and whites are not being killed Or are blacks not killing blacks too In 2015 number of pple killed by cops in usa was 1388. 40% was white. Y does no one scream about that

Look at this one, what is the population of whites compared to blacks in America, over 80% of Americans are whites, with police brutality at 40% for whites, that should tell you something.

A white Texas police officer who entered an apartment mistaking it for her own and shot dead the black man who lived there was arrested on manslaughter charges.

Officer Amber Guyger with the Dallas Police Department was arrested Sunday and booked into the county jail, the Texas Department of Public Safety said.

At the end of her shift and still in uniform, Guyger entered the apartment in a complex near downtown Dallas late Thursday and shot the black man who she thought was an intruder, police said.

Minutes after shooting she called emergency services and told responding officers that she thought she had entered her own apartment.

The victim, an African-American, was identified as Botham Shem Jean, 26, an immigrant from the Caribbean island nation of Saint Lucia.

Jean had graduated from a private Christian college in the state of Arkansas in 2016 and had since been working at the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers in Dallas.

According to the Dallas Morning News, Guyger got off on the wrong floor of the building complex and approached an apartment exactly one floor above her own.

The door was unlocked and the lights were off and when Guyger saw a figure moving in the dark she pulled out her pistol and opened fire thinking it was an intruder, the newspaper reported.

Dallas police said that Guyger, 30, has been with the department for four years. Local reports said she was involved in an earlier shooting in May 2017.

The Dallas-Fort Worth NBC affiliate reported that Guyger was released late Sunday on a $300,000 bail.

Dallas Police Chief U. Renee Hall took the unusual step of handing the case over to the Texas Rangers — a division of the Department of Public Safety — to “eliminate the appearance of any potential bias”, police said in a statement.

“On behalf of the Dallas Police Department, we are continuing to pray for Mr. Jean’s family, and ask that the community remain patient as this investigation is conducted,” Hall said.

Hall, who is African-American, became the city’s first female police chief in September 2017.

Jean’s mother Allison Jean, earlier told NBC News that the incident “feels like a nightmare”.

Her son “was in no wrong place at any wrong time. He was in his sanctuary, in the place where he called home. He didn’t deserve this,” she told NBC.

These white thrash are annoying and bloody racist ... Why charged her for manslaughter while it is clear to every reasonable eye that it's a murder case?? Imagine if the killer was a black person !! He or she would have been hanged emotionally before the physical hangman..... cry cry

The whole story is yet to come out. I'm sure this is a crime of passion this lady thinks she can get out of it cause she's a cop. For those screaming racism , hush already. I have seen more black on black hate in Nigeria than white on black in America. Before you call someone racist look Your self in the mirror.

It's hard to put this down to anything other than being trigger happy. Those playing the race card and saying that this is evidence of systematic racism are overlooking the fact that the Head of Police who is this woman's boss also happens to be a black woman as well. It's a tragedy and she's going to be well punished for her crime, but let's not make it into something that it isn't.


So was it her boss who gave her the order to shoot him or what are you saying

Just read the comments here regarding this story and go to a black American website and read the comments on the same story and you will understand how widely different is the attitude of Africans especially Nigerians to white racism and that of American descendants of chattel slavery.

This is smtin I so much hate abou America. .

smone wud kill someone coz he/she is depressed
Kill coz u thought wrong
Kill bcoz someone broke ur heart
Kill coz u thought ts ws ur house e.t.c

and the culprit wud be allowed to go scout free by paying bail instead of suffering fr ur crimes or killed to

it's really so annoying what kinda justice operate there angry
yea the cop is obviously depressed and must have taken alcohol or hard drugs.

i dunno why the police keep recruiting drunkards and drug abusers. these particular group of people
are serious environmental hazards that must be tackled.

A lot of misinformation posted here.

There are pictures of them together on FB. Clearly this is a case of romance gone wrong.

The building where he lives uses chip cards for entrance. No way her chip card would open his door without him letting her in willingly.

Cmon guys, get the facts right.

If there was no prior bad blood between the both of them before, it looks like an honest mistake.

Just imagine this scenario. A Nigerian soldier gets by 1am, tired from work only to find someone in his apartment.

The real issue here isn't racism. American police is simply upgrading to SARS level. Shoot first, ask questions later. These days, any remotely threatening situation is treated with the highest possible force.

In fact, it'll shock you to know that a police guy was sacked for talking to someone with a gun instead of shooting (for engendering his own life and the lives of other police guys). Whereas someone who shot and killed unnecessarily was placed on paid suspension pending investigation (i.e. when news would get tired of the matter). After that, killer police resumed duty.

They are already giving reason why the victim caused his own death forgetting that he was inside his own apartment. Funny people

Educating me? I like learning things I don't know as since ignorance is a burden to wisdom .

I don't really know what your point is , but the one thing that captured my attention is the (self hate) comment. To that I will say to you that a mad man that continues to praise and self love himself is never gonna get help, because he loves himself so much that he does not even know he is crazy.

Until black people in America look at themselves individually and ask what is wrong with me? they are going to continue to wallow in ( group think syndrome) and continue in their slavery to the democratic party.

For Nigerians, is it not ironic that they all frown and scream racism in one accord with black Americans, yet they line up at the US embassy to come to the same country they criticize.

Mr man take a hard look at yourself in the mirror.
