down
It's a real shame he wasn't charged with 1st degree murder and had the possibility of getting the 💉
No, she pointed a gun at a cop
@MoneyMan28 A Burglar, a Rapist, or a Killer, you mean!?
Heck naw.if the roles were reversed she would of God 1st degree but he gets a slap on the hand.that aint right
Cops always get over with lesser charges. Smh
Yeah, sucks. They should get 10x the punishment because they are the ones supposed to be upholding the law.
Nah this about right. No way a jury would believe he went there with the sole purpose and intent of murdering her. Now me personally I don’t believe in manslaughter but the laws don’t align. I think a drunk driver killing someone is murder too
He did not announce he's a police officer maybe he was embarrassed to be one
Maybe he was just giving a badge good old boy style flunk the test privilege white that is
Terry when you say he ordered her to put her hands up you left out that her shot her simultaneously while giving that order. Literally she was shot half a second after the command. She didn’t have an opportunity to submit
A lesson for the chief. When you decide you have to fire someone do it right away. Or stick them on desk duty. I imagine there is paper work that was being done to delay the firing.
It’s murder
This is Texas. He will acquitted upon appeal and then he can just be reinstate to the police force.
IT TOOK THIS LONG?!! It was clear from the video!
It want clear from the video that she had a gun, but she did.
*He was out for a "Hunt". Trigger happy & Out for Blood!. Yet ANOTHER example of "Police Defunding Themselves".*
FACTS for all the idiots who are trying to say this is some kind of miscarriage of justice:
1. Black people have just as much right to own firearms and defend their homes with them as white people. This lady legally owned her firearm and was holding it in her own home.
2. At no point did this officer (or any of the other police present) announce or identify themselves as police. Instead, they silently prowled around and even briefly INSIDE the victim's home in the middle of the night. Even their vehicles weren't visible from the house, meaning she had no way to know they were police. These facts were both verified by body cameras and their own testimony.
3. When Officer Dean saw her through the window with the gun, he issued a warning to her to drop the weapon, but still without any identification of himself as police. He also fired at her before he even finished the sentence, so she didn't have time to obey that command, even if she had somehow used psychic powers to figure out he was a police officer and not an intruder trying to scare her. This is all on camera.
4. GUILTY. CASE CLOSED.
No the officer did not instruct the victim to drop a firearm he instructed her to show her hands. Listen to the body cam again. And if he actually saw a firearm, why did he not warn his partner of a gun, which is protocol for a officer.
Phoenix had something similar happen a few weeks ago. We're a right to open carry state. A man checking his property with his rifle was shot and killed. Officer spouted orders and instantly started firing. Guy had no chance. What's the mentality of these SERVANTS!?
Hopefully this case supports what happened here.
I used to fully support the blue. Even having my ass kicked by MCSO. I was wrong. The injustice is clear.
Shame on the police and his negligence.
What's crazy is the lesser charge is the least of the wrongs here ,wait until the sentencing , that'll really be crazy I bet
Police are out of control. Period.
There ought to be separate laws for law enforcement and the plebs
Exactly, law enforcement should be considered guilty until proven innocent with video footage from the camera they’re supposed to be wearing.
There already is, it's called qualified immunity...
They definitely should be held to a higher standard. But it seems they except more out of the citizens. - even though they are supposedly trained.
Yes maybe death sentence for willful murder by police of people they should shot to injure not kill
Simple welfare check over an open door, not burglary attempt.
Neighbor Called 911 stating he thought house could be getting burglarized
@@SGtem geeze, stop fabricating lies. He called the non-emergency number to do a welfare check on the neighbor. This criminal went there and murdered the young lady.
@@SGtem not the original story
@@carlosn9250 I saw the local news report the very next day after it happened , they interviewed the neighbor ..
@@alntr2872 i saw the local news report maybe less then 24 hours after the incident.. they interviewed the neighbor and he stated he thought the house might be getting burglarized..
Now that I think about it this sounds like another breonna case
can it be an accident or negligence if the person involved is aware that a policy or a procedure is there in place to prevent a certain outcome in a scenario? thinking about that, when a police officer does exactly what he has been trained, not to do, can you call it an accident? Can you call it manslaughter? When you are purposefully, knowingly, doing something wrong. It is not an accident when something goes bad. That man should be charged, for murder. I know.
Their protocol for burglary is too not announce or use lights
This cop saw a black woman in her home and shot her. Why is the conviction not murder????
Bout damn time. They consistently charge these people
Make him pay in jail
Finally justice for her
Incompence doesn’t mean you should get a manslaughter charge.
Are you saying he shouldn't be charged?
That's exactly what a manslaughter charge is for
Pretty sure he meant it as "only a manslaughter charge."
@@Ug0tmi1k no. He should of got 2nd degree murder.
You shoot somebody in their house through their window that's murder.
if she shot him before he shot her, this case wouldve ended a lot sooner, because he didnt identify himself as a police officer, and his flashlight gets rid of all possibility as identifying him as a uniformed officer.
