What a beautiful moment. I hope their healing can finally begin.

You think?
That's an honest question--no sarcasm? I'm honestly curious about what the reaction is and is going to be.
I can only offer anecdotal information but everyone in my circle sees it the same. I don’t know what will be made official. But I don’t want to live in a world where something like this is okay.

First off I’d like to say that I’m heartbroken for the Jean family. As a parent myself, I hope Mr. Jean’s father and mother find some peace in the outcome. They appear to be a wonderful family that raised an exceptional young man.
I think in the time between the offense and the trial beginning I had given the defendant a benefit of doubt, for lack of a better term. I saw it as a tragic mistake, but I didn’t see it as a criminal offense. I knew a detail or two, but I was as unaware of most facts of the case as you all were.
I think the first turn of the tide for me was seeing that first body camera video and the position of Mr. Jean’s body. In my head leading into the trial, I saw this incident occurring much closer to the front door. I expected him to be in that narrow corridor leading towards the entry area of the apartment. His actual position was quite shocking as he was no where near the front door. Regardless of whether he was seated when she made entry or not, I don’t understand how she perceived a threat.
I can understand and almost see myself making the mistakes that led her to Mr. Jean’s door. I don’t live in an apartment, but there have been plenty of days where I pull into my driveway and don’t recall the actual drive itself. So all the easy, dumb signs she missed, I can understand. But every single action from her after that door opened were unreasonable and unjustifiable, in my opinion. There was no reason to enter if she believed there was an intruder prior to entering. She believed she was on the third floor. There is only one way for a suspect to escape as we do not live in a Hollywood world and he isn’t going to scale the side of the building. Pull back, call for help...be done.
That aside, she goes inside still. She then makes the fatal mistake of shooting before probably any rational thought goes through her head. I don’t see how she perceived him a deadly threat(other than his mere presence) because she didn’t allow time to perceive anything at all. We all understand the significance of that mistake.
Her selfishness after that fact also bothers me. She called for help as she should have but she abandoned all other responsibilities. Fucking focus and do what you can, however you can. It ultimately would not have changed the outcome but it did herself no favors essentially ignoring Mr. Jean while texting and talking on the phone.
I’m glad she will be facing some consequences and I am in no minority there.

I think the documentary titled Jury Duty featuring Pauly Shore is worth a watch here. An in-depth look at what the jurors may be going through.

Total annihilation.

RIP brotha man.

Probably halfway through the prosecution cross of the defendant and the only word that comes to mind is evisceration.

I don’t believe her legal costs are being covered. I could be wrong, though.

Again after you fucking make this mistake once, how the fuck do you not become aware and give the slightest effort???? Just inconceivable to me.
When I was a kid, I accidentally got into a gold Toyota Camry parked right next to my moms gold Toyota Camry. The shock and embarrassment is so seared into my brain that I still think and joke about it 20 years later when I’m getting into vehicles. I’m not sure how someone makes that mistake multiple times.

I'm not sure. I think it was a couple hours after the incident. Maybe enough time for alcohol to cycle out. Not exactly sure how long it would take to go from intoxicated to zero BAC for someone her size. The state isn't taking that angle anyways, so it doesn't really matter.
It would be more than zero. It wasn’t.

Ok thanks. Haven't gotten a chance to watch any of the livestream of the trial today.
The testimony you’ll want to watch is from Ranger Michael Stoner.

The State rest.
I thought they did a good job presenting their case. The testimony from neighbors got redundant to me but I understand their significance.

maybe you've commented on this or maybe not, or maybe you don't want to, but i'm compelled to ask: what would proper and responsible procedure have been for her in this situation, assuming it was her apartment?
I’ll comment on that when the trial is over. It’s not appropriate for me at this time.

But, when you think about it, her only other options would be:
1) Retreat into the hallway through the open door directly behind you and make lots of noise banging on other doors, alerting the dozens of other people who live in the building, and using your police radio to immediately summon LE
2) Announce "Dallas Police Freeze" and then ask what they are doing there, possibly brandishing your gun and/or using your police radio to immediately summon LE
3) If necessary, use your mace and/or Taser to disable the "suspect", then using your police radio to immediately summon LE
Clearly, none of those are reasonable, gotta be BANG BANG. After all, she's already dressed in black.
It’s a really dark blue.

I forget his name but he’s fairly early in todays proceedings.

I saw the pics of the layouts and the inside of both of their apartments. Were there also pics of what the hallways of both floors looked like leading up to their respective apartments?
A Ranger testified earlier today with videos of a complete walkthrough of each respective floor.

Only if it involves a coyote and a metal staircase.
Did it spiral in a regal manner or simply look poor?

So, permitted, not required? So basically only for convenience, doesn't mean anything else.
Correct. It’s my choice.

It’s almost as if he plays for the worst team in the league coached by a head coach that has never seen success.

Is that just a convenience measure, or intended to reflect that you're still sort of on the job until you get home?
Wearing your uniform home? Convenience for me. Gives me a few more minutes at home before work and out the door faster afterwards.

I would be pretty shocked if she had a Taser on her, doubt cops take Tasers home when they get off work generally. She did have a police radio though.
She would have had her taser on her. We are required to carry one on our duty belt in uniform. It is allowed to be taken home considering we are allowed to be in uniform in transport to home.

Thanks. So she was fired for violating the use of force policy related to this incident? Or another one?
This incident. The department stated she violated its policies. But the scope of the department’s policies are more narrow.

Dallas officer kills man after mistaking apartment for her own, police say

That would be Dominique Alexander. He would be a modern day MLK type figure if he could stop assaulting his family and significant others.
