I wonder how many people she has killed in the line of duty. Would be interesting to see what her Guyger counter is currently sitting at.

I'll show myself out

I think in the piece in the link, they referred to another shooting incident she was involved with.

Sounds like murder. He was above her, I know lots of people who want to murder the residents directly above them in a block of flats.

She was trespassing, she had no probable cause to enter his apartment. She walked into the wrong apartment and shot an innocent person now making all kinds of excuses, throw her ass in jail.

Dallas police accused of smearing man killed by cop in his own apartment

An attorney for the family of a man shot dead by a police officer in the man's own apartment said a police affidavit shows investigators immediately sought evidence to discredit the victim. "They immediately began looking to smear him," said Lee Merritt, who represents the family of Botham Jean, who was shot dead in his own Dallas apartment Sept. 6.

Officer Amber Guyger, who shot him, said she mistook his apartment for her own and thought he was an intruder.


A police affidavit shows that officers seized, among other items, 10.4 grams of marijuana and a marijuana grinder from Jean's apartment. Merritt said the search warrant showed investigators were immediately looking for drug paraphernalia, CBS Dallas / Fort Worth reports.

Guyger is charged with manslaughter and remains free on $300,000 bond.

To protect and serve, your own.

If this is murder the smoking gun will be a picture of both of them together

Ya'll engaging in some casual racial stereotyping. I mean it is obvious that the drugs and paraphernalia belonged to the black guy...
The warrant does not indicate who owned which items.

The list includes fired cartridge casings, a laptop, a black backpack with police equipment and paperwork, a little more than ten grams of marijuana, a metal marijuana grinder, two radio frequency ID keys and two used packages of medical aid.

For all we know, the officer of the law could have been high out of her mind. Which would kinda be awkward for the whole-weed-does-no-harm crowd.

This is literally on of the biggest problems facing the US today. Their police force and judicial system is so broken it is laughable.

Also +1 on this woman committed murder. She had a badge so suddenly it is manslaughter? Wtf

Imagine trying to sell the story that she waited long enough for him to 'disobey her orders' and still didn't realise that she wasn't even in her own apartment. When you walk in the door of what you think is your house, how long do you think it'd take you to realise it wasn't your own home?

I mean that has literally never happened to me. Even when I stay in other countries I immediately know if I'm in the place I'm staying after being there just once. I once got drunk beyond belief and then my friends gave me pot to top it off. I still have no memory of that evening (other than flashes of light from cars while walking). Was still somehow able to walk back to my own apartment.

F#@king cats and dogs know where their own homes are ffs.

It is a basic mammalian instinct (for obvious survival reasons). I can't even image it being possible to be that wasted.

A Dallas police officer who fatally shot a black man inside his own flat, saying she confused it for her own home, has been fired.

Amber Guyger "engaged in adverse conduct when she was arrested for manslaughter", police said in a press release on Monday.

Botham Shem Jean died on 6 September, after Ms Guyger entered his home in the building where they both lived.

Ms Guyger, 30, is currently out on bail, pending a criminal trial.

Dallas Police Chief U Renee Hall terminated her employment during a hearing on Monday, police said, adding that she has the right to appeal.

‘I’m done’: Former Dallas officer Amber Guyger worried over job in 911 call after Botham Jean shooting

DALLAS —
The 911 call former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger made after fatally shooting neighbor Botham Shem Jean in his own apartment in September shows the panic the 30-year-old Guyger felt in the immediate aftermath of her lethal mistake.

Guyger had just finished a 14-hour shift and was still in uniform when she arrived at the South Side Flats, where she lived on the third floor in an apartment directly under Jean, a 26-year-old accountant. Jean, a native of Saint Lucia, was black; Guyger is white.

Voice recording of the 9/11 call got leaked to the media.
