"The officers then walked around the home and into the dark holding a flashlight. At some point, one of them quickly approached a window with his weapon drawn."

"Within seconds, the officer yelled, “Put your hands up! Show me your hands!” and fired through the window. The officer did not appear to identify himself as police before firing his weapon."

Thats exactly right very much like another Texas police shooting in a citizens home.This shooting I think is worse because from what know so far,the cop knew where he was and was not disorientated.
He just shot her without indentifying himself,at least he said put up your hands but he never said he was a cop.

Police deny what is an obvious fact: they see African Americans as the enemy, and not as citizens in need of protection.

Anybody who isn't a white, straight, cis, non-disabled, Christian male should be above the law, and it should be illegal to even criticize them.

I think this story will be big and will blow up much more than the other ones. It's going to have a real impact on our politics, far exceeding the others.

Just like Amber Guyger. Whatever happened to "THIS IS THE POLICE"?

Seriously? They march in to someone's home and then shoot the person living there?

People who actually know about the law regarding stuff like this: what will happen to the police officer who fired the shot?

US police continue their proud tradition of staggering incompetence.

I'm just waiting for the time someone shoots a police officer like Guyger or this guy in self-defense after they barge into their home brandishing a gun.

It's happened, lots of times:

Quote:
On Dec. 19, 2013, Texan Henry Goedrich Magee shot and killed an officer entering his home with a no-knock warrant. He said he thought he was being burglarized and the grand jury decided that was a reasonable assumption. They decided against indicting him, on the shooting, anyway, though Magee did spend 18 months in jail on a marijuana charge.

On the other hand, in a similar case, Marvin Guy of Texas is still awaiting trial more than four years after a no-knock raid resulted in an officer’s death.

Cory Maye of Mississippi spent 10 years on death row for killing a police officer during a drug raid on his home before a plea deal reduced the charge to manslaughter and time served in 2014. Maye had claimed he was defending his young daughter against what he believed was an attack on his home.

Ray Rosas – who wasn’t even the target of the raid and didn’t kill the police officers he shot – spent two years in jail, mostly in solitary confinement, awaiting trial before he was acquitted. His elderly mother was removed from his care and he lost his family home.

At least there was a warrant in those cases, if nothing else. Guyger just barged into her neighbours apartment and shot him dead after she mistook what floor she was actually on, failed to identify herself and, presumably, failed to call it in because had she done so she would've been told to wait for backup and a sane person might at some point have identified the apartment as not actually being hers...

There actually was one incident where the cops raided the wrong home and were shot by the homeowner (both survived). Fortunately, the police here admitted fault and didn't charge the homeowner:

There are probably more I don't know about.

It has been reported that the 8 year old nephew of Atatiana Jefferson watched as his aunt was shot and killed.The community has outcried for the arrest of the officer who shot her.

He hasn't even been arrested yet?
