No matter how you cut it, what happened to this man is tragic and up until recently, I felt there was a broad consensus that the officer involved should face serious criminal charges. Even people who are usually willing to believe the officer's version no matter what were forced to concede that this officer was at fault --- but now, I think they may have a way to blame the dead guy on this one.
According to Dallas officer Amber Guyger, she issued verbal commands to the deceased and he wouldn't comply with her commands, so she was forced to shoot him. In other words, she is trotting out the old "the scary black man wouldn't comply so I shot him" defense. This is a pretty good defense because there are many times where "suspects" don't comply and in turn the officer fears for their safety and shots have to be fired -- but this man was not a suspect, he was in his own home, she was the one breaking and entering.
Unfortunately, after some time has passed and the attention is not as focused, I can very well see this excuse paying off and this woman facing no serious time. What say you?

Race Pimping Bullshit .....
Gotta love another fake news article with an anonymous source from a racist site written solely to stir the racist pot.
Leftist are mentally ill.

Here in liberal fascist Maryland, we had a black off duty cop strangle his 17 year old, innocent black neighbor to death ... and the cop was found not guilty because he used police techniques.
I'm sure in the op case, the sentence will be too light as well.

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

STOP RESISTING!
We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
Ergo, religion.
rac·ist
rāsəst/noun
a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

She aimed the gun and pulled the trigger. Not an accident. She was mistaken in her assessment of the situation, but she did not make a mistake according to her excuse. She thought it was her place and the burglar was a threat. She meant to shoot. That she thought she had to shoot was a mistake and not an accident because she is trained to think that way.
