Whether this man called the police or not this woman did not deserve to die
Especially since it was a wellness check…
@@battlerudee exactly
Yes but communicate with ur neighbors first my god were being killed 👈
@Chef JB he said he had never seen the woman that lived there,use the front door and he didn't want to go over there and startle her at that time of night.
He called the police there is no "not". His actions resulted in what happened to her.
That cop had no business shooting that poor woman in her own house. He needs to be held accountable to the FULLEST.
This defense lawyer is so annoying! Trying to justify this officer deleting an innocent woman! Maybe if the officer knocked on the door and identified himself, Ms. Jefferson might be alive!
I agree she might still be alive. Yes, he is so annoying. The way he tried to confuse Zion (the nephew that was with her) really pissed me off. Then he tried everything he could to get this witness to say he lives in a dangerous neighborhood.
As despicable as it is that is what the defense are supposed to do, even if your guilty. Legal yes, moral no.
Yelp
exactly ... and he obviously knew how guilty he was because he resigned from the force 2 days after the shooting
Nailed it
What does neighborhood crime have to do with this officer shooting this woman during a welfare check??
Absolutely NOTHING!
Neighborhood crime would effect the officers mindset. Looks like the defense want to use it as a reason for the officer's state of mind and actions. His actions after the shooting indicates that his intentions was to murder a burglar and get a way with it.
@@iamJorgeLopes yes
It truly has nothing to do with the crime at hand. This is their way of protecting their own. Sad but true. I'm glad he now knows just how educated we are.
Zero
What he did was the act of caring.. he cared enough to ensure his neighbors were safe. He call the non emergency line and didn’t ever mention a concern of foul play or burglary. This could have easily been interpreted as a medical concern. They assumed it was violence and reacted in the most negligent manner.
Perfect 👏cause people keep saying why would u call the police he didn’t call in as a emergency he just wanted to make sure everything was alright we need to get to know our neighbors cause we can’t trust the police never could
Exactly!
Because of the area being highly melanated.
@Handsome Wade Brody Jr. had he did that an it was in fact a burglary he could be dead too. Non-emergency means just that. This cop was completely at fault.
Uncle ruckus is the cause of this all he should've minded his business
The man was concerned because the front door was open and he said he never saw it open before it was not a normal occurence. The elder sister said that door was always locked and they used the other door which is always open. He did not call and say there are a group of gun men breaking in my neighbour house they are smashing down the door hurry, he was just concerned. Its up to them what they do with the call. So before bashing the gentleman for calling the people who are supposed to protect the citizens and not killing them think first. The police killed her not the gentleman.
❤️
@Julie Matt what a damn coward... he should have known what happens when you call the cops for any reason, they show up with a damn gun!!!
This idiot could have easily called the neighbor or knocked or rang the door.bell
@@madmaximilian5783 irrespective of who did what and when, the fact is that the officer shot her, failed to provide medical aid, and therefore is the only person who is responsible for Ms. Jefferson's death
That's why I'm not getting how it became burglary call?
@@madmaximilian5783 how is he a coward
How on earth did the cops interpret this as a possible robbery in progress?
Right. He gave all the necessary information.
Black neighborhood so they automatically judged it as a crime in progress. Same way the attorney calls Zion a man, but in the same breath they will call a grown 50 yr old man a boy. Yall know what this is about. MLK said we were entering a burning house of Hell!!
late at night , doors ajar ... certainly was possible
@@marklenhay5903 then announce as police per protocol....not sneak around like a damn burglar.
@@tahariobi391 I agree with you 100% as well
Already listened to the testimony of the young nephew.. it is obvious that she was murdered! She was murdered!
Bless her nephew for being so well spoken! He was raised with exceptional manners and composure❣️
This case should be a No Brainer..
You are absolutely right!! The way they badgered that baby was totally ridiculous!!! He’s a strong little boy though, they couldn’t break him. They tried though 😢
@@latonialee4086 I wonder why the little boy was up at 2:50am playing video games? Something is wrong with all of this. The attorney tried to make the little boy out to be a liar.
@@4dyamondx745 Many possible reasons. That has absolutely nothing to do with this murder though.
So many dense people in the comment section it’s actually ridiculous HE IS NOT THE REASON SHE GOT KILLED THE POLICE WAS THE REASON SHE DIED He was a concerned neighbour and did the right thing bless him probably feels guilty for helping
They aren't dense. Many people open their doors to get a cross breeze on extremely hot nights. My sister did that when she lived in Louisiana. I'm sorry the neighbor didn't know that.
