Texas (Fort Worth) police officer shoots woman to death inside her home.
- Thread starter Tukarrs
- Start date
After a "free vacation" while they investigate and then, to the surprise of no one, find nothing.
Just another example of shitty American gun culture, if it wasn't possible that pretty much anyone can own a loaded weapon I'm sure there would be less shoot first, ask questions later incidents.
You don't hear about innocent people getting shot on a regular basis in other countries.

Fucking devils in uniform. Didnt even identify himself before opening fire on an innocent woman. Yet another example of how we're not even safe in our own homes with these white supremacists "protecting" us.
R.I.P. Atatiana Jefferson.
I wish I could say justice will be served but I'm not that naive.

I think that plays a part but the bigger problem is with systemic racism in police departments and poor training for officers.
Just saw this on BBC news. I imagine nothing will change, like cops in America just seem to getting worse and getting away with it but part of me wonders if this triggers a riot like several years ago.
I'd be surprised if he even got charged. He's out enjoying a paid vacation for murdering an innocent person in their own home.
Why wouldn't it be OK? Everything they said is true. We not allowed to post facts here now?
Posting this, because I think it's important for people unfamiliar with black neighborhoods to grasp the normalcy that is constantly being invaded and violated by people who are supposed to protect us:
When police enter our neighborhoods, their training AND their racism train them to see superhuman "thugs" with guns and fangs or some shit lurking around every corner.
And normal, every day, tax paying Americans pay the price.

I live just outside of Dallas, and one night I woke up to this sight in my backyard:
Police officer and K-9 breach the backyard gate. Not visible, but 2 other officers are hiding behind the fence and holding the gate open waiting for the signal to advice forward.
Happened 2 years ago now, but this was what my wife and I woke up to one morning. Saw flashes of light outside the bedroom windows and thought it was just lighting. When I peeked through the blinds to see if it was raining, I saw 4 police officers with their guns drawn and a K-9 unit searching my back yard!
I immediately called 911 to find out what the hell was going on! They had been chasing a car burglar through the neighborhood and the K-9 had tracked him to my backyard.
I have security cameras all around the house, so after everything was done I replayed the recordings to see how this all got started. I found that the suspect had jumped the wood fence of my rear neighbor, before jumping the fence of my left side neighbor and then bolted across the street pass my wife's car in the driveway. According to the time stamp on the cameras, the police were roughly 1 hour behind him. They eventually caught him and used my camera footage as evidence against him.
It's scary sometimes. The police never identified themselves to me or knocked on the door to let me know they were there or what they were doing. I only just happened to see their flash lights In the early morning hours and got the run down on what was happening from a 911 dispatcher.
Makes me wonder what would have happened if you were doing something in your backyard when the k-9 unit reached your house. You being confused while they are on edge would have made for a possibly disastrous confrontation.
At this point I'm ready to believe that cops killing minorities like this is a form of gang initiation.
That poor woman, child, and anyond close to them.
And fuck, imagine being worried for someone, calling the cops, and then having this happen. I'd be ruined by guilt.
Also, I hate that I have to see a happy, smiley ad before being shown the body cam footage. Fucking tasteless.

Literally my exact thoughts. Gun should have never came out of the holster.
An officer commenting on the incident and being heavily critical of another officer???
Narrator: he was Black

Good video, I didn't know a lot of the scene but this guy talked about it and even gave info from experience. This should be a clear cut case. A lot of people that showed up should be in trouble. They approached the scene all wrong, looking for a fight it seem. Hid their car, didn't knock or talk through the screen, tried to Rainbow Six it, blinded the victim and shot her dead. He wasn't even sure that she could hear him because the cop told her to raise her han(shoots).
I was going to post about what they did wrong, but this guy pretty much hit everything perfectly.
Imagine if he'd utilized his right to defend himself against the invading cop and dog and blown them both away.
They're generally very reactionary in thought and thus treat anything outside their view of "normalcy" as dangerous, and in america we literally train cops to not hesitate to shoot someone.
you'll be able to taste the hipocrocy when they try for the 'she had a gun and i feared for my life' angle
Every fucking time I decide to come over to the etcetera side there's always some fucking crazy news like this one. Like, what the fuck? That video is fucking insane, he just straight up murdered a person. In her home, being blinded by a flashlight, being shouted at through a window with no fucking way to know who was talking and probably not even understanding what was being said and absolutely with no time to react. So fucking infuriating.
Police departments keeps hiring racist people. Plus Systemic Racism.
There needs to be a police reform all around this country.

Worry for him, because you aren't supposed to speak out against other officers, even though he is considerate and simply pointing out improper procedure.
Me too. It's getting out of control.
This woman was calling the police, asking them for help, & you just come by & shoot & kill her for no real reason? Especially when she was playing video games right beside her nephew?
And people wonder why black people such as myself don't trust the police out here in America anymore. They wonder why the police get such a bad reputation in this country now!
It's absolutely ridiculous; Absolutely outrageous & absurd!
Another layer of fucked about this is that the neighbor who called was honestly worried because the door was left open past 2 am. Imagine thinking that you're helping your neighbor out of a potentially dangerous situation, only to get them killed?
And the nephew... Fuck.
