If I heard someone trying to open my door I'd probably "argue" also.
.
Yeah, of course. I’d probably come to the door with something in my hand to potentially defend myself as well, just in case (like a knife or a hammer).
But if he did any of that it becomes an “unfortunate misunderstanding” and she’ll get off. That’s just how this works.
In fact it doesn’t even have to be a weapon. If he had a cell phone in his hand, it would be enough for “it was dark and I thought it was a gun”. It doesn’t take much.
I get it that we get absent minded at times, particularly if we are fatigued and lots of things on our mind, but how does one forget where they live?
I have had a few times where I almost tried to get into a car that was very similar to mines in appearance, but the hell do you go to an apartment complex different from yours? And then gun down someone?
This cop was also involved in a suspicious shooting last year. Gotta wait for the whole story cuz like I said this is shady.
Have they released the results of her blood test yet? If she was three sheets to the wind that would probably explain everything. Cops are like a stone wall when one of their own screws up.

They're still finding a way for it to get lost in the lab. Regrettable oversight, paperwork mess-up, those responsible will receive a stern talking-to, yadda yadda.

Yeah, I don't think so. This case has been turned over to the Texas Rangers. They will figure out the truth.
If anyone testifies that they heard her yelling 'open up, open up', then that may be proof that she knew what she was doing. Nothing I've seen so far indicates she lived with anyone.
And since she's a cop, I'm not convinced she didn't jam that key in the lock after the fact. Sorry, I just don't trust cops.
My guess. She approached the wrong appt, thinking it was her own. While struggling with her key, she finds the door is actually unlocked.
"Why TF is my door unlocked?!"
Her occupation preconditions her to mal-intent, so she's prepared to find someone ransacking her place. With gun drawn, she enters the darkened room, not to check to see if her furniture is hers, (why wouldn't it be?) but for reason to believe someone is in her appt.
Upon meeting the silhouette of a figure, male by the sound of his voice, she doesn't know if he's armed, so she fires first.
Now imagine the reverse scenario - young black man enters the wrong apartment and kills a young, white, female police officer. I suspect charges would have been filed by now. If he'd survived the arrest, that is.
