They're digging up his entire life as we speak to build a narrative that Botham Jean was a hardened criminal. Just wait for it.
Give it up. I'm as a big a critic as anyone when it comes to the special privileges and immunities that cops get when they shoot people without justification. But you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about in this case, and there's absolutely no chance that what you're predicting will happen.
You can't say it's rare. It could be the new normal. If you want to say it was rare in the past, I'm with you on that.
And I remember Castile. The fake news media presented it as a case of white racism run amok when the killer was actually Filipino. When they blamed me and my people I kind of lost interest in whether Castile himself was innocent, although undoubtedly he was.
If a black man claimed to have mistaken his apartment and shot the woman at the door, he would be in jail, full stop.
This woman is legally allowed to carry a gun. With that comes the responsibility to use it correctly, the same way a licensed driver is. She murdered a man in cold blood guilty of nothing more than answering his own door. The woman should have been fired immediately and go on trial. She's already demonstrated poor judgement with regard to her ability to judiciously use a gun and now must answer for killing a man.
So would a white man be arrested if he claimed to mistaken his apartment and shot the woman at the door.
You forget how long it took for that black Somali cop in Minnesota to be arrested for shooting and killing Justine Damond behind her home in her night gown who had called the police. That was if anything more egregious.

I wouldn't say more but it was equally bad. There, they shot the woman who had called the police. Here, the guy opened his door. If anything, he might have seen her through the peephole and thought something had happened.

OK but there wasn't "they" there was only a "he" a black somali cop who shot the woman and riding with a partner responding to a call who did not fire. The cop knew they were responding to a call from a woman.
Point is it was about the same situation or perhaps worse in reverse gender and race and it took a long time for that officer to be arrested and charged.

Wow, can you imagine that?
"I'm a black man, and there's a uniformed officer at my door. I'd better do everything by the book, given all I've heard lately."

Yup, and that's exactly what's predictably been happening on this thread.
Without knowing the full story, the usual CD 'experts' are already determining the guilt of Botham Jean, the victim, who was a university graduate and working for PricewatershouseCoopers (much to their disappointment as he doesn't fit their profile), and the innocence of the cop, a young white woman.
According to the 'experts' on here, since Botham was a young black man, he must have instigated this incident by screaming at Amber (the cop) and threatening to kill her. Botham must have acted in a hostile and aggressive manner to warrant being gunned down.
The main point being, without the full facts being known, some people on this forum are already forming a narrative of the big bad black man threatening a young white woman, and she in turn shooting him in 'self defense.' And to think that some on this forum want to grandstand that there is no longer any racism in America.
Again, I think this whole thing stinks. My guess is that the two somehow knew each other, and this was hardly an accident. I'll wait for the entire story, but it's just so suspicious. Who's ever heard of such a ludicrous scenario. I've read comments on other articles on this incident, and interesting that I wasn't the only one to point out that we may have confused our cars with another person's, but never an apartment room.
