I'm reading this to mean he knew she was home alone with her nephew and wondered why the door was open at that hour.....as though he was afraid someone had broken in.
What's the criteria for becoming a cop in TX? Being able to shoot to kill?
Doubt it. That is, if this is real at all. I'm starting to think this, as well as the Guyger case, are all BS. Fake, false flags so the powers that be can use it to strip Americans more of their second amendment. They are right now attacking the hell out of Texas because of it's love for guns and defending yourself. I also think the El Paso shooting was also staged.
I would mention as well--and maybe cops are never taught this in their training--but the average person, not being a criminal, is going to be flustered when suddenly yelled at in a normal, relaxed situation.
If the average person is sitting on his sofa and suddenly the police burst through the door with "hands up!" that person is going to be surprised and flustered and his brain won't even process the "hands up!" He's likely to leap up and make any range of unthinking movements before it ever registers that he's been targeted by a police officer as a threat.
The only people who will automatically respond properly to a sudden "hands up" are people who are accustomed to being arrested.
Right......and putting aside the fact he didn't identify himself as a cop, he didn't give her time to raise her hands even if she had immediately registered what he was telling her. The report I watched said there were three seconds between him telling her to put her hands up and shooting.

I thought about that too. It's a long holiday weekend and this was Saturday early morning . . . so.
But I agree, this isn't what mainstream families do. She's the aunt, not the mother also. So she may have a completely different standard of care.
Mark Klaas, whose daughter was a victim of kidnapping and has gone on to advocate for victim families, said often when a tragedy occurs the "snapshot" of the family directly preceding the event looks "odd", although they were innocent.
