    Texas police officer shoots woman to death inside her home

    Source: NBC news

    A Fort Worth police officer checking out a residence with an open door opened fire on a woman inside her home, killing her, authorities said.

    The shooting early Saturday happened less than two weeks after a police officer in nearby Dallas was found guilty of murder for fatally shooting a man in his home in 2018. In both cases the officers are white and the victims were African American.


    In the Fort Worth shooting at 2:25 a.m. Saturday, authorities have the officer's body-camera footage.

    According to NBC Dallas-Fort Worth, the imagery shows the perspective of the officer outside a home, peering inside a window using a flashlight, spotting someone inside standing near a window and telling her, "Put your hands up — show me your hands," before opening fire.

    Fort Worth police say one shot was fired.

    Texas is turning purple, I'm Ok with texas if they keep going this way. If Texas ever becomes reliably blue,

    Come on Texas, keep evolving and progressing!

    So the person was inside the house, where they could not harm the officer, and he shot anyways? Hope they prosecute him/her for murder, if the story turns out to be true.

    I'll be curious to compare this male cop's future prison sentence to Amber Guyger's.

    With a militarized police force, there are no suspects, only enemies.

    In both cases the officers are white and the victims were African American.

    If Texas keeps "progressing" it may soon have as many civilians killed by police (rate) as California. More progress and Texas may even catch up to California in inequality and poverty rate.

    Actually Texas is one of the states that does punish cops.

    About 60,000 per year, but most are middle-working class and not poor.

    We probably wouldn’t have the highest poverty rate in the country if was poor people who were leaving. You’re right about about who is, middle to working class folks.

    Don't live in Texas and I'm glad of that

    These stories are bad, however, keep in mind there are hundreds of thousands of cops out there having millions of personal contacts with people every day, and ninety nine plus of those encounters are fine, a few unfortunate dimwits shouldn't characterize all cops
