Here’s an idea: when the police officer says put your hands up, do it. Put your hands up! Don’t delay. They are as afraid as you are.

If a cop holding a gun at an unarmed woman is just as afraid as an unarmed woman with a gun pointed at her (inside her own home)... then that cop probably shouldn't be working in the field.

It's murder. It's not an accident. It's not "unfortunate". It's not anything except murder.

And this cop and the department need to be forced to answer for how this happened. I don't give a damn about their need for CYA rhetoric. Why did this happen?

Unless it’s a “No knock warrant”, there was no reason for the officers not to call out; “Ft Worth Police Department, is anyone home”. She would’ve responded accordingly..This is unacceptable, pure and simple

It was a wellness check. The auntie had just got out of hospital

If ones reaction to thinking someone might have a gun is to shoot them within 4 seconds, one should never be given a firearm, period.

Also seems like manslaughter at least...

Or going to the store Or picking up your kid from school Or going to a park Or going in a run Or listening to Music Or watching TV Or sitting handcuffed in the back of a Police car... And yet here we are.