Agree with you 💯
@@audreyevans7422 he said it was unusual for them to have their doors open. And the nephew testified that they don't usually have the doors open.
If he didn't call the police she'll still be here so how is it not his fault? He should've minded his business
@Savanah Laws no, if the got damn trigger happy police officer had done hid job and knocked on the front door and loudly announced FORT WORTH POLICE! Instead of creeping around to her back bedroom window and tapping on it then yelling show me your hands and shooting before she could follow his command, she would be alive. FOH
This was pointless. There is no excuses on what the cop did
That's why people should get their neighbor number, so they can call them to find out things without calling the police.
I agree with you completely, I wondered why he didn't call. It'd have made everything easier. It's sad
I totally agree. Really don’t know how to feel about this. 😢
I agree whole heartedly.
I absolutely agree
I’m a 911 dispatcher. You’d be surprised at how many people call police reporting something that’s possibly going on at the neighbors house even when they tell us they have a wonderful relationship with their neighbors but don’t feel like asking is everything ok. Neighbors are nosey asf and 99.9% of the time the neighbors are absolutely fine and have no idea why police are knocking on their door. We’ve come to the conclusion that people just like to call 911. Now calls involving open properties are totally different. Cops come over the air to tell us they have an open property. We make sure a supervisor is aware. Sufficient backup units are sent to make sure the front and rear of the property is secured and or guarded PRIOR to announcing themselves and then entering while still announcing themselves as they clear every room. This cop is lying. He did not follow protocol for an open property.
He was concerned for his neighbor, and the attorney is asking him questions did you do XYZ, and the police didn't do any of that!! They shot and killed that young woman never announced their self 🙄SMH, just killed her and trying to save their asses now!!
What kind of officers doing a welfare check, who don't pull up to the residence in their marked police vehicle? And why wouldn't they knock, or ring the doorbell, instead of sneaking around the house in the dark? Total incompetence!!
Exactly! That is why I say most cops are stupid and incompetent!!!!
While shinning their flashlight
The officer testified because of the house was being robbed they didn't want to alert the robber(s)
Scared Police Officers
@@audragutridge3385 He had no legitimate reason to think so. Nothing was out of place besides the open door
I don't like this line of questioning about the damn neighborhood. Every neighborhood has crime
This defense attorney is so unnecessarily confrontational, he just comes across as a bully.
Ok, so I'm sure you're saying the same thing when the aggressive prosecuter cross examined the cop on trial....
Oh wait, who am I kidding, you won't care then.
That's what I said!
@work horse the cop murdered her and he is a concerned citizen. Gtfoh with that foolish comparison. 🤡
@@workhorse7134 Nope didn't then and still don't now
No the defense attorney is a COWARD!!!! Esp when he was cross examining the little boy.
What the heck does crimes in the neighbourhood had to do with the shooting..? The officer was the one that did the shooting. 😱
Exactly
They are trying to indicate that the neighborhood is crime ridden so the officer had every right to be extremely cautious and assume it was a burglary. The lawyer is trying to create reasonable doubt by justifying the “shoot first” mentally of this ex-police officer.
No good deed goes unpunished....😔
Condolences to her family 💔💔💔💔🙏😭😭
So they want to make him look like a criminal instead of the actual criminal cops.
That’s exactly what they’re trying to do. Jerks
He's a dignified man and i would love to have him as a neighbor. He didn't mess up, Aaron Dean did.
please
@@lateefahcotton5010 please what?
please that's someone love one what if it was your daughter that's what!
no remorse
@@lateefahcotton5010 that man was a concerned neighbor. His intentions were good. How could he have known Aaron Dean was going to mess up like that.
I am a single women that live alone. I would prefer a uniform officer to knock and ask if everything is okay than a man and his nephew at 2:00 am in the morning. There’s friendly neighbors and there are creepy neighbors. He did the right thing. Unfortunately the wrong cop showed up at the home. People are really blaming him for being considerate. And what if she was being robbed he would have put himself in danger too.
Agreed. I'm 57, live alone & ANYONE knocking on my door after dark would freak me out. I live in the country and nope, nope, nope.
Ten cop cars to a crime scene for a cop that shoots one black woman that is in her own damn home? Can you say, *"COVER UP"???*
Not to mention muted scenes from the body cam, definitely was a COVER UP in the making after the details were called in
Never,ever, ever call the police, unless you want someone murdered.
