Man Awarded For Forgiving Lady Who Killed His Brother. by DonJayrome(m): 4:52pm On Dec 07, 2019
Brandt Jean, the brother of Botham Jean, received an award Tuesday from a law enforcement organization for his "display of empathy and forgiveness" toward ex-cop Amber Guyger.

Guyger, the former Dallas police officer who killed Botham Jean, was sentenced to 10 years in prison in October after she was convicted of murder.

In an emotional and stunning moment in the courtroom, Brandt Jean asked State District Judge Tammy Kemp if he could hug Guyger. The two embraced and whispered to each other after Guyger was sentenced.

"If you truly are sorry, I know I can speak for myself, I forgive you. I know if you go to God and ask him, he will forgive you," Brandt Jean told Guyger during victim impact statements following the sentencing.

The Institute of Law Enforcement Administration selected 18-year-old Brandt Jean to receive the 2019 Ethical Courage Award. The presentation took place at the organizations Plano office.



Botham Jean, 26, was sitting in his apartment when Guyger walked in and shot him. She said she thought she was entering her own apartment and believed Jean was an intruder.

The September 2018 shooting sparked protests in Dallas and across the country, with many activists saying Jeans death was another example of police brutality against people of color.

Botham Jean was black and Guyger is white.

After the conviction and sentencing, Brandt Jeans act of forgiveness helped the community heal, said Gregory Smith, the director of the Institute of Law Enforcement Administration.

"Despite an unimaginable loss, he saw the humanity in the person responsible for his brothers death," Smith said in a written statement. "He saw her pain and regret, and had the ability to show empathy, caring and forgiveness."

To forgive those who are not sorry is STUPIDITY.

It takes a foolish heart to forgive a cold blooded murderer who isn't sorry for taking a life.

The CarribeanCOON of the decade award goes to Brandt Jean for publicly kissing the white ass of a cold blooded murderer on camera for the world to see.

This act of treason did not bring the community together but brought so much SHAME and ANGER to the community.

A white person killed your brother and you're hugging her.But if it was a black person that killed his brother now, will he forgive?

Nonsense.

Two days later, the witness whose testimony helped with the conviction of Guyger was found dead in his apartment. He had been shot twice.
Must have been retaliation from her cohorts in the Police Department. And see her shedding crocodile tears and feigning sorry. Was a hug undeserved.

In Naija, we go think it's a planned work. Especially, if the deceased is the breadwinner.


May God forgive us all

Unforgiveness ends up eating up and killing whosoever habours. Its left to the offender to sort out her conscience....

Exactly, if Brandt Jean is found laying on the street with his brain particle splattered on the ground I won't miss a meal. Honestly the situation surrounding the murder of his brother infuriates me, you ain't safe in your house anymore!?!! IN YOUR HOUSE!? and the crime unforgivable crime he was caught doing was sitting in his sofa, in his house murdering a meal? not shot by robbers or gangbangers or nobody but a racist cop.
Why dont the system make an example of her to deter the other cops like the do people of colour by handing her 25 to L or the lethal juice and this nigglet has the audacity to hug his brother's murderer. I despise him a lot more than the cold killer.

Let him go and chop the award. Even God can't forgive all sins.

He is such a good lad with big heart unlike some of us who don't forgive everything.
Forgiveness is of God only and until I attain such status, I choose what to forgive and what not to forgive.
You don't just shoot my brother with a short gun and expect me to forgive you when I have superior guns in my possession. sad
