Witness shot to death, wtf
https://www.dallasnews.com/news/crim...mr_sh_sdxumly/
Cop is sent to investigate a home that had doors open. After creeping around the exterior of the house, he fires into a dark window, murdering a black woman in her home.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...-home-n1065451
Abridged version:
-Neighbor called non-emergency line to request a wellness check on the family (who he personally knew) after observing doors open in the middle of the night
-Cops arrived, noted open door in well-lit area, but proceeded to go to a dark part of the yard
-Cop sees someone through a window, shouts a hands-up command, and fires a single fatal shot - all in the span of four seconds
Here's how it's going to play out: cop will testify that the open door led him to believe there was an intruder in the house. They found a weapon in the room, so they'll claim that the cop saw it through the window and felt his life was in danger. Months and months from now, it'll finally go to trial, drag out, and he'll be acquitted. The cycle will continue.
Please, universe, prove me wrong on this.
She was sitting in her bedroom, playing video games with her 8 year old nephew. She got up to check out noises outside of the window, and that was it.
That poor little kid. I cannot even fucking imagine.
Fuck the cops and their tHeRe WaS a GuN iN tHe HoMe.
AND? You know if that shit was anywhere near her, the headline would be HERO COP FENDS OFF VIOLENT THUG BRANDISHING A WEAPON.
Next they're going to discover that she smoked weed in 2002.
This shit is exhausting. Where you at, NRA? Oh, yeah...

The murderer resigned. I hope he still is brought to trial and convicted but the blue wall, right?

The Fort Worth PD has also requested that the FBI investigate a possible civil rights violation.

Not sure this is the right thread, but it feels the most relevant (plaese correct me if i'm wrong)
So Chris Morris is the director of The Day Shall Come (a dark comedy about race and the FBI in the US, it's very good) and he did a Podcast talking about how they made the film and...fuck me, some of these entrapment cases the FBI have created are just fucking NUTS! It's well worth a listen (note that the Podcast is made in a light comedy ton regardless of what ever they are talking about)

And there we have it...he's not gonna be convicted of murder. I'm aware he's already been charged, but now that there's a plausible shadow of a doubt that he might have seen a gun, murder isn't going to happen. Lesser charge, maybe.
(And to be clear...if I were a gun owner and I noticed strangers creeping around my yard in the middle of the night, you bet your ass I'd be armed as I investigated the situation. Police fucked up royally in so many ways beyond the obvious "shooting someone" portion of the night.)

According to the warrant, Jefferson had been playing video games with her 8-year-old nephew in the bedroom when she told him she had heard noises outside the window.Her nephew told police she took the handgun and pointed it at the window right before she was shot.
Officer C.A. Darch, Dean's partner, told investigators she saw Jefferson's face through the window when Dean fired his weapon, but the warrant does not say whether the officers saw Jefferson holding the weapon before firing.
He still didn’t identify himself as police, and he gave her less than 1 second to comply with his demand to put her hands up.
She had a legally-owned weapon in an open carry state. Texas is also a castle doctrine state.

They're definitely making every single effort to change the narrative now to avoid having to prosecute and imprison another cop.
Back in March, plain clothes cops executed a no-knock warrant (at the wrong place - not even in the right part of the city) for someone who had already been arrested, in the middle of the night without identifying themselves. After anonymously forcing their way into a private home in the middle of the night, someone inside shot at them. Cops returned fire and killed his partner, Breonna Taylor, who was shot 8 times.
After the murder, and while withholding the information that her daughter had died, cops desperately searched for a way to reframe the narrative by asking the mother if Breonna had any enemies or if she and her partner had been fighting.
Then they arrested her partner and charged him with assault and attempted murder of a cop.
The fucking audacity.
^ This is so fucked up. Enraging. Where is the justice??????
New video shows Floyd not resisting at all.
The cop apparently broke Floyd’s neck.
Social media posts are circulating depicting killer cop on his FB page wearing a red hat that reads “Make America White Again”
Should've taken his own goddamn hat's advice.