Facts
Even in Canada, family called cops on their mentally ill son, normally they’d take him to the hospital, he had a knife so rookie cops shot him dead. Even here in rural NL a lone cop from the premieres private security went to question a man on Easter Sunday 2015 about a vague social media comment he made they took as threat to the premiere. The man was shot and killed. It was ruled officer used appropriate force for self defence. The same cop was later caught lying on motorcyclists helmet cam, ticketing the motorcyclist for going through a red light but video showed the light wasn’t red and that cop threatened him with more bogus charges, proving the cop is a liar, and he Was charged with obstruction.
Another time here in NL Canada a cop took an intoxicated woman home to her house, broke into her house because she didn’t have her key and then SA’d her. He’s been convicted 3 times but the judge made ‘mistake’ with instructions so keep having to be retrials! ! And he was on leave the whole time during trials. Like weather SA was proven or not he had sex while on duty, how was he not fired?! Doug ‘the slug’ Snelgrove.
Stanford prision experiment was said to be failure because they said certain type of people volunteered and that’ was cause of the screwed up behaviour, well I think it was a success, it showed what kind of people want to become cops, it shows the profession attracts these types of people.
I'm so disturbed about what they're doing to this innocent man. He was wise and caring and this us what he gets.
Totally agree. Who does not want a caring neighbour? ❤️
@@essendonhennessey A caring neighbor wouldn't call men with guns to your house, especially if you are black.
@@cdd33ar I agree
@@cdd33ar he called a non-emegerncy line... Why would a man with a gun except he's just a trigger happy f€¥cker show up and shoot?! And you some how think hes justified because "hE sHoUlD HaVe NeVeR bEeN cAlLeD".... Y'all will never make excuses for other professionals acting out of protocol.
If I remember correctly the victim was a firefighter so she was use to working with the police. If they took one second to identify themselves, the situation could have gone so much differently.
That hot headed cop killed her. He was called out to do a wellness check, he was being a good neighbor 🧐if he had done nothing then ppl would say why wasn’t anyone looking out for the neighborhood 🤷🏽♀️ he didn’t shot anyone or say it was a crime
Exactly
exactly.. damned if you do and damned if you don't
Facts went from a wellness check to burglary how I don't get that
I think the issue is what he perceived also he is a careful Old MAN get that old which means he might have been a bit worried for his safety, hence his approach to the situation, however the on the other hand he could taken the time and said "Hey!" To get a reaction before calling.

He something why his old Azz up 2:30 in the morning looking at that lady home
So sad RIP my beautiful sister
What is the point of this cross examination of a witness? He seem to be on trial here? Why? Make him the fall guy and not the cop?
The cops should of knock on the front door first. I understand why James called the cop but he should told them that there 3 people live in that house. The operator should told the cops to do wellness check.
@@electricpaper269wrong. You ppl are a disgrace to humanity. It’s ppl like you who makes it easier for cops to commit murder & get away with it. Stfu. You’re so wrong I& that is not that department policy. Just say you’re a racist instead of commenting false information. Stfuuuuu
We want to have people with good taste as our chefs. We want people who are tough to be in our military. We want people who are organized to be managers.. The list goes on and on this guy should’ve never been a cop
@Electric Paper I disagree thar the cop is in the clear. The neighbor who called didn't even realize that they were cops when they showed up on the scene. The cops didn't identify themselves. They're at fault in this instance. I would prefer my neighbors not call the cops to my house. Being black, my chances of being disrespected or shot by police automatically increase.
@@electricpaper269 so if you leave your front door you agree the police should be able to enter your property??? I can leave my door open and have my house in any condition I want
@@electricpaper269 those pigs did that to cover what they did
peace and prays for family hope the nephew gets peace in his soul he seen alot hes never going to forget that day or those ccops
I know he feels horrible. Sad how a chain of events lead to her tragic fate. Burnt burgers. Concerned neighbors. Not following his training, scared of his own shadow former officer arrives for a wellness check. Unalives a woman playing video games with her nephew.
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH MURDERING A INNOCENT PERSON. Summer time Young people stay up at night.
The nephew said he burned some burgers so the doors were open to let smoke out
HAD EVERYTHING TO DO WITH MURDERING A INNOCENT PERSON YOU FOOL!!!!
