    They tell us to "pull up our pants." "Get a job." "Wear a suit." "Cut your hair." Here's what I know...#BothamJean did ALL of this and more. Was literally the epitome of respectability. And he was murdered by police in his own home. He never laid a finger on this cop.https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1038128986440835073 …

    #BothamJean A BRILLIANT young man. Analyst for Price Waterhouse Cooper. A worship leader at church. Murdered by the @DallasPD this morning. Unarmed, non-violent. IN HIS OWN HOME. Cop says she walked into the wrong apartment instead of her own. Thought he was an intruder. pic.twitter.com/HYgLgagPsK

        How can you not know you’re in the wrong home? She couldn’t tell the furniture was different? The door number was different? She needs to be charged.

        The only time I have ever heard of individuals entering the wrong home (while thinking it was theirs) was when that individual was black out intoxicated .... makes you wonder

        Even worse if that’s the case here, because she’d just gotten off work.

        It’s open season on black people. These police are demonstrating they have the right to kill us for any reason that can be labeled “I feared”. These people are lucky we just want justice not revenge. My heart is in a constant state of rage for these trespasses against us.

        It's an assassination by the KKK. Premeditated murder. If an officer doesn't know where she/he lives, walking into strangers house without a warrant it's breaking and entering, trespassing and murder for killing him. The officer has no probable cause for been there. #SWaGodKing

        Why the hell the officer gets the privilege of not being identified. He was the victim of this crime but the officer gets protected. That's not right.

        How she walked into the wrong apartment do they have the same keys!! And doesn’t she have something in her apartment that would let her know wait I’m not in my house! She should be drug tested because she must have been high or drunk but a peaceful protest is more offensive smh!!

        As if it wasn't bad enough for black people getting shot, but in his own home? Just beyond comprehension. My heart goes out to his family. #GunsKill

        This needs some serious investigation. How the hell did that female cop walk into someone else's apartment and then just shoot them? This has a very bad smell.

        This is sickening. I struggle to comprehend what is happening in your country on a daily basis. And I’m thankful to you for continually shining a light on it and that the UK police are, in the main, unarmed.

        And again, if we weren’t such a racist, gun-worshipping culture, think what a fun, different story we could be reading!! Two people meet in a hilarious mistake and become life-long friends and drinking buddies. Or band mates. Or whatever. Just not murderer and victim.