I know a few people who became officers just to do that they haven't not got caught and they will not
Give him a 1000 years
A man cases a house from the outside with a drawn gun. When he someone inside, he immediately fires the gun. The drawn gun shows premeditation. Premeditation is a requisite for a murder charge, irrespective of whether the man was a civilian or a policeman. And with the extensive training that policeman get, this cannot possibly be called manslaugher nor justifiable homicide: IT'S MURDER.
He probably knew the area so many times color people live there he could care less shooting in their house
The house matched the description of a burglary in progress.
Could have helped if the cop had identified himself.
But NO. Easier to shoot first and ask questions later.
stop fabricating lies, do you know Aaron the criminal or something?
@@alntr2872 the way Aaron knew that this woman he killed was a criminal and shot her.
This is why I have NO respect for law enforcement and the judicial system. None.
Nor do I feel any sadness when I see one of them fall.
Of course the jury chose to go with the lesser charges. Gross.
Wow how sad for the young lady and her family
This was the smuggest looking sob I've ever seen. I would still be looking crazy for taking someone's life. 2 to 25yrs give his but the max. Absolutely unexceptable.
As long as they know they're not going to get a lot of time for murder or misunderstanding or a mistake they're going to continue to do this the judges need to step their games and sentences up
Fucking system never change I wonder what would happen if one of their loved ones would get killed it a mistake too
Manslaughter?!!!!! So basically he can get out in a yr for "good behavior ", this was murder period!
We already knew he'd get manslaughter though it's just the length of time that concerns me
Seems he got off easy.. RIH Sweet Young Lady.
At least they’re finally doing something about these maniacs
Just think if that was a pale face in her house and an officer of color... I don't have to tell you what you already know. MURDERER IS HIS JUDGEMENT. We need our own police in our neighborhood's. PEOPLE'S OF COLOR
He gave me Peeping Tom vibes this was bizarre 😢💙🙏🏾💙🙏🏾
Sad for her family.
The jury got this absolutely incorrect! This was murder! He went there with prejudicial thoughts. Instead of simply going to the door and asking if everything was ok. Dean went into her yard prowling around like the criminal that he is. This call could have been cleared in seconds. He's a spineless trigger happy coward.
Misunderstanding?! This women was in her own home, and this cop is creeping Through her window in the middle of the night than shoots her…that’s not a misunderstanding.
Praise God, he didn’t get away, Justice
Dirtbag is still breathing.
@globalbite5577 Because Europe, Africa, Asia, are all peaceful places.
"MISUNDERSTANDING"? Right!!! 🙄🙄
The caller should also be held accountable for making the phone call to 911!
How is he eligible for the LESSER CHARGE!!? This is STRAIGHT UP BULLSHIT!!!
Thank you Jesus 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
Sneaking around people's homes. Luck he wasn't killed! never once announced himself
Then he shoots her and blames the victim only in America lol
He wasn’t supposed to
@@johncena-hq1ti yes he was just in case of situations like this that led him to a manslaughter charge that should’ve been a murder charge.
He was about to be fired before he took this woman’s life.
They should have fired him immediately upon decision/thought. This woman would still be here.
Is this really justice?⚖️ I don't think so. Only manslaughter aka a slap on the damn wrist. 🤬🤬🤬
What did she do to get shot
Neighbor called 911 saying he thought house was being burglarized cop shows up door wide open he saw she had a gun looking out the window he assumed she was the burglar and he shot her ..I was say it was a misunderstanding..
Exist in her own house.
This was 1st degree Murder, not an accident...
1st requires pre-planning, but it is definitely 2nd and not manslaughter.
Murder 1 life without parole
Why didn't they fire the other officer? The she break all the same rules except she didn't shoot anyone. Why does she get to keep her job?
Found guilty 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Lord
Sounds like he should have never been a police officer. Who shoots into a house without knowing who is inside?
Backing up a step, what would be happening to her if she'd murdered him?
May have been a good idea for her to announce, "I have a gun and I will use it".
Just hindsight 20/20
Agreed!!! If she had murdered him would anybody CRY, SCREAM, be VIOLENT for the murder of a police officer? NO. Good point. She could have announced herself with a gun, just like officers announce themselves.
she didnt kill someone though, he did
Telling the police you have a gun will most definitely get you shot and he will say he feared for his life and he will get away with it.
As a police officer you need to be aware of all such things instead of just instantly fire.
Fact is American police is compared to other nations not well trained protocols are problematic and also the ability to become a police officer is much lower in the USA
American police is the only industrial nation police force known for killing many civilians and getting away with it.
Maybe think about that for a moment
Ah yes, let us lay the blame on a victim. Americans never change. You guys have complete brain rots.
Police should get a year for every syllable in the persons name that killed. Atatiana Jefferson =17 yrs
Wow he received 11 years in prison for killing her. Wtf does the house being messy has to do with anything. So sad
So had the house been not as "messy",
she wouldn't have been killed or what? smdh