I can see that he still feels responsible for Ataiana's killing. He was just a concerned neighbor about his neighbor's doors being open in the wee hours of the morning. I pray that God will give him peace about his neighborly actions.
He did the reasonable and responsible thing by calling the police; the front And side doors had been open for 4 hours! At 2 in the morning!!! I would definitely want a neighbor as concerned as these good people; it's pretty alarming!
I wished he would have had the foresight to go check his neighbors himself.
And risk his life? You should be able to call professionals to there job.
@@Meds1000MD right that would be crazy especially if you are not armed that is the police job I see a bunch a superman's in this comment section and they probably would have done the same
It was 2 am!
At 2:00 in the morning? That could get him killed. The puke cop is to blame here, not this man.
They tried it!!! He stuck to it💪🏽
Exactly. The disrespect shown to this man by the Defense Attorney is thoroughly disgusting.
Its they job to turn the truth into a lie and turn the lie into the truth
I'm looking at this from a different angle. Did you see that building next to her house. Yeah as an older person I'm pretty sure they did not want that house there. There's no limit to what they will go through to take your land
They really tried to paint a bad picture of his neighborhood. The witness is very intelligent!
With modern technology, you would think Law Enforcers or the dispatcher would perform a courtesy call 📞 to the homeowner or current resident before proceeding.
That's why it's important to have a relationship with your neighbours. My neighbours are line family and we have each other's numbers, we invite over for gatherings ect...there is no reason in my mind that this could of been avoided if he could of just called her. But, he is not wrong he was just realizing a different pattern which means he is aware of his surroundings.
Exactly, it was a few family members, why couldn't a few of them go over abs check????
I can't imagine the guilt he's living with all for calling the police to check on his neighbor. They need to stop giving guns to these loser officers. There should be a more in depth mental evaluation done before these idiots are handed a badge.
I don't blame him, I blame the cop. We all want someone to care and call 📞 if something unusual happens around our homes 🏡
No I don't need that
He is holding his own extremely well and with dignity, against that harsh intimidating defense attorney. Even though he shouldn't have called the police to that neighborhood, except in true emergencies, I feel terribly sorry for him and the guilt he must be feeling.
Yes, he is holding his own. As for not calling the police except in an emergency, I assume you live in the city and know the ins and outs about the neighborhood? The man is dammed for calling and would have been dammed for not calling if she and Zion were later found dead inside her home. My heart goes out to him, he cared, he called the non-emergency number TRIGGER HAPPY OFFICER DEAN arrived and decided not to follow proper police protocol which resulted in the murder of Atatiana Jefferson and the traumatizing of her then 8 year old nephew Zion.
He called the NON-EMERGENCY # for a well check. He did nothing wrong. The cop did.
Nope sorry this is 100% neighbors fault people need to learn to stop calling the police over every little stupid thing bro
@@lamalady57EXACTLY ....
@@U_think_my_sister_a_h0e Nope sorry you're wrong and as usual the cop is the only one at fault because he is the one that pulled the trigger shot into the house and killed Atatiana!
God forbid I have to call on these rac*ist devils for anything but in my opinion, the neighbor did exercised excellent critical thinking skills in assessing the situation.
After all ; the doors & windows of the house were open because of a potential "fire" that could have happen at 2am in the morning due to the smoke from burning the hamburger. Thank God didn't happen. And as the neighbor stated, in the wee hours of the morning like that, he did not want to startle Atiana nor being a so called blak man nor die at the hands of the trigger happy cop, so he called them to do a "Simple" wellness check but instead the cop did what they do the most in the usa, went & murdered another innocent so called black man, woman or child in their OWN HOME where they should be safe!
He took this girl life on a non-emergency call 😡
Hey did they not bleep out his social security number!!! His whole SSN is on here for the whole world to hear!!
No his phone number
The officer attorney is trying to make this man say he lives in a high crime area. Funny because not all black communities are high crime areas. All neighborhoods in my hometown that are black hardly have crimes committed. Normally it’s a person being arrested for child support or have a joint on them. 😂😂 the stereotype we face.
My prayers go out for the family
What a great neighbor! I love his concern and composure.
Why did you call the non emergency number? Because that's exactly what he was supposed to have done when he didn't see an emergency occurring. Instead, as per usual, FTW PD sends out multiple units guns out, creeping around the back yard in the middle of the night. And in that neighborhood too!
