The owner of a gun is responsible for the results of shooting it.

What little I know about this case...combined with what little I know about the *letter* of the law...suggests that if I was a juror I wouldn't vote "guilty" on anything higher (harsher) than negligent homicide.
I don't think that there was anything more than breathtaking stupidity involved.

Not only that, but she failed to do what typical cop training teaches them in the academy.
Major fail!

A female officer shot and wounded a unarmed mental health counselor who was lying in the street next to his ward who was mentally disabled and playing with his toys.
A female court officer had her weapon taken from her and used by the convict to escape and murder several people.
Can somebody tell me who is hiring these incompetent women? (A liberal incompetent, no doubt filling out a "quota")

Besides her walking into the wrong apartment, she noticed that he had not taken out the trash as he said he would.

Cops are taught when they're off duty, in situations like this, don't play cop when you're off duty. No radios, no support, no back up.
All she had to do was walk down the hall and call her close-by police station on her cell and tell them she suspected possible armed dangerous intruders were inside her residence. Simple.
Would you enter your residence alone if you suspected this?
Not me!

Hello, 911? I just shot an intruder who rearranged all my furniture, replaced the carpeting, and put someone else’s pictures on my walls.
To: dragnet2
Not only that, but she failed to do what typical cop training teaches them in the academy.If my daughter,or granddaughter,were to walk into *her* home and find an unauthorized person there I'm hoping that the first thing she'd do is shoot.
Yes,it's a major fail for her having somehow walked into the wrong apartment.Other than that she was 100% spot on...cop or no cop.

So evidently she thought she was going into her own apartment. The door had to be unlocked so she has an “oh shit moment”. Draws her weapon and explores....sees and shoots the male black. Then notices her furniture has been replaced with someone else’s and is REALLY confused. Then notices the fathead of LT on the living room wall realizes she had made a slight error.

Upon entering the apartment, she could see into the bathroom that he left the toilet seat up again...

Well, there was the apartment in “Capricorn One”.

How in the hell do you get into an apartment that isn’t yours?
Do you normally leave the door unlocked? Did the key even fit?
Does the interior arrangement look the same?

Clearly her defense should be that she had no choice since there were no children, pregnant women, wheelchair-bound people, or dogs to shoot...

I read she was in full uniform.
I strongly suspect this female officer isn't playing with a full deck, based on the fact most big city cops change their uniform into street clothes when off duty.
For a cop in this day and age, the last thing ya wanna do is go home in full uniform so every cop hating nutcake, gangster etc, can follow you and or watch which residence you go to. Very dumb thing to do.
Those who don't practice these common sense defensive measures are asking for big trouble and probably shouldn't be cops.
