A Texas sheriff's office released bodycam video nearly a week after deputies allegedly shot a woman, mistaking her for an intruder, after she forgot her keys and broke the glass to get into an apartment.
Last year, there was a story on here about a homeowner who blasted a drunk college kid through the door of the house because the drunk kid thought it was his own house, and broke the window to unlock the door. And the homeowner faced no charges because it was self-defense. I lamented that this is the America we live in, where people just start blasting without trying anything else first, like turning on the porch light, or calling out. I got down-voted to hell by all the people who said they’d do the same to protect their families.
What if it’d been the cops at the wrong house instead of a drunk college student?
The victims only heard banging and not the cops announcement.
So she gets her gun to defend herself and answer the door.
Cops see the gun through the window. Don’t announce they’re police. Scream to drop the gun and immediately empty their clips…
The same window the victim could have looked out? The cops clearly identified themselves on the video.