Blessings and best wishes to this caring man and neighbour
❤️❤️
So the friendly neighbor didn’t want to startle her by knocking or calling but thought maybe police at the door would be LESS startling?
All he had to do was call out her name and if no answer then call the police
You see how old this man is? Do you think old men like to walk into mysterious situations in the middle of the night? What do you think he is Batman??
I really hope he changed his #

“A neighborhood is where you live.” This man is sharp.
Never call police unless you have no other way..
He wasn't armed so he could have gotten killed I don't blame him for not wanting to be seen as a potential witness if burglars was really there he would have been killed it's a bunch of superman's in this comment section that probably would have done the same. It's the police job to check and make sure everything is ok just use your brain
@@hazybeatz1327 He said the door had been open since 10:00 pm. What burglar sits around a house for 4 hours? He stated that they never kept their door open, but it could've been a friend of the family house-sitting for them while the mom was in the hospital. Why call the laws 4 hours later?
@@Marie_Laveau maybe because people may leave there doors open if they are bringing groceries inside but it's for a quick time so it wasn't much of a concern at that time so maybe he went on to do other things and saw it was still open at a later time he lived right across the street do you have another analogy to counter mines? It doesn't take rocket science to know that
What does the neighborhood crime have anything to do with this
I can't imagine how much he must be hurting. THIS DAMN COP KILLED HIS NEIGHBOR. PRAYERS TO THE FAMILY, NEIGHBORS. THIS IS TRAGIC.
They should've cross examined the lady on the other line, how did she interpret this to the police???
The insulting questions that the defense asks in order to justify the responsibility of the shooter.
I had a traumatic childhood experience that im just remembering as a grown up. I found the news article to confirm before I went to my family.
If you are that concerned and you are familiar with this family. Go over to the house and check on your neighbor. Otherwise mind your business. But, do not call the Police under any circumstances. They have a tendency of escalating any situation. You as a black man know this never the police.
The Defense is having trouble getting this guy to say he lives in a dangerous criminal neighborhood.
And that would make the cop's shooting reasonable, not an unjustified killing. Wow.
@@judithrandall4690 what are you a bootlicker?
That doesn't justify this at all
@@leahanderson30 That's what I meant.
@@judithrandall4690 it could sway the jury to let the cop off because he was so scared knowing the neighborhood was a high crime area (if the neighbor had said that). But he didn't say that, making it tougher on the defense lawyer.
If this man could go back in time i bet he never wished called that MURDERER.
Why are the personal information parts like witnesses phone numbers and addresses not censored out??
He was calling for a welfare check. He never advised of any danger but a concern.
He called the non emergency number, because he didn't suspect an emergency. As a nosy neighbor he did the right think, he also told her that both cars are home, and the front door is normally open. So I understand his call to the non emergency number. So where did they park the police vehicle? Don't ever let them words in your mouths, say what you say and mean it.
They parked their cars down the street in a vacant home and walked to her house, without lights, and crept around the back of the home without announcing themselves
If both cars are outside then that means people are home. Their lights being on late at night just mean people are still up. When minding someone else business goes wrong
This brotha is smart at answering questions
Calm and collected
He basically wanted a wellness check. A caring act. And the person he wanted checked on got murdered. Jesus..
This Defense Attorney is RUDE and very Disrespectful.
According to the non- emergency call the lights were on inside the house!!
Looking into the house you have exceptionally great vision, however from inside the house your looking into total darkness.
The police were outside a very long time, enough time to look inside every window without being seen.
There body cams have really been diced up.
It appeared to be a break-in with the doors open for 4 hours at 2 in the morning. A dangerous situation.
Just another example of calling the police doesn’t do ANYTHIN but make the situation soooooo much worse than it EVER should of been. Just sad sad sad.
He will need some serious therapy until he closes his eyes. One call, one call, and she is no more.
I'd rather exchange phone numbers with my neighbors and have them call me than for them to call cops for a "wellness check. "Look what it led to.
😭💔
Is the purpose of the defence attorney's questions to show that he's earning the money he charged the accused.
Nobody could have called her to see if she was OK before calling police? Neighbors are calling each other but can't call her? And all the neighbors are sitting outside on the porch waiting to see what happened, but nobody had any sense of urgency that there was something bad happening and didn't bother to check? Nobody called in an emergency, nobody voiced any urgent concern to the dispatcher. And since when do police secretly skulk around a property with guns drawn for a 'welfare check'? This cop was obviously having a dull night, and wanted to play cops and robbers way too bad.
I have always called my neighbor if I seen anything suspicious… I have all of my neighbors numbers we look out for each other in that way.
Blame game. WELLNESS CHECK. HE DID NOT KILL HER......The irony of this outcome. Yes the officer killed her
@@essendonhennessey are you Accusing the man of killing her? Because I’m just stating what I have done and will always do if I’m concerned with any of my neighbors.
As protocol the cops were suppose to wait for backup before going into that house.
This poor guy.
He was concerned about his neighbor and called 9-1-1, thinking he was doing a good thing, then a maniac cop shoots and kills an innocent woman.
The defense lawyer ask some of the dumbest questions and he ask the same questions over and over again. Trying to trip people up.
You have an officer who overreacted refusing to be accountable and the then at the end attempt to shift the blame on this concern black man. Typical
So basically the neighbors were concerned because the front door was wide open for several hours so they called the police to check on them because that door is never open like that but in actuality the reason why the door was open according to the nephew he had cooked some burgers but forgot about them and they burned causing smoke to fill the house so his aunt Atatiana open up the doors to let the smoke out and probably forgot after a couple of hours went pass from her playing the game. That's crazy how the officer just went straight to shooting when the neighbor never said he suspected a burglary in process but that he was just worried and wanted a wellness check done smh i know this poor man feels guilty but it's not his fault
Funny how they pull the caller into court (something I've never seen or heard done) for this case but never do it for other issues. They need to start doing this every time.
I bet he feels terrible guilt because if he hadn't made that phone call, Atatiana Jefferson may be alive today. The cops should have just knocked on the door as a welfare check. It is obvious that the owners of the house are there, and both cars are in the driveway.
I'm shocked that a Texas jury with no black juror sentenced any cop to 11 years and found him guilty of anything
I admit, I hate he called the cops but this man is not to blame for that coward cop's reckless behavior.
People don't just walk up to someones home anymore, especially when they expect trouble or something going on, and they most definitely dont do it in the middle of the night.
The neighbor did what he thought was best and made sense to him at the time of this awful situation.
It is the cop that did not follow protocol.
It is the cop who chose not to identify himself.
It is the cop that shot and killed an innocent woman in her very own home all because he's a coward.
For example, If you read negative reviews about a doctor who is scheduled to perform heart surgery on you; during your heart surgery the doctor makes a mistake that places you in a life threatening situation, would you Blame the people that reported the reviews for it or Blame the doctor that Actually committed the act?
You would blame the doctor, regardless of what the people reported as the doctor has a job to do and an oath to abide by.
The officer is the only one in this situation who committed a reckless, disgusting, and deplorable act.
Now a young lady is dead.
He deserves to rot in prison for taking this girls life!!
As black people unfortunately once you call the cops anything can happen. That’s why he called the non emergency line and she still got shot to dead in her own living room
He must not have a background he not bring it up
For real!!
Why is it his job to call any one? Its the police who didn't do what they were supposed to!! He has no Obligation to do anything PERIOD!!😡
Im just lost for words right now… rest in power TaeTaye
Anyone that can defend a crooked cop give me a vibe of not human
He could have called out to the lady asking if she alright.But calling the police, even out,as he says,concerned is what got her killed
People in comments saying neighbor should have mined his own business would be the same people saying he should have called police if she was being being brutally in the home for hours and he did nothing. The cop was the
problem. Not him.
Everyone in Texas knows better than to call the Police.. He knows this
He isnt a poll or a census guide. Wtf with all the inquiry about a run down of Mr Rodgers neiborhood??
my neighborhood has never had a murder.
He just called for welfare check for his neighbor bec the front door was open which was unusual .I 'm sure he will carry the agony in his chest forever How could he imagine inexperienced officers would come He is a good man with definite good intentions
The defense attorney is everything that is wrong in this system. Why would that man call out or go to the back of the house? Why would he know the safety stats of his entire neighborhood? Why can't he feel safe in his section of the neighborhood?
So Neighbors don't check on each other anymore... they have to call the police to check in on them...smh. Who's Your Neighbor??? Are You Your Neighborhoods Keeper.....?
Because he wasn't armed dumbo. Why would he go check if potential burglars are in the house to be killed. Use your brain Superman.
@@hazybeatz1327 Girl... When you check on your neighbors...you need a gun??? Where do you live in the Wild ..Wild West lol
